In a statement to Variety, a representative for Grande reinforced her message, claiming that music will always be a focus. 'Ariana's plate is definitely full right now, but she's genuinely enjoying this chapter,' says the rep. 'She's loving the opportunity to dive deeper into acting, and she remains incredibly hands-on with her various businesses. That said, Ariana has always been and continues to be a musician first. The goal is to find a rhythm where all of these creative outlets can coexist, and she's very much in the process of building that balance out.' Grande is currently building on the success of 'Wicked' with the upcoming release of 'Wicked: For Good,' set to hit theaters on November 21. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Ariana Grande teases 2025 tour plans, calling music her ‘lifeline' despite busy acting schedule
Ariana Grande has directly addressed speculation about her music career, dismissing claims that she's stepping away from singing. In a candid message shared on social media, the pop star called such assumptions 'very silly' and assured fans that music remains central to her life. '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,' Grande stated. Although she's currently immersed in acting — with major roles in the 'Wicked' films and the animated adaptation of 'Oh, the Places You'll Go' — Grande confirmed she's working on a plan to 'sing for you all next year. Even if it's just for a little.' Grande's last full-length project, Eternal Sunshine, dropped last year, followed by the Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead edition in March, which featured six new tracks. While she didn't tour in support of the album, her online activity hints at possible smaller live performances. Her next big screen appearance will be Wicked: For Good, arriving in cinemas November 21.
