Ariana Grande performed the song “yes, and?” during the opening night of her Eternal Sunshine tour in Oakland, California [1, 3].
The event marks a significant return to live performance for the artist, who has not headlined a concert since 2019 [3]. This tour serves as the primary promotional vehicle for her new album, "Eternal Sunshine," and provides a platform to tease the upcoming tracklist [2, 1].
During the show, Grande addressed the crowd to express her gratitude for their support. "I love you all more than words can ever possibly say. And I missed you," Grande said [3].
The performance of “yes, and?” comes amid strong commercial momentum for the track. The song reached No. 1 on the charts [2].
Reviewers have praised the production of the opening night. One concert reviewer said, "Ariana Grande makes her audience wish ‘Sunshine’ really was eternal" [1]. The Oakland show sets the stage for the remainder of the tour as she continues to roll out content from the new album cycle [2].
“"I love you all more than words can ever possibly say. And I missed you,"”
This tour represents Grande's first major headlining effort in several years, signaling a strategic pivot back to large-scale live engagement to support her latest studio project. By launching in Oakland with a chart-topping single, she is leveraging immediate commercial success to rebuild her live touring presence.
