Ariana Grande has left fans buzzing after dropping a major hint about a new tour set for 2026. The pop superstar, who has not toured since her Sweetener and Thank U, Next shows in 2019, teased the possibility in a short video that quickly spread across social media.
The potential return to live performances comes at a pivotal moment in her career. Grande has spent the last few years balancing music with acting, most notably starring as Glinda in the highly anticipated Wicked films. With her acting commitments winding down by early next year, fans believe she is finally ready to dedicate herself once again to touring.
If confirmed, the 2026 run would mark her first in seven years. In that time she has released two new albums and scored multiple number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Supporters point out that demand for tickets is likely to be overwhelming, especially if the shows are kept on a smaller scale. Many believe even arenas could sell out within minutes, while others think Grande has the power to make the leap to stadiums, joining the ranks of Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga.
Fans are already preparing themselves for the ticket scramble, joking that it will feel like a “war zone” on Ticketmaster once dates are announced. Others are simply relieved that Grande appears ready to return after so many personal and professional changes over the past several years.
Though she has not revealed exact locations or dates, excitement is growing worldwide. From fans in the United States to those in Europe, many are already speculating about whether their cities will make the list. For now, the pop star has kept details under wraps, leaving only a small teaser to spark anticipation.
What is clear is that Ariana Grande’s possible 2026 tour could become one of the biggest pop events of the decade, reuniting her with millions of fans who have waited patiently for her return to the stage.
