Ariana Grande reassures fans: music is still her "Lifeline" amidst new film projects

Pop superstar Ariana Grande has put fans' minds at ease, confirming she has no plans to abandon her music career despite taking on more film roles reports the BBC. The announcement comes shortly after the "Positions" singer revealed her casting in the film adaptation of Dr. Seuss's Oh, The Places You'll Go!, following her highly anticipated appearance alongside Cynthia Erivo in Wicked.

Taking to social media, Grande directly addressed concerns that her growing acting resume might signal a departure from her musical roots. "Singing and music is and has always been my lifeline," she asserted, emphasizing that "There will need to be room made for all of it." This statement clarifies her intent to pursue both passions simultaneously, rather than prioritizing one over the other.

Fans of the Grammy-nominated artist have been eagerly awaiting the chance to experience her latest studio album, Eternal Sunshine, live. While she hasn't toured since her "Sweetener World Tour" in 2019, Grande offered a glimmer of hope for live performances, teasing, "I'm working on a plan to sing for you all next year. Even if it's just for a little." This hint of a potential return to the stage has ignited excitement among her dedicated fanbase.

Grande acknowledged that balancing her various ventures, which also include a successful make-up business, means her music career "may not look exactly like it did before but I much prefer how it looks in my head." She expressed gratitude and excitement for this new chapter, stating, "I feel grateful and excited and inspired. Finding a balance between many projects and endeavours I love and doing it my own way."

While some fans have voiced concerns online about her focus shifting, others, like super fan Michael Rodrigues De Jesus, embrace the broader display of her talent. "As a fan it's exciting to see an artist you like doing a lot of things. You get to experience their talent in a lot more ways," he shared, highlighting the multifaceted nature of Grande's evolving career.
