Ariana Grande, the acclaimed pop star known for her powerful vocals and emotive performances, has clarified her dedication to music even as she embarks on new film projects. Following her role in the film adaptation of Wicked alongside Cynthia Erivo, Grande confirmed that she will also star in a cinematic version of Dr. Seuss's Oh, The Places You'll Go, prompting speculation about her music career's future.
In a heartfelt message shared with her fans, Grande reassured them that her growing presence in film does not signal a retreat from her musical roots. "Singing and music is and has always been my lifeline," she stated, underscoring her commitment to balancing both pursuits. "There will need to be room made for all of it," she affirmed, hinting at a harmonious coexistence between her acting and music careers.
Grande's latest album, Eternal Sunshine, netted her three Grammy nominations but hasn't seen her performing on stage since the Sweetener World Tour concluded in 2019. In a tweet, she expressed her eagerness to reconnect with fans through live performances, stating, "I'm working on a plan to sing for you all next year. Even if it's just for a little."
The artist also mentioned her beauty line, reflecting on the challenges of juggling multiple talents. Though she acknowledged that her music career may not mirror the previous intensity, she prefers this new direction, feeling "grateful and excited and inspired."
Fan reactions have been mixed; while many celebrated her diverse endeavors, some expressed concerns about a perceived shift in her focus from music. Super fan Michael Rodrigues De Jesus shared his excitement about the potential for a future tour, despite worries that it might be limited in scope. "It's exciting to see an artist you like doing a lot of things," he noted, emphasizing the thrill of experiencing Grande's talents in new forms.
As Grande navigates her multifaceted career, she remains a dynamic figure in the entertainment landscape, promising fans that her music is far from forgotten as she ventures onward in both music and film.
