Ariana Grande has been making headlines lately for booking roles in film and television, which means she has not been performing her music on stage as much as fans would have liked.
The actress and singer is set to embark on a tour in 2026 in support of her album, Eternal Sunshine, and has a message for her fans about her future in music.
“Of course, music will be in my life forever,” she told The New York Times. “I have to say that for my fans who are reading this who are going to have a heart attack.”
The last time Grande toured was in 2019, and since then, she has reflected on her career as a pop star.
“There was something broken about my relationship to pop music that was healed recently through the time away,” she said.
Grande’s time away was spent on filming the Wicked films under the direction of Jon M. Chu, in which she stars as Glinda opposite Cynthia Erivo. The sequel, Wicked: For Good, is set to premiere on November 21.
“I think it got away from me in a way I didn’t expect,” Grande added while tearing up. “There’s a thing that comes along with your dreams coming true that feels dangerous at times.”
Grande started as a child star on Nickelodeon shows and has had to face the scrutiny and pressure of growing up under the public eye.
“Nothing prepares you for what comes with it. Until quite recently, it was really hard for me to navigate and I think it stripped a lot of joy out of this for me,” she said.
Grande recently wrapped filming the new installment of the Meet the Parents film franchise, Focker In-Law. She was also recently confirmed to star in Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story Season 13, which is set to premiere in 2026.
