## A dozen photos, one confession
On Sept. 12, Grande posted a run of photos wrapping her Eternal Sunshine Tour. Buried in the carousel was the story of how her last night actually ended.
## Trapped after the last show
A black-and-white shot shows Grande and team member CJ Robinson trying to force the elevator doors open, minutes after walking off stage.

## Ten nights at the O2
The tour opened June 6 in Oakland, ran through Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago and Montreal, then finished with 10 shows at London's O2 Arena on Sept. 1.
## Stepping back from the noise
In early August she announced a pause on public engagements over ongoing scrutiny, and dropped out of the West End revival of Sunday in the Park With George.
## The music keeps winning
Her eighth album, petal, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in July. In early September she surprise-released a full live version of it.
## Key takeaway

The Eternal Sunshine Tour is done, and Grande is stepping back from the spotlight even as her music keeps hitting No. 1.
