Ariana Grande will ditch her signature stilettos for her two final The Eternal Sunshine Tour shows.
In a message posted to her Instagram Stories on Monday, the music superstar shared that she had recently hurt her foot and will be wearing "cosy footwear" at her gigs at The O2 Arena in London this week.
"My sweet petals, I wanted to let you know I will need to be in cozy footwear for this evening's show (and possibly tomorrow's) as I am bandaged up underneath, recovering from a minor injury," she wrote. "It is not a sprain or anything muscular but just a deep cut!"
Ariana went on to insist that fans have nothing to worry about.
"So when you see me tonight without my signature heels, or even possibly having a little trouble putting weight on that foot, that is why!" the 33-year-old continued. "But please do not fret. On with the show and I am on the mend!"
And to conclude, Ariana thanked concertgoers for their support.
"I cannot wait to perform for you tonight and tomorrow (even if I am a few inches shorter than usual)... I love you always," she added.
Ariana will perform her last show of The Eternal Sunshine Tour on Tuesday night.
As previously announced, the Hate That I Made You Love Me star will then take a hiatus.
"Human beings can need a break sometimes," she said at a concert in Chicago, Illinois in early August. "No matter what noises exist out there, nothing will ever be able to distort my reality or be more real to me or louder to me than this love that we share in this room. Or how it feels to make art with the people that I love and respect. Absolutely nothing will change that or distort that for me."
Ariana has had a busy year, having gone on a publicity tour for her movie Wicked: For Good in late 2025, kicked off the tour in June, and released her eighth studio album, Petal, at the end of July.
