Ariana Grande’s latest three-night run in Florida was unlike any other stop on her ongoing Eternal Sunshine Tour — it was an emotional return to the place where the pop star was born and raised.
Grande, 33, revealed how much it meant to her to be back in the Sunshine State, sharing footage on Instagram of her three-day stint at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida.
In the video, titled “Sunshine Diaries: Florida,” the multi-Grammy winner emotionally addressed the audience from the stage. “This is such a special night. I’m so happy to be home with you all, you know?”
The Evil The actress recalled that she was just eight years old when she first sang in Amerant Bank Arena, singing the national anthem at a Panthers game.
“It really means so much to me. I love being from Florida. I love you all so much. Thank you for having me and for showing us so much love,” she continued.
“There’s no place like home,” Grande further captioned the Instagram post.
The Eternal Sunshine Tour (stylized in lowercase) kicked off at the Oakland Arena in California on June 6. So far, Grande has made stops in Los Angeles, Inglewood, Austin and Sunrise.
Now she will take the stage for three nights at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, from July 6th to July 9th.
The tour concludes with a 10-day stay at London’s O2 Arena.
