Ariana Grande Exits AHS Season 13 Over Tour Clash

Ariana Grande has officially exited the cast of American Horror Story Season 13 due to a scheduling conflict. Her role in the upcoming season has been canceled because of her extensive Eternal Sunshine Tour. The singer was initially announced as part of the cast on Halloween 2025, but a recent teaser for the season, subtitled 13, omitted her presence. Reports indicate that changes to the show's production schedule directly interfered with her established tour dates.

Grande did not film any scenes for American Horror Story Season 13. This situation arose as her Eternal Sunshine Tour, which launched on June 6, 2026, in Oakland, overlapped with the show's production beginning in April 2026. The tour has seen some rescheduling, with multiple dates adjusted due to production issues on her end. The tour is set to continue through various cities before concluding overseas. The season's cast will proceed with returning members like Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, and is scheduled to premiere on September 24, 2026, on FX.
