Ariana Grande has been pretty busy dropping hints about new music in the past few weeks, and she finally made things official. The Grammy-winner ended 2023 on a high note, by announcing her seventh studio album is hitting the shelves next year!

Grande took to social media to share a series of photos, hinting at the release of her next LP. One of them featured a package containing a red lipstick from her beauty brand r.e.m, accompanied by a note reading “See you next year.”

Her photo dump also featured a video from the studio, where she mentioned it being “almost the last day of the album”. The photos also confirmed Ilya Salmanzadeh’s involvement, creating even more buzz for her next LP since he produced some of Grande’s biggest hits, such as “Breathin’”, “Santa Tell Me”, and Problem”.

This announcement comes shortly after Grande signed a new management deal with Brandon Creed’s Good World Management, after parting ways with Scooter Braun. He previously worked with the likes of Charli XCX, Mark Ronson, Troye Sivan, and Bruno Mars.

Grande’s last album Positions came out in 2020 and produced singles “Positions”, “34+35”, and “POV”. It received a Grammy nod for the best pop vocal album, but eventually lost to Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour.
