Ariana Grande: Balancing Music, Acting, and Authenticity in 2025

Ariana Grande BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ariana Grande has been right at the center of both headline news and feverish online chatter over the past few days, but let’s cut through the rumors for the facts. In a week swirling with speculation that she might be quitting music—a story that lit up Twitter and TikTok after some fan misinterpretations—Grande has set the record straight. Speaking via Instagram on July 16 and echoed by outlets like Good Morning America, she firmly denied any plans to leave her music career behind, calling it her “lifeline” and promising fans that there will “need to be room made for all of it.” Grande reassured everyone that, despite a packed acting slate, “it may not look exactly like it did before but I much prefer how it looks in my head. I am having fun. I feel grateful and excited and inspired. Finding a balance, between many projects and endeavors I love, and doing it my own way.” She teased that she’s working on a plan to sing for fans next year—even if it’s “just for a little”—and closed with a heartfelt “I love you.”

On the acting front, Grande’s calendar is indeed brimming. Earlier this week, she revealed she’ll star alongside Josh Gad in Wicked director Jon M. Chu’s upcoming animated adaptation of “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” She’s also reprising her critically acclaimed turn as Glinda in this November’s “Wicked: For Good,” following her star-making run in the first “Wicked” film. Industry coverage from Variety and Billboard confirms her renewed focus on acting, with Grande herself telling Variety that acting is “feeling like home right now.” She emphasized that while she’s grateful for music, fans shouldn’t expect a tour in 2025, as she’ll be exploring more roles and different art forms for the next few years.

Meanwhile, Grande’s last album “Eternal Sunshine”—which topped the Billboard 200 in March 2024—continues to be a chart force, alongside its deluxe edition “Brighter Days Ahead.” Although she hasn’t toured since 2019’s Sweetener World Tour, hints at selective performances in 2025 have fans buzzing, and according to her label, there are no concrete tour plans but “deep appreciation” for her supporters remains.

Social media has thrummed with support and relief after her clarifications. Clips of her recent Met Gala performance of “Into You” circulated widely, and her candid posts drew praise for their balance of ambition and authenticity. Online culture writers like E! News and Popstar note how her candidness cut through the noise and underscored her continued influence.

In summary: rumors of Ariana Grande quitting music are patently false. She’s doubling down on acting projects, musical theatre, and plans to return to the stage on her own terms. With “Wicked: For Good” and “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” slated for release and her persistent reassurance that music is forever her artistic anchor, Grande is proving she’s more than capable of juggling superstardom in every sense.
