Ariana Grande has announced her involvement in yet another film venture, but assurances have swiftly followed that her musical journey is far from over. Following her lead role alongside Cynthia Erivo in the highly anticipated 'Wicked,' the songstress behind hits like 'Positions' revealed on Wednesday that she has been cast in the cinematic adaptation of Dr. Seuss' beloved book, 'Oh, The Places You'll Go!' However, amidst the excitement of her acting endeavors, Ariana took to social media to reassuringly inform her fans that embracing more acting roles does not signify an abrupt end to her storied music career. She firmly believes there's ample space for both passions to coexist, stating, "Singing and music are, and have always been, my lifeline. Room must be made for all of it."
Her most recent album, 'Eternal Sunshine,' saw the light of day in 2024, yet fans are still yearning for a live performance to match its magical soundscape. Since wrapping up her 'Sweetener World Tour' in 2019, Ariana has kept her stage presence somewhat dormant, though she subtly hinted at a potential return to the concert circuit soon. "I'm cooking up a plan to serenade you all next year," she posted, adding, "Even if it's just a fleeting moment."
Beyond her music and acting pursuits, Ariana also owns a thriving makeup line, acknowledging that juggling these diverse projects may reshape her musical journey, albeit in ways she finds invigorating. "It may not mirror its former self, but I cherish the vision I hold in my mind," she expressed. "I am filled with gratitude, excitement, and inspiration, finding harmony among the endeavors I adore, all on my own terms."
Michael Rodrigues De Jesus, a die-hard fan, admitted to an internal outburst of joy upon witnessing Ariana's post and the hint of an impending tour. However, he speculated that if a tour does materialize, it might be a scaled-down affair, potentially leaving some fans disheartened. "I've noticed online discourse where people are genuinely upset about her foray into films," shared the 23-year-old from Luton. Michael also observed a division within the fandom, with some disappointed that music isn't her sole focus.
"I shared a bit of that sentiment," he confessed. "Wondering if we'll ever witness another tour, if she's found a permanent home in acting, and what my identity would be without being an avid Ariana music lover." Nevertheless, Michael emphasized that on the whole, "nobody truly misses out." "As a fan, it's thrilling to witness an artist you admire diversify their talents, offering numerous avenues to experience their brilliance," he concluded.
