Ariana Grande BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ariana Grande has spent the past week commanding major headlines with both her creative ventures and her trademark candor in public communications. In the middle of swirling rumors that she was stepping away from music, Ariana took to Instagram to reassure fans that she would never abandon her first love. She posted that music had always been her lifeline, hinting at plans for live performances next year, even if that means reimagining what it looks like, and expressing deep gratitude and excitement for her multidimensional career. According to AOL, these statements were a direct response to panicked speculation after she unveiled two big acting projects—joining Josh Gad in Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of Oh, the Places You’ll Go and reprising her celebrated role as Glinda in the Wicked: For Good sequel, set for release later this year.

Despite a surge of Google searches and online chatter about a possible tour—Instagram data notes searches for Ariana Grande tour jumped by 3600 percent—her record label, Republic Records, clarified on Twitter that there are no tour plans for 2025. Variety also published an interview where Ariana articulated her current focus on acting, saying she is grateful music will always be part of her identity, but acting feels like home right now, at least for a while. Nevertheless, her post on Instagram made clear she’s working on a plan for fans to hear her sing, if only for a little.

Her social calendar was selective but meaningful: she notably skipped the 2025 Met Gala. According to AOL, Ariana has only attended the Met Gala twice and was absent this year due to her filming obligations and a desire to prioritize new creative pursuits.

In acts of kindness that captured hearts online, Ariana sent care packages and an emotional video message to nine-year-old social media influencer Brielle Bird, who is battling stage 4 cancer. As reported by Parade, the gifts included plushies and Wicked memorabilia, with Ariana offering heartfelt words of encouragement and support for Brie's courage.

Grande also engaged fans on Instagram with new behind-the-scenes photos from Wicked: For Good alongside Cynthia Erivo, and a celebratory post marking 100 days until the film’s release. On the business side, she is prepping two new fragrances themed around Wicked: For Good, which are generating significant anticipation on social media according to updates from Twitter and Instagram.

Looking ahead, Ariana is scheduled for a major television appearance this August 20th on The Drew Barrymore Show to discuss her latest projects. Hollywood Reporter also confirmed her casting in the next Meet the Parents film, Focker In-Law, where she will play a feisty new addition to the chaotic Focker family.

Overall, Ariana Grande has spent the week skillfully balancing high-profile creative pursuits, candid communication with her fanbase, and intentional acts of kindness—with every move sparking both excitement and speculation about what she will conquer next.
