Ariana Grande Reportedly Working on New Music

Though the SAG strike is still ongoing, Ariana Grande seems to be keeping busy with new creative endeavors. Reports suggest that the singer is currently working on new music, with sources stating that she has been spending a lot of time in the recording studio during this unexpected break. According to Page Six, Grande is allegedly collaborating with producer Max Martin, the mastermind behind some of her biggest hits, including *God is a Woman*. While fans are eager for her seventh studio album, there is no official release timeline, as Grande is reportedly being mindful of the schedule for *Wicked* and originally intended to hold off on music until after the films premiered. However, with time available due to production delays, she appears to have changed her plans and is making the most of this creative window.

This news follows the recent celebration of *Yours Truly*'s 10th anniversary, for which Grande released a deluxe edition of the beloved album. Before that, she had been entirely focused on the highly anticipated *Wicked* film adaptation, in which she stars as Glinda alongside an A-list cast including Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, and Jonathan Bailey. The film has been a major project for Grande, who has long expressed her admiration for *Wicked* and its music. In a cover interview with *L’OFFICIEL*, Erivo shared her personal connection to the Broadway musical, recalling how deeply it resonated with her when she first saw it on her 25th birthday. She spoke about how the story provided a fresh perspective on villains and how it highlighted the complexities of human nature, making the role of Elphaba an exciting challenge for her.

While the film itself has generated a great deal of excitement thanks to its star-studded cast, impressive music setlist, and visually stunning first-look images, much of the media attention surrounding Grande has been focused on her rumored relationship with co-star Ethan Slater. Shortly after news broke of her divorce from Dalton Gomez, speculation arose that she was romantically involved with Slater, who is best known for his role as SpongeBob SquarePants in the Broadway adaptation of the animated series. The timing of their relationship has raised eyebrows, as both stars recently separated from their respective spouses, and Slater only welcomed his first child with his former wife last year.

Despite the backlash, Grande and Slater appear to be unaffected by the public scrutiny. According to *US Weekly*, the two are now living together and are reportedly “really happy and really good for each other.” The relationship has fueled intense speculation and discussions among fans and critics alike, but the couple seems focused on their own happiness rather than outside opinions. With a new chapter in both her personal and professional life unfolding, Grande appears to be embracing change with excitement.

Between her involvement in *Wicked*, her new relationship, and the rumors surrounding her upcoming music, it is clear that Grande is in a period of transformation. While fans wait for more details on her seventh album, there is no doubt that she is channeling her energy into projects that inspire her. Whether it’s on set or in the recording studio, Grande continues to evolve, pushing forward despite the challenges and controversies that come with fame. With so much happening in her world, one thing is certain—Ariana Grande is far from slowing down, and whatever she has in store next is bound to be something fans won’t want to miss.
