Ariana Grande has withdrawn from a role in the next season of American Horror Story because the show’s revised production schedule clashes with her ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour. The change matters because she had been announced as part of a high-profile cast for the anthology’s 13th season, and her exit reflects the competing demands of her music and acting careers.

According to the report, Grande had not yet filmed any scenes before stepping away. Her tour, her first since 2019, started last month in North America and will continue with a 10-night residency at London’s O2 next month and into September. She had been due to appear alongside established American Horror Story actors including Emma Roberts, Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Sarah Paulson, while plot details for the new season remain undisclosed. The article also notes that Grande is balancing several other projects, including film and stage roles, and is due to release her new album ‘Petal’ later this month.
