Pop Superstar Ariana Grande's Post-Show Elevator Ordeal! Stuck After 'Eternal Sunshine' Finale
Ariana Grande wrapped up her Eternal Sunshine Tour in London, only to find herself amusingly trapped in an elevator post-show, an incident she shared on Instagram. The pop star also recently released new music with her album 'petal' and its live counterpart, while stepping back from public engagements.
Pop superstar Ariana Grande recently concluded her highly anticipated 2026 Eternal Sunshine Tour, which culminated on September 1st at the iconic O2 Arena in London. Shortly after the final show, Grande found herself in an unexpected predicament, playfully sharing the experience with her fans on Instagram on September 12th.
Grande posted a series of photos revealing that she and her team member, CJ Robinson, got trapped in an elevator moments after the concert. The “7 Rings” singer captioned a black-and-white photo showing them attempting to pry open the doors, with a subsequent picture depicting her boyfriend, Ricky Álvarez, joining in the efforts. Robinson later commented, expressing that she “wouldn’t want to be stuck in an elevator with anyone else.”
The Eternal Sunshine Tour, a North American and European arena tour, was initially announced in August 2025. It supported Grande’s 2024 album, “Eternal Sunshine,” which achieved significant success by spending three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts. The tour kicked off on June 6th in Oakland, California, making stops in major cities like Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, and Montreal before concluding its impressive run with 10 shows at the O2 Arena in London.
In other recent developments, Ariana Grande announced in early August 2026 her decision to take “a step back” from public engagements due to “ongoing public scrutiny.” This move led to her withdrawal from a planned West End revival of “Sunday in the Park With George,” where she was slated to co-star. Despite this, Grande continued her musical output, releasing her eighth studio album, “petal,” in July, which promptly debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Furthermore, in early September, she surprise-released “petal (The Complete Live Album),” featuring live performances of all tracks from her latest studio album.
