On August 27, 2025, Ariana Grande generated great expectation by sharing an enigmatic teaser on her social networks with the phrases “Announcement loading” and “See you next year…”, accompanied by the futuristic aesthetics of her short film Brighter Days Ahead.
The video concludes with the words, “See you next year,” which confirmed her return to the stage after a seven-year absence, since the Sweetener World Tour in 2019.
Since the release of her album Eternal Sunshine in 2024, Grande had hinted in interviews – such as on the Zach Sang Showpodcast –that she planned a mini-tour during the filming of her Wicked movies.
However, by January 2025 she confirmed that this idea was discarded: she preferred to prioritize her film career, especially her role as Glinda.

In the same vein, he more recently denied rumors of quitting music, calling them “nonsense”, and reinforced that “there is a plan to sing for them next year, even if it’s just for a little while”.
