Ariana Grande has described her Eternal Sunshine Tour as a "corrective experience," saying she is more present and emotionally engaged than she was on her previous outing. Speaking to Broadway performer Jessica Vosk on the Vosk in the City interview series, Grande reflected on how her mindset has shifted since her last tour, framing the current run as a more grounded and fulfilling chapter both onstage and in her connection with fans.

Grande discussed the theatrical "ascent" during the song "Supernatural," in which she is lifted above the stage, describing the sensation as "fun," "nice" and "wonderful," and explaining how she immerses herself emotionally to make the illusion feel real. She also praised her fans as part of what makes the tour special, and joked that, unlike before, she now wears contact lenses onstage and can actually see the audience. The interview took place during a tour stop at Barclays Center in New York, with the trek continuing to support her Eternal Sunshine era alongside her new album Petal, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
