Yeah there seems to obviously be something going on with this, the way the Barbican hasn’t said anything or updated people on this, when it was supposed to go on sale last month. I feel bad for the staff there if she pulls out or even postpones a year, having to deal with the (I’m assuming) thousands of people who spent good money on a one year membership, to have access to this. 

I kinda had a feeling this is what was happening.

It'll be a cakewalk without her.

Unless they line up Sabrina Carpenter in her place (if she’s not too busy with 42nd Street [/sarcasm]), anyone they’d get to replace her would make it an easier ticket.

There’s also a world where she’s still going to do it, and they just want to hold off on selling actual tickets until she’s through the thick of whatever’s happening with her — physically and/or mentally. It’s not like it’s happening in a few months.

Not sure that's true. It actually gives more flexibility for things to shift in the in between without it requiring massive refunds, exchanges, etc. It's a much worse look for a production to have to cancel performances than say the production overall had to shift by 6 months or whatever. That said, those who paid just for guaranteed access, that's a big headache they could have saved themselves.

Same I have no idea. Hope all is well, though. She is such a talent.

She has addressed her weight loss and seems to be healthy. Fans, I guess, don't believe her.

She's not alarmingly thin. Are you an MD to discuss her body and decide what's alarming and what's not? Stop judging people's bodies. Plenty of thin people who are very healthy and don't require anyones unsolicited health and appearance advice. Same applies to people with bigger bodies. 

If you actually watched videos of the tour, you would see that she is singing her face off, dancing very well, serving looks in heels that would terrify most people, and genuinely having a fun time doing something she hasn’t done in seven years. Her stage presence & vocal acrobatics have never been better or more controlled. 

For what it’s worth, I was in the same room with her a couple times in 2024. She’s built tiny. I’m short for a guy and I was still looking down while talking to her. She may have lower body fat now, but she has always been naturally thin and smaller overall than you’re assuming. 

What a strange, strange thing to be discussing online. 

I must live in an alternative universe, the one where it is perfect acceptable—and some would say preferable—for fans to not "speak out" about the body of a celebrity because no real relationship between the parties involved actually exists.  That commentary can easily come from family and friends.
