Another insider told Page Six: "Ariana is feeling really happy and focused on the next chapter with her Eternal Sunshine tour and the upcoming release of her album, Petal."
Ariana Grande's Close Friends And Family Are 'Concerned' For Her Health
The emotional moment comes following a recent Daily Mail report claiming that people close to the Focker-In-Law actress have concerns about her health and workload. According to the publication, anonymous family members said they had "concern" for the singer, and were "keeping an eye on things."
"For Ariana, the last few years have been incredibly demanding and there has been very little downtime," the source reportedly said, adding: "The concern from people close to her is that she's spent so much time taking care of everyone else that she hasn't given herself the opportunity to slow down and recharge."
The Daily Mail previously reported that some of Grande's loved ones feared she was "not in a healthy place" while promoting Wicked, with a family source claiming she was "struggling" during the demanding press tour.
Although the Eternal Sunshine Tour is more scaled back than her Sweetener World Tour, which featured 101 shows, her loved ones reportedly fear that she may have "taken on too much" by returning to the road.
"People who know her well and care deeply are anxious that she might have taken on too much," a second source told the Daily Mail. "The fact that she's been involved with almost every aspect of the tour is a heavy task in itself. She's a total perfectionist and everything has to go right, night after night."
The source continued: "That's a huge ordeal she's putting herself through for three months. The fact the tour could take its toll on her is definitely stressful."
