Ariana Grande BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ariana Grande has been everywhere this past week, juggling career rumors and unveiling major new projects that have kept her in the headlines. Good Morning America reported that Grande directly addressed speculation she was leaving music, posting on Instagram that the assumption was “very silly.” She reaffirmed that music has always been her lifeline and insisted she would find a way to balance her singing career with her flourishing acting roles. Grande made it clear to her 380 million followers that while her activities may look different, she is “grateful and excited” about everything on her plate and is even planning to perform live for fans next year, though she stopped short of promising a formal tour.

Variety and People covered her interview where she explained why she would not be touring in 2025, saying acting “feels like home right now” as she continues her run as Glinda in the blockbuster Wicked films. Her team and Republic Records shot down rumors sparked by Ticketmaster listings, confirming that no tour is planned for 2025, although Grande admitted she's open to select performances between film shoots but is focused on acting for now.

Grande landed major headlines this week with the news that she and Josh Gad will co-star in Jon M Chu’s animated adaptation of Oh the Places You'll Go, sharing a playful Instagram post hiding behind scripts in the studio. BroadwayWorld and ABC News emphasized her current roster: besides starring in Wicked and its upcoming sequel Wicked For Good, she’s just signed on for Meet the Parents 4 and voiced a leading role in the new Dr. Seuss-inspired film. Notably, her performance as Glinda in the recently released first Wicked film garnered Golden Globe and multiple award nominations.

Music isn't on the back burner: she released Eternal Sunshine Deluxe Brighter Days Edition this month, with new tracks plus her short film Brighter Days Ahead, which she co-directed, adding more fuel to fan excitement. On social media, Popstar Magazine posted her latest image with a glass of red wine, looking relaxed and unfazed by online rumors, while ENews summarized her firm denials of career shifts. Both her Instagram stories and multiple fan accounts re-shared her posts declaring she’s not quitting music now or ever.

There’s unconfirmed buzz about possible live performances in 2026 or a limited set of festival appearances, but nothing official yet. Industry watchers are praising her ability to reinvigorate her public persona, merging pop stardom and A-list film cred—a move almost no other singer of her generation has pulled off at such a scale.
