Ariana Grande Shares Career Change That Will ‘Scare The Absolute S**t’ Out Of Her Fans
HuffPost
The “Wicked” star has released seven studio albums since 2013, won multiple Grammys and broken several streaming records.
Ariana Grande says she’ll “always” make music — but also wants to spread her wings.
The “Wicked” star announced Wednesday while discussing her career, which includes two Grammys, six No. 1 albums and multiple Guinness World Records that the next decade will see her pivot away from pop and back to her original passion: musical theater.
“I’m going to say something so scary,” Grande told “Las Culturistas” podcast hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. “It’s going to scare the absolute shit out of my fans and everyone. I love them, and they will deal, and we will be here forever.”
“I’m always going to make music,” the 31-year-old continued. “I’m always going to go on stage. I’m always going to do pop stuff, I pinky promise. But I don’t think doing it at the rate that I’ve been doing for the past 10 years is where I see the next 10 years.”
Grande has been on a whirlwind press tour for the upcoming adaptation of Broadway’s “Wicked,” in which she plays a benevolent witch opposite Cynthia Erivo’s titular one, and said Wednesday that it reminded her of how important this creative outlet really is for her.
