Ariana Grande has big plans for for the future as she works to find a balance between music and acting.

On Wednesday (July 16), the "We Can't Be Friends" singer shared a video across social media of her singing "Into You," from her 2016 album Dangerous Woman, at the 2024 Met Gala. She also penned a message in the caption hinting at plans for new music and even seemingly teasing in small tour next year.

"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," she wrote.

Indeed, Grande has been busy honing her acting skills with roles in Wicked and its forthcoming sequel Wicked: For Good, out in November, as well as upcoming roles in Meet the Parents 4 and an animated musical adaptation of Dr. Seuss' Oh, the Places You'll Go!, per Billboard.

"it is and has always been my lifeline. there will need to be room made for all of it," she continued. "it may not look exactly like it did before but i much prefer how it looks in my head. i am having fun. i feel grateful and excited and inspired. :) finding a balance, between many projects and endeavors i love, and doing it my own way ... so i'm working on a plan to sing for you all next year. even if it's just for a little. i love you."

Grande's message comes months after she made comments on the Las Culturistas podcast suggesting she wanted to shift her focus toward musical theater following her performance in Wicked.

"I love musical theater, reconnecting with this part of myself who started in musical theater and who loves comedy," she said at the time. "And it heals me to do that, finding roles to use these parts of myself and put them in little homes and characters and bits and voices and songs."

Despite how the move would "scare the absolute s---" out of her fans, she emphasized that she was "always going to make music," just not at the same rate that she has "for the past 10 years.

"Art also is what feeds me — in whatever capacity it is. I'll always be doing and creating six different things at once," she said. "I don't see that going anywhere. I just see it shifting."
