Read moreAriana Grande has addressed recent rumors suggesting that she was planning to leave the music industry, calling the speculation "very silly" and reinforcing her commitment to her craft. In a candid interview, the pop star clarified that she has no intentions of abandoning her music career, despite the buzz that has been circulating online in recent weeks.
Rumors about Grande’s departure from music began to spread after reports hinted that she might focus solely on acting and other endeavors. However, Grande, who has consistently been one of the top-selling artists of the 2010s and 2020s, took to social media to shut down these claims.
"It's very silly that people think I would just give up music, especially after everything I've worked for," she said in a recent interview. "I love what I do. Music is at the heart of who I am. It’s just a bit ridiculous to even think I’d walk away from something that means so much to me."
Grande’s comments come in the wake of her highly successful roles in film and television, particularly her portrayal of Glinda in the upcoming Wicked film adaptation. Her acting career has taken off, but she made it clear that her passion for music hasn’t wavered, and she remains fully committed to her upcoming projects.
Grande’s statement reinforces her deep dedication to her fans and music. Despite her busy schedule, she emphasized that music continues to play a major role in her life. In fact, she revealed that she is already working on new material for an upcoming album, although she didn’t provide any details about the release date.
"The rumors may have gotten loud for a while, but I want my fans to know that music will always be my first love," Grande added. "I’m still working on new music, and I can’t wait for you all to hear what’s coming."
While Grande’s acting career has garnered significant attention, the pop star remains one of the most successful and influential musicians of her generation. Her 2019 album Thank U, Next was met with critical acclaim, and she has continued to rack up chart-topping hits, solidifying her place in pop culture.
Looking ahead, Grande is expected to balance her work in both film and music, continuing to expand her creative horizons. Fans can likely expect new music from the artist, as she made it clear that music will always be her priority despite other ventures.
Ariana Grande’s response to the rumors puts any speculation to rest, reaffirming her love for music and the lasting bond she shares with her fans. The pop superstar remains dedicated to her craft, and as she continues to diversify her career, fans can look forward to both her musical and acting projects in the future. Despite the distractions, Grande’s passion for performing and creating remains as strong as ever, and she shows no signs of slowing down.
