She captioned the photo dump in her signature all lowercase writing, "the work (dream) part of my year is officially done. i’m grateful beyond words for the places i’ve been lucky enough to exist in this year, familiar and new. the friends, the journey, the music, the support, and the life behind it all to make it make sense. thank you, thank you, thank you."

Many fans reacted to the post, including one who wrote, "Rest up, 2025 will be sooooo fun." Another fan commented, "Good pictures and videos." One more fan said, "I feel I was just crying for the first time and now you’ve come all this way it’s so beautiful."
