Ariana Grande is taking a stand against negativity as she addresses the influx of “hateful messages” circulating on social media in response to her latest album, “Eternal Sunshine.” The emotionally charged project follows Grande’s recent split from Dalton Gomez, her partner of two years, and her newfound connection with Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.

In a candid message on her Instagram Story, Grande urged fans to refrain from spreading negativity about the people in her life based on their interpretations of the album. She emphasized that such messages do not support her and go against the very essence of what she encourages. Grande clarified that despite the album delving into painful moments, it is interwoven with a thread of deep, sincere love, a sentiment she hopes listeners can grasp more closely.

Released last Friday, “Eternal Sunshine” marks Grande’s first full album since her 2020 project, “Positions,” which dominated the Billboard 200 albums chart for two weeks. The new album has already made waves, claiming the title of the most-streamed album in a single day of 2024. Grande described “Eternal Sunshine” as a “kind of a concept album,” featuring different heightened pieces of the same story and experience. The lead single, “Yes, And?” debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

As Grande gears up to appear as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, her Instagram post serves as a prelude to the upcoming episode hosted by Dune star Josh Brolin. For more updates on Ariana Grande and the success of “Eternal Sunshine,” stay tuned to Honk Magazine.
