Pop superstar Ariana Grande has addressed recent rumors about her next album, making it clear that fans shouldn’t expect new music anytime soon. The singer and actress spoke to Variety about her ongoing projects, including the Wicked: For Good film franchise and her upcoming Eternal Sunshine Tour, before later clarifying her comments on Instagram.
No New Music Before Her Tour
Grande’s Variety interview confirmed that her next album is not expected before her tour kicks off in June 2026.
“No — definitely not. Nothing is coming before May,” Grande said, emphasizing that her current schedule is packed with film and tour commitments.
She added a humorous reflection about her workload:
“I love them so much, but sometimes I want to ask, ‘Do you think there’s another version of me out there who had time to write an album?’ Not yet — but soon enough.”
However, she later clarified these statements to fans, addressing misinformation from the article.
Ariana Grande Clarifies on Instagram
After the interview, Grande commented on a fan account’s Instagram post to set the record straight:
“welp i never said ‘but soon enough’ or mentioned any months! lol my goooooodness,” she wrote.
“all i said was ‘no’ and ‘do they think there’s a clone of me out there somewhere’! there must’ve been a zoom glitch or something. but hello & love you all.”
Grande also jokingly noted the impossibility of managing all her current commitments:
“ma’am i would need an extra brain and four more arms.”
These comments highlight the singer’s busy schedule while reassuring fans that she remains engaged with her music career, even if a new album isn’t imminent.
Current Projects Keeping Her Busy
Since releasing Eternal Sunshine in March 2024 and its deluxe edition a year later, Grande has been focused on multiple projects beyond music. These include:
- Starring in Wicked: For Good, which hit theaters in November 2025.
- Touring with the Eternal Sunshine Tour, starting June 2026.
- Appearing in the upcoming film Focker In-Law, set for release in November 2026.
- Joining Season 13 of American Horror Story.
- Lending her voice to the animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ Oh, the Places You’ll Go! alongside Josh Gad.
Grande also teased a mysterious project she described as something that “inspires me deeply” and “contains multitudes,” though she could not reveal details at this time.
Fans Can Expect Patience
While Grande fans may be eager for new music, it’s clear that the singer is balancing multiple high-profile commitments, making it unlikely that an album will drop before mid-2026. Her Instagram clarifications emphasize her humor and humility while giving fans insight into just how full her plate currently is.
“I can’t say much yet, but it’s something that inspires me deeply. I promise I’ll DM you the day it’s announced,” Grande teased.
Conclusion
Ariana Grande’s statements reaffirm that new music is not on the immediate horizon, as she juggles touring, acting, and voice work. Despite delays, her fans can look forward to a variety of entertainment projects in 2026, from movies to live performances, all while keeping an eye out for her next musical release.
