Pop sensation Ariana Grande has tantalised fans with a cryptic video on Instagram, signalling her return to touring in 2026 after a seven-year break. The clip echoes the visuals from her Brighter Days Ahead short film, tied to her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine, and ends with the compelling line, “see you next year.”

This marks a shift for Ariana Grande, who has recently focused on her acting career. This tease suggests that after focusing on her acting career, most notably her role as Glinda in the eagerly awaited Wicked movies, Grande is poised to shift back to live music performances.
Her last tour, the Sweetener World Tour, wrapped up in 2019 before the release of her most recent albums, Positions and Eternal Sunshine, leaving fans hungry for a new live experience. With filming for Wicked: For Good nearing completion, Grande appears ready to embrace the road once again.
Although no official tour dates or locations have been announced, the hint alone has ignited excitement among her fans, who are gearing up for a highly anticipated return to the stage and a heartfelt reunion with the pop icon.
