Ariana Grande Surprise Drops ‘Eternal Sunshine’ Deluxe Featuring 7 Live Performances & Videos

The sun will shine on Ariana Grande fans throughout this next week. The pop star just surprise dropped another deluxe edition of her seventh album, Eternal Sunshine, Tuesday (Oct. 1), featuring new live performances of seven tracks — videos of which will go up on her YouTube channel over the next seven days. 

Dubbed Eternal Sunshine (Slightly Deluxe and Also Live), the revamped LP features all 13 of the original tracks on Grande’s Billboard 200-topping album, plus her previously released remixes with Mariah Carey (“Yes, And?”), Troye Sivan (“Supernatural”) and Brandy and Monica (“The Boy Is Mine”), as well as the acoustic version of “Imperfect for You.” The new material includes live versions of album opener “Intro (End of the World),” “Don’t Wanna Break Up Again,” “Eternal Sunshine,” “Supernatural” and “Imperfect for You,” along with Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).” 

“wanted to surprise you all with one more Eternal Sunshine related something before i head back into my bubble and meet you over the rainbow next month…,” Grande wrote of the release on Instagram, referencing the upcoming premiere of Wicked in late November. “so i performed seven songs (from ag7) with this wonderful group of musicians.” 

The Grammy winner also shared the first video of her performing one of the new live versions — “Intro (End of the World)” — and revealed that the remaining six videos will go up one at a time each day through Oct. 7. “Peaches says thank you for all of your love and that she cannot wait to see you again later,” she added, referring to her Eternal Sunshine alter ego. 

In the first video, Grande stands in a dimly lit studio in the center of a group of string players, a guitarist and drummer. Wearing a cream tulle dress and sparkly decals on her eyes, the Victorious alum adds new vocal runs and fresh emotion to the anxiety-ridden track, which begins with her asking the crucial question: “How can I tell if I’m in the right relationship?” 

The project comes seven months after the March 8 release of Eternal Sunshine, which spent two weeks at No. 1. Grande has previously treated fans to similar live-performance videos, including the series she dropped in August 2023 to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of her debut album, Yours Truly, and her dreamy Vevo collection of Positions performances.
