Ariana Grande has confirmed that she will be releasing her highly anticipated album in 2024, and as the countdown starts, she is doubling down on the hints.
Several X (formerly known as Twitter) accounts, Pop Crave and Pop Base, pointed out that the "Greedy" singer has been using the kiss mark emoji more these days.
The singer recently shared a post, teasing the new album, and it included a picture of her lips-wearing red lipstick.
In a separate post, Grande shared a screenshot of her conversation with famed and beloved music producer, Max Martin, who also used the kiss mark emoji.
"FIRST TRACK IS CALLED KISSES I JUST KNOW IT. *MANIFESTING.*"
"Clues we have are Max Martin and [kiss mark emoji] so my guess for the song title is I kissed a married father and I liked it," another added, referring to Grande's boyfriend, Ethan Slater.
"I have a feeling Max is an executive producer for this album."
"AG7 is coming," another added, referring to the upcoming album.
Ariana Grande Teases New Album
Grande has not released any new music since 2020 with her album "Positions." For three years, she focused mainly on her acting career as she was recently cast as Glinda The Good Witch in the upcoming film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical "Wicked."
During that time, sources claimed that the singer wanted to put all her attention and energy into acting, and after a lot of begging and persuading on her fans' part, Grande finally relented and returned to the recording studio.
"I'm so tired. But so happy and grateful. I also feel like I weigh 3,000 tons," Grande said in a video.
Other pictures captured from the "Dangerous Woman" singer's recording sessions were shared on Instagram as well.
Ariana Grande Ends Years-Long Music Drought
According to reports, Grande has gone on for years without releasing a new album, but she has worked on several collabs during her time away.
She collaborated with The Weeknd for "Save Your Tears" and "Die For You," which both performed very well on music charts.
Another significant change in the singer's life was the end of her marriage with Dalton Gomez, the start of a new relationship with Slater, and the termination of her management contract with Scooter Braun.
Since she stepped away from music, Grande has launched a makeup line R.E.M. Beauty, and continues to release collections.
