Music superstar Ariana Grande dazzled viewers on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live (SNL) with performances of two new songs from her just-released album “Eternal Sunshine”. The petite hit-maker’s mother Joan introduced Grande’s first song “Imperfect For You” in a stage completely covered by grass and surrounded by a backdrop of a wheat field. The “Eternal Sunshine” ballad ended with fireflies dancing in the background.
For her second song “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love),” Grande took to the stage in what appeared to be the living room of a house. The SNL performance featured a snippet of the song’s music video which stars Evan Peters, along with spectacular nature-inspired visuals.
In NME’s four-star review of Grande’s album, writer Nick Levine called it “the most sophisticated project yet from a preternaturally talented vocalist who keeps getting better. Whatever you take away from it, ‘Eternal Sunshine’ definitely isn’t an album you’ll want to wipe from memory.”
Grande has previously expressed interest in touring “Eternal Sunshine” but also noted that plans are currently “TBD”. In other news, Grande recently had to ask fans to stop sending hate to people they believe “Eternal Sunshine” is about.
The artist told fans that they are “absolutely doing the polar opposite of what I would ever encourage (and is also entirely misinterpreting the intention behind the music).” She also added that while the album is about her “painful moments,” it is “also woven together with a through line of deep, sincere love.”
Grande has become well-known as a popular cultural icon and her fans will no doubt be eagerly watching for news of future tours or Swift-like dramatic breakups. As her musical career has progressed, her considerable voice and undeniable talent have continued to thrill adoring crowds worldwide
