Ariana Grande has sparked excitement among fans with a cryptic teaser hinting at a big announcement for next year.
The Eternal Sunshine singer shared a clip on Instagram — in a joint post with her Brighter Days account — showing a screen with the message, “corrupt file found and corrected.” The filename displayed was “08.06 // est_26.” Moments later, the screen jumped to another message: “See you next year… Announcement loading…”
While details remain under wraps, the post strongly suggests a music-related reveal. It comes shortly after the Ariana Grande reassured fans that she has no plans to step away from her music career.
“Very silly of you all to assume that just because I have my hands full with many things that I plan to abandon singing and music! It is and has always been my lifeline. There will need to be room made for all of it,” Grande wrote previously.
Ariana Grande has enjoyed a whirlwind year following the release of Eternal Sunshine in 2024 and its deluxe edition, which topped the Billboard 200 chart. She also earned her first Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Glinda in the film adaptation of the hit stage musical Wicked.
The sequel, Wicked: For Good, is scheduled to premiere later this year. Speaking on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast in January, the singer-actress reflected on her busy schedule, admitting, “I’m out there so much right now. I want to let my children miss me for two seconds.”
