«I’m always going to do pop stuff, I pinky promise,» said Grande, who plays Glinda in «Wicked.»
Ariana Grande returned to her acting roots as Glinda in «Wicked» —and plans to continue on that path.
«I’m going to say something so scary, it’s going to scare the absolute shit out of my fans and everyone», she said on Wednesday’s episode of Bowen Yang and Matt Roger’s podcast, «Las Culturistas.»
«I’m always going to make music, I’m always going to go onstage, I’m always going to do pop stuff, I pinky promise», the «We Can’t Be Friends» singer added.
However, Grande said that she doesn’t see herself producing pop music at the same rate as she did in the past decade for the next 10 years.
«I think I love acting, I love musical theater. I think reconnecting with this part of myself who started in musical theater and who loves comedy — it heals me to do that», she said.
Grande started her career on Broadway at the age of 15. She rose to prominence for her role as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s «Victorious» and «Sam & Cat», and has released seven studio albums since 2013.
Still, acting «feeds» her in a different way than songwriting does, she said, adding that being a singer means «constantly reliving that one thing that you wrote the song about.
