Ariana Grande Jokes “Would Need Extra Brain” to Release New Music
Ariana Grande has joked that she would “need an extra brain” to release new music.
The musician’s last musical output was her March 2024 album ‘eternal Sunshine‘, an expanded deluxe version of which she shared in 2025, complete with six new tracks. She’s now shared that she isn’t interested in making new music at the moment, joking that she’d require “an extra brain and four more arms” to start working on an album.
Her comments came up following an interview with Variety, with the outlet reporting that ther was “definitely not” new music coming “before May”. She then added a message to fans: “I love them so much, but sometimes I want to ask, ‘Do you think there’s another version of me out there who had time to write an album?’ Not yet – but soon enough.”
though, in a follow-up comment shared to Instagram, Grande pushed back on that framing.”Welp, I never said ’but soon enough’ or mentioned any months! lol my goooooodness,” she wrote. “All i said was ‘no’ and ‘do they think there’s a clone of me out there somewhere’! there must’ve been a Zoom glitch or something.”
Her comments led fans to speculate that she may be sharing new music before her upcoming ‘eternal Sunshine’ tour. In a separate comment on that post, she wrote, “Ma’am i would need an extra brain and four more arms.”
in late August, Grande announced her first string of live shows since 2019, set to take place this summer. The ‘Eternal Sunshine’ run will see her perform across the US between June and August,followed by a https://www.billboard.com/music-news/ariana-grande-scooter-braun-split-1235374848/
