At the prestigious Tony Awards on 7 June 2026, actor Frankie Grande shared his enthusiasm for his sister, pop sensation Ariana Grande, as she embarked on her much-anticipated ‘Eternal Sunshine Tour’. Having been nominated for his role in the Broadway production *Titaníque*, Frankie took a moment to highlight his sibling’s achievements, calling her “the greatest artist of our generation”.
Ariana’s tour, marking her first live shows since 2019, began in Oakland, California, on 6 June. Frankie spoke passionately about his sister’s performance style, exclaiming, “I saw the clips of her on social media… She’s flying. She’s looping. She’s belting.” His admiration was particularly evident as he described the visual elements of the show, mentioning Ariana’s signature ponytail and striking heels.
Having purposely avoided spoilers for the performance, Frankie confessed that his excitement got the better of him. He planned to attend the show two weeks after its opening but couldn’t resist peeking at clips online. His enthusiasm for Ariana’s artistry was palpable as he exclaimed, “It’s too much. It’s all too much.”
Reflecting on their personal bond, Frankie conveyed his pride in Ariana’s relentless work ethic. He disclosed that he sent her a supportive text, to which she modestly replied, urging him to focus on his own achievements at the awards ceremony. “She really is the best in the world,” he added, acknowledging her ability to share the spotlight.
Following the opening night of her tour, Ariana took to Instagram to express her gratitude to her fans. She shared heartfelt sentiments about her return to the stage, stating, “it feels impossible to find the words at this time… so for now, just thank you. from the bottom of my heart. i love you all more than words can ever possibly say. and i missed you. thank you.”
The tour follows the release of her new single, “Hate That I Made You Love Me”, which is part of her upcoming album *Petal*. Frankie indicated that he has been playing the track on repeat, admitting it had captivated him in a unique way. “This song, the minute I heard it, I was like, ‘Again, again, again,'” he described, praising its depth and emotional resonance.
In attendance at the Tony Awards, Frankie was not the only family member to express pride. Their mother, Joan Grande, also shared her sentiments about her children’s success. She noted the joy of witnessing their dreams materialise, stating, “It’s everything a parent would want… I have two that are doing that, so that’s incredible.”
Joan, who serves as a co-producer for *Titaníque*, attended the opening night of Ariana’s tour and characterized it as “incredible.” Rather than merely a concert, she described the performance as “a multimedia immersive musical masterpiece,” underscoring the unique artistry involved.
At the Tony Awards, *Titaníque* was in the running for four accolades, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and performances by leading actors in the show. This recognition reiterates the Grande family’s dedication to pursuing excellence in the performing arts, as both siblings continue to achieve remarkable milestones in their respective careers.
As Ariana’s tour unfolds and Frankie makes strides on Broadway, the Grande family remains a testament to talent, hard work, and the supportive bonds that drive them forward. With their unwavering dedication and love for one another, both Frankie and Ariana are set to leave an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.
