Grande spoke to her fans at the United Center in Chicago on Monday night, saying, "The announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive or impulsive thing." "It is something that I had decided to plan that I had quietly made a long time ago...and it's a decision that was made from a thoughtful and empowered place." "Multiple things can be true at the same time." "Yes, boundaries, they need to be set...Human beings can need a break sometimes."
