Ariana Grande is currently experiencing a significant moment in her career, particularly with her role as Glinda in Wicked, which has garnered both critical acclaim and box office success. However, despite her rising star power in Hollywood, it seems that fans hoping for a big 2025 stadium tour will be disappointed. Her record label recently confirmed that there are no plans for a tour next year, even as she continues to receive praise for her acting, including a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Wicked.
In an interview at the Golden Globes First-Time Nominees luncheon, Grande shared that while music will always be a part of her life, her focus is currently on acting. She explained that acting feels like “home” to her right now, and though she appreciates the love and support from her fans, she doesn’t see a tour in the near future. She reassured fans that music will continue to be a part of her journey, but it seems that for the time being, her focus will remain on her acting career.
Grande also gave a glimpse into her excitement for Wicked: For Good, the upcoming second part of the Wicked film series, which has now officially been named, after initially being referred to as Wicked: Part 2. Fans of the original stage musical and the first film can look forward to more of Grande’s portrayal of Glinda, with a title that reflects a sense of finality and closure.
While Ariana’s fans may have to wait for a tour, she remains deeply connected to them, expressing her gratitude and affection for their ongoing support as she explores new creative horizons. For now, it seems that the next chapter in her career will be filled with acting and creative expression, with music playing a supporting role in her life.
