Ariana Grande has recently announced her casting in the film adaptation of Dr. Seuss's "Oh, The Places You'll Go," further building on her growing filmography after her role in "Wicked." Despite the excitement surrounding her film endeavors, Grande has emphasized her commitment to music, stating on social media that "singing and music is and has always been my lifeline." Her latest album, "Eternal Sunshine," released in 2024, has yet to be performed live, as the artist hasn't been on tour since 2019’s Sweetener World Tour.
In her recent posts, Grande hinted at a potential mini-tour in the upcoming year, expressing her desire to reconnect with fans through live performances. She shared, “I’m working on a plan to sing for you all next year, even if it’s just for a little,” hinting at her continued passion for music alongside other pursuits.
As she expands her creative portfolio—also running a makeup business—Grande reflects on her journey, saying she prefers the new balance of her career activities even if it doesn't mirror her past. "Finding a balance between many projects and endeavors I love and doing it my own way makes me feel grateful and excited," she noted.
The news of her film projects has stirred mixed feelings among fans. Some, like superfan Michael Rodrigues De Jesus, express excitement over Grande’s expanding talents but worry about the implications for her music career. “Are we ever going to get another tour?” he pondered, reflecting feelings shared by many in her fandom. However, he ultimately views her multifaceted career positively: “It’s exciting to see an artist you like doing a lot of things."
As Grande navigates this dynamic phase of her career, she emphasizes that there’s room for both her music and acting, hoping to maintain the balance that brings her joy and inspiration.
