Ariana Grande Reacts to “Very Silly” Claim About Her Music Career

Ariana Grande can’t imagine a world where she’s not creating music. 

And according to her, that reality won’t happen anytime soon. As the Positions singer continues to focus on her acting roles, she addressed rumors that she’s planning to step away from music.

“Very silly of you all to assume that just because I have my hands full with many things, that I plan to abandon singing & music,” Ariana, 31, wrote on her July 16 Instagram post, which sees a video of her performing at the 2024 Met Gala. “It is and has always been my lifeline. There will need to be room made for all of it.” 

Indeed, the Wicked star noted her music career “may not look exactly like it did before,” which seems to be a nod to her cohesive discography. And while her fans have grown accustomed to her schedule of releasing a new album every two years—as she has done since 2016’s Dangerous Woman—Ariana is now “having fun” being creative on her own timing.
