Passive tour cancelation
Just a shower thought:
I've seen multiple comments that Ariana is trying to commit passive suicide, but I disagree. I think the current state of her ES is an attempt -- consciously or unconsciously -- to get out of this tour. Nothing will ever convince me that she wanted to do another tour, and it seems pretty clear that her crooked management team contractually obligated her. (And for that, I do feel sorry for her.) She probably figured if she gets sick enough, maybe even passes out or is hospitalized, that they'll be forced to cancel. Her ED was already bad, so it would have been easy to just ... lean into it. It might have surprised even her that the tour has gone forward. It could be an attempt at gaining her mom's care and mothering, too, but clearly that isn't happening.
Again, whether all this is being done consciously or subconsciously, who knows. But to me, it makes a lot of sense.
