Grande appears to be teasing a new album ahead of her Eternal Sunshine tour this summer. Recent posts show her in the studio, suggesting new music is on the way.

"'The Life of a Showgirl' was really inspired by the energy that I felt like looking into crowds and seeing you guys every single night. This album probably also feels very happy and confident and free because that's the way that I get to feel every single day of my life because of my fiancé, who's here tonight."

The reason it's a hidden market is because there is excess demand given the price that is being charged. When the price of something scarce—concert tickets, Saturday night tables, theme park rides—is set far below what the market would naturally bear, the scarcity doesn't disappear.

Selling out a venue such as London's O2 Arena used to be considered a high point of an artist's career. Now, selling out just one night there might seem a bit underwhelming. Raye and Olivia Dean will play six nights apiece at the 20,000-capacity hall this year; Dave is playing four, Ariana Grande is playing a whopping 10. Harry Styles, never one to be outdone, last month announced a staggering 30 dates at New York's Madison Square Garden,

The North American run follows Gaga's previous "Mayhem Ball" outing, which ran in the US and Canada in the summer and fall of 2025 and continued through Europe, Asia, and Australia. The trek, which we deemed as one of the most anticipated tours of 2026, sees Gaga bringing the dark world of her 2025 LP to life with cinematic movements, dazzling costumes and set pieces, and a gothic aesthetic centered around duality.
