Ariana Grande's career crossroads: Music or acting spotlight?

Developing a career in multiple directions is quite common for public figures nowadays. One can simultaneously sing, act in movies or TV series, create a cosmetics brand, and even write books. Offering fans what they want across various fields provides the opportunity to increase popularity and recognition. It also demonstrates versatility, which could be helpful in the future. Anyone embarking on a journey into the dazzling world of showbiz knows this.

Ariana Grande was a guest on the "Las Culturistas" podcast. Hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang asked her about her vision for the next ten years. The former Nickelodeon star admitted that she would like to return to Broadway someday. The artist said, "I’m going to say something so scary. It’s going to scare the absolute s--t out of my fans and everyone. I love them, and they will deal and we will be here forever. I’m always going to make music. I’m always going to go on stage. I’m always going to do pop stuff, I pinky promise, but I don’t think doing it at the rate that I’ve been doing for the past 10 years is where I see the next 10 years. I think I love acting; I love musical theater. Reconnecting with this part of myself who started in musical theater and who loves comedy and it heals me to do that, finding roles to use these parts of myself and put them in little homes and characters and bits and voices and songs."

Ariana Grande actively supported Kamala Harris's campaign. Unsurprisingly, after the announcement of the presidential election results in the United States, the artist feels saddened. The singer is aware that she is not alone in this sentiment. On Instagram, Ariana addressed those who, like her, fear the consequences of Donald Trump's victory: "Holding the hand of every person who is feeling the immeasurable heaviness of this outcome today," wrote Ariana Grande.
