Ariana Grande sings about her love of Hampstead on the new deluxe edition of eternal sunshine - and now fans have been visiting the pub they think she’s singing about.
On the new track, she says she ‘left [her] heart at a pub in Hampstead’, after she spent time in north London while filming Wicked.
Eagle-eyed followers of the star on social media noticed that she follows pub The Holly Bush on Instagram, and they have now been filming their trips to the pub and sharing them on TikTok.
A source told The Sun that Grande’s love of the pub has meant profits at the pub have shot up.
“The pub has never been busier,” a source told the paper. “Staff have no issue chatting to fans. But they are keeping the details of Ari’s trips to a minimum.
“She used to visit the pub with [ex-husband] Dalton then with [current boyfriend] Ethan [Slater]. She was often seen in the private side room with her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo.”
Previously speaking to Radio 1, Ariana revealed that she found Hampstead “fun” and “delightful” and that she loved exploring the area.
“I was in Hampstead when I was here, and I loved my walks on the Heath,” she said. “I loved meandering around and visiting different shops and places and pubs.”
She also said it was the place where she discovered her love of Sunday roasts, saying she is now “changed for the better”.
Ariana, who owns nine dogs, also said she loved seeing pets in the park.
“It’s so delightful and fun, and there are so many dogs and Vizslas in the heath,” she said. “There were so many Vizslas in Hampstead Heath. I loved seeing them.”
It comes as following her time shooting Wicked, Ariana revealed that she doesn’t plan to tour her eternal sunshine album.
“I have no plans for live shows at the moment, I was thinking about doing a mini-tour in between the Wicked films, but that is no longer happening,” she told the Variety Awards Circuit podcast.
Grande added: “I know that I would like to have this chapter be focused on acting. I would like to stay right here, and I would love to do more films.”
