Oakland: She's back! After a 7-year hiatus from the concert stage, Ariana Grande is back with a bang with her Eternal Sunshine Tour, a tour that fans worldwide have been eagerly anticipating!
According to Thai News Agency, on Saturday night, June 6, 2026, Oakland Arena in Oakland, California, became the starting point of this epic tour, with nearly 20,000 fans witnessing a historic night. From the moment the lights went out, everyone in the arena knew it would be a night they would remember for a long time.
This wasn't just an ordinary concert; the Eternal Sunshine Tour was an emotional journey where Ari took everyone back to rediscover themselves. Let's take a look at 5 amazing moments that made this night legendary!
The first thing fans saw wasn't flashy lights or loud music, but a cinematic video sequence that began with Ariana brushing her teeth, before that seemingly ordinary scene gradually transformed into a massive flood, forcing her to confront her past.
This tour, directed by Ariana Grande in collaboration with her close friend and music video director Christian Breslauer, serves as a psychological exploration of self. Throughout the night, she interacts with her "younger self" to convey the message that while we cannot go back in time to change the past, we can always "reclaim" ourselves.
Tonight's setlist primarily covered songs from the albums Positions and Eternal Sunshine, but what really got the fans screaming was Ari bringing back old hits like "Thank U, Next" and "7 Rings"!
What was so lovely was when she sang about marriage; she even laughed on stage. The atmosphere was filled with fun and self-acceptance, as if telling her fans that every version of Ari - past and present - is valuable and worthy of love.
Anyone who thinks hairstyles are just a matter of personal style needs to think again! During the Eternal Sunshine Tour, Ariana's hair became a "storytelling tool," from her signature high ponytail from the "Yes, And?" era to her glamorous ballet bun. Each style clearly reflected different eras and personalities of hers.
Furthermore, she subtly and charmingly nodded to her role as Glinda from Wicked, confirming that her versatility remains one of her greatest strengths.
One of the most powerful moments occurred on the B-Stage when the thunderous applause and cheers from the fans brought Ariana to tears. She wiped away her tears and sincerely thanked all the fans and staff.
It was during this moment that the grand and spectacular concert felt "human" again, and her performance of "Honeymoon Avenue" afterward further intensified the emotional atmosphere, bringing many to tears.
The night ended with its most spectacular moment. After completing her performance of "Supernatural" on the B-Stage, Ariana was slowly lifted into the air by invisible harnesses. The sight of her floating in mid-air amidst the spotlights perfectly replicated the cover art for her album Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead.
It wasn't just a finale; it was a "vision" brought to life on stage, proving that even the arena ceiling is no limit for Ariana Grande.
The first night of the Eternal Sunshine Tour proved that Ariana Grande isn't just "back," but she's back in the best and most complete version of herself ever.
Throughout the night, she took fans on a journey through every stage of life, from songs that made us laugh to those that made us cry, and moments that showed that she too is still a "human being" learning and growing.
Whether it was the cinematic, avant-garde show design, the storytelling fashion, or the jaw-dropping finale, everything tonight hinted that Ariana Grande is an artist who relentlessly pushes her boundaries.
For fans who haven't seen it yet - the Eternal Sunshine Tour continues its tour in North America and the UK. Don't miss this chance, because this is a concert you'll tell your grandchildren about!
