Ariana Grande: Balancing Stardom, Wicked Sequel, and a Hint at 2026 Intimate Tour

Ariana Grande BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ariana Grande has been lighting up both the entertainment headlines and social media feeds in the past few days with a wave of updates that matter to fans and biographers alike. According to Variety, Ariana stated directly this week that she will not be touring in 2025, making clear she is prioritizing acting over music promotion right now and describing acting as feeling like “home” at the moment. Republic Records backed her up with a firm post on X confirming there are no plans for a tour next year, despite online rumors and fake Ticketmaster listings swirling among her fanbase. Instead, Ariana told interviewers and fans that while music remains her “lifeline,” she wants to creatively balance both passions. She has hinted that a small-scale, more intimate mini tour is being envisioned for 2026, not 2025—a plan that’s early but definitely on her and her team’s radar according to recent posts on Instagram and interviews in outlets like the Shut Up Evan podcast and People.

Her focus for now is squarely on Hollywood. Ariana wrapped filming for the “Wicked” musical adaptations, where she stars as Glinda, with the first film released last fall and the highly anticipated sequel set for theaters in late November 2025. She’s also committed to other big projects, including the animated film adaptation of Dr. Seuss' Oh, the Places You’ll Go! and a new ensemble comedy, Meet the Parents 4, alongside Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller—a fact highlighted in international entertainment blogs and the Zalora blog this week.

On social media, she made headlines for joining Weverse, deepening her direct interaction with fans, as noted by thegranderoom Instagram fan page. Her Instagram stories from this week show her, apparently together with her crew, working on set for an as-yet-undisclosed project—no further details so far, so this is one to watch for future news. Ariana also drew attention by reacting to a viral Instagram post referencing Carrie Underwood’s inauguration performance, subtly weighing in with a like and drawing coverage from People.

Meanwhile, her 2016 smash “Side To Side” earned a new milestone, being certified triple platinum in the UK, which her fan pages gleefully celebrated online. In music news, The Kid LAROI nominated Ariana as his dream collaboration partner in an interview Friday, sending fans into a speculation frenzy, but as of yet there’s no official collaboration in the works.

In summary, these past days have seen Ariana Grande at the intersection of major film roles and enduring musical relevance, punctuated by strong statements halting rumors of a 2025 tour and clues to a perhaps game-changing 2026 return to the stage.
