Ariana Grande has announced that she has a new album coming soon. The record-breaking pop star had stayed largely quiet about her sixth studio album until Wednesday; when she revealed in a tweet that she plans to drop it in October.
Earlier this year, the singer shared in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that she set up a home studio; but asked fans to not expect any new music too soon. Grande explained, “I don’t really feel comfortable putting anything out right now. Because it’s just like other than this, it’s a really tricky time for all of that.”
Ariana Grande released her fifth studio album, thank u, next, in February 2019. Later that year, she shared the live record k bye for now (swt live); featuring recordings from her tour in support of Sweetener.
This year, Grande collaborated with Lady Gaga on Rain on Me and Justin Bieber on Stuck with U. Fans had previously suspected her sixth album was nearing completion. They began circulating the hashtag #AG6isComing as new details continued to emerge.
Later on Wednesday, Netflix announced additional cast members for the upcoming comedy, Don’t Look Up, and Grande was included.
Billboard reports that filming will begin in November, and Grande is slated to make a cameo in the movie that already features Jennifer Lawerence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, and Timothée Chalamet.
