- Ariana Grande opened her Eternal Sunshine Tour at Oakland Arena, delivering a 105‑minute performance.
- Setlist featured 23 songs, with 11 drawn from her 2024 Eternal Sunshine album or its deluxe bonus tracks.
- Classic hits like “God Is a Woman” from the Sweetener era were largely omitted, appearing only as a brief instrumental snippet.
- Tour context: Grande said last year the tour could be a “one last hurrah” after a six‑and‑a‑half‑year touring hiatus.
Why it matters: Fans get a fresh, album‑centric live experience, while the omission of classic hits may disappoint longtime listeners, and Grande’s potential touring hiatus could affect future ticket revenue.
