Ariana Grande announces a temporary career break

Pop sensation Ariana Grande has announced a temporary career break to focus exclusively on her role in the upcoming film "Wicked." Grande shared this decision with her fans through an Instagram post, expressing her gratitude and excitement for the future.

In her Instagram Stories, Grande stated, "I have decided to put a temporary pin in all things that are not Wicked for now." This announcement has drawn significant attention, as the singer has been a central figure in the music industry for years.

Grande also took the opportunity to express her love and appreciation for her fans, adding, “I am mostly, so, inexplicably excited for all that is to come.” She assured her supporters that she will see them soon and thanked them for their patience.

The reaction from her fans has been overwhelmingly supportive. On the social media platform X, one user wrote, "If she's happier doing Wicked then I support her." Others expressed their desire for her return, with another fan posting, "No come back please!"

This announcement follows Grande's recent tease about a potential "mini Eternal Sunshine tour" during an appearance on the Shutup Evan Podcast. However, it appears that the tour will be postponed as she dedicates her efforts to "Wicked."

Grande’s decision underscores her commitment to her role in the film, which has been highly anticipated by both fans of the musical and the singer. "Wicked," an adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical, will feature Grande in a leading role, showcasing her talents beyond the music stage.

As she steps back from her other professional engagements, Grande’s fans are eager to see her performance in "Wicked" and continue to support her during this temporary hiatus. The singer's heartfelt message and her fans' reactions highlight the strong bond she shares with her audience.
