View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ariana Grande (@arianagrande) The likely music-related announcement comes shortly after the Wicked star assured fans she wasn't leaving music behind despite her flourishing acting career. "Very silly of you all to assume that just because I have my hands full with many things that I plan to abandon singing & music ... !!! It is and has always been my lifeline. There will need to be room made for all of it," the "yes, and?" singer said in the caption of that post, adding a fairy emoji at the end of the sentence.

"I love you."

As for acting, she'll next star opposite Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro in the fourth Meet the Parents film. Hailing from Universal, the movie is set to release in theaters on Nov. 25, 2026.
