Ariana Grande: Music Remains Her Lifeline Amidst Wicked Success and Beauty Empire Expansion

Ariana Grande BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ariana Grande has been everywhere in the headlines the past week and, true to form, set the record straight about her future. On July 16th, Ariana addressed fans directly in a candid Instagram post, responding to speculation that she might be abandoning her pop music career while focusing on acting and other ventures. She called the rumors “very silly” and insisted that music remains her lifeline, promising, with clear excitement, “I’m working on a plan to sing for you all next year—even if it’s just for a little.” Despite her packed schedule, Ariana made it clear there’s no intention to leave music behind and that she’s simply finding her own balance between film, music, and business. This reassurance came after her whirlwind year promoting *Wicked*, in which she plays Glinda, and the recent confirmation that she’ll reprise this role in the sequel *Wicked: For Good*, hitting theaters November 21, 2025, according to multiple media outlets including ABC and iHeartRadio.

Fans hoping for a big world tour in 2025 may be disappointed. Official statements from Ariana herself and Republic Records confirm she will not tour this year, so ignore any circulating ticket rumors. Ariana does tease a smaller-scale tour or select performances in 2026—a shift from her last major *Sweetener* tour back in 2019. The wait could pave the way for more intimate, reimagined live experiences down the line.

On the business front, Ariana continues expanding her R.E.M. Beauty empire, and just today announced the launch of “Plush Vanilla,” the latest chapter in her Lovenotes fragrance collection, which drops exclusively at Sephora on July 31st according to a press release from PRNewswire. This comes on the heels of the well-received *Eternal Sunshine* album in 2024 and its deluxe edition *Brighter Days Ahead* from March, which both reaffirmed her status atop the charts.

Ariana’s social media presence has been even more direct and energetic: she shared behind-the-scenes moments from the recording studio with Josh Gad, confirming their collaboration on the animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss's *Oh, the Places You'll Go!* and letting fans in on her creative process. In press and on Instagram, she consistently reaffirms her love of music, her gratitude, and her desire to keep evolving—even as her focus broadens to film, beauty, and business. In short, Ariana Grande is not slowing down; she’s just rewriting what it means to be unstoppable.
