Earlier this summer, Grande confirmed upcoming plans for live music performances in 2026, "even if it’s just for a little." She shared that, despite her growing acting career, she will not abandon her musical roots as it "has always been my lifeline." Grande went on to explain that this part of her career "may not look exactly like it did before, but I much prefer how it looks in my head." 

Grande is starring as Glinda in the two-part film adaptation of Wicked, the first part of which has already been released.  For her performance in the film, she was nominated for multiple awards, including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. She has since booked roles in Focker In-Law and Jon M. Chu's animated musical Oh, the Places You'll Go. In previous interviews, she has indicated that she hopes to pursue more acting and musical theater. 

Grande's most recent music release is "eternal sunshine deluxe: brighter days edition," the deluxe edition of her acclaimed 2024 album. The new version of her album includes six additional tracks, including Twilight Zone, Warm, Dandelion, Past Life, and Hampstead, which is inspired by the UK location where she stayed during the filming of Wicked in 2023.

The latest version of her hit album follows her "slightly deluxe" and "slightly deluxe and also live" editions, which featured alternate live, acoustic, and remixed versions of the tracks. eternal sunshine, her first album since 2020, was released in March of 2024 to acclaim from fans and critics. The title takes inspiration from the 2004 Jim Carrey movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
