]]>Grande’s fans were over the moon when a rumor about her potential 2025 tour started making the rounds online. Her label was quick to dismiss it, saying, “There are no plans for a tour next year, but Ariana remains deeply appreciative of her fans and all the continued love, support and excitement.”
Grande herself addresses the speculations during an interview at the Golden Globes First-Time Nominees luncheon and explains why touring isn’t her priority at this point in time.
“I feel so grateful to the acting, and I think my fans know that music and being on stage will always be a part of my life, but I don’t see it coming anytime soon. I think the next few years, hopefully, we’ll be exploring different forms of art, and I think acting is feeling like home right now,” she told Variety.
Grande made her acting comeback with the role of Glinda in Wicked, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination, and she’ll return for its sequel Wicked: For Good. Earlier this year, she also released her seventh studio album Eternal Sunshine, which produced chart-topping singles “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” and earned three Grammy nominations.

]]>The visual for “Disease” kicks off in a peaceful suburban neighborhood, but this idyllic setting is quickly replaced by more disturbing images. As the frame spans to Lady Gaga, we see her lying on the hood of a car, before eventually confronting the driver. The mysterious figure in an all-black outfit wears a leather mask that covers most of their face, only to take it off and reveal themselves as another version of Lady Gaga.
The singer said this song explores her relationship with her own inner demons, capturing her attempts to run away from them only to realize they’re still a part of her.
“It’s never been easy for me to face how I get seduced by chaos and turmoil. It makes me feel claustrophobic. Disease is about facing that fear, facing myself and my inner darkness, and realizing that sometimes I can’t win or escape the parts of myself that scare me,” she wrote in a statement.
“Disease” serves as the interlude for Lady Gaga’s upcoming seventh studio album, which will reportedly hit the shelves in February.

]]>Inspired by the 90s horror comedy Death Becomes Her, “Taste” sees the two leading ladies embarking on a murderous spree while fighting for the love of the same guy. No weapon is off limits for these two scream queens, but the death of their lover makes them realize their feud was pointless, so they decide to abandon their rivalry and form a friendship that will last a lifetime.
Carpenter and Ortega are both former Disney stars who built a pretty successful career in recent years, and their love for Death Becomes Her brought them together. “Taste” also references several other iconic movies, including Psycho, Addams Family Values, Ginger Snaps, and Kill Bill.
“Taste” is the third single from Carpenter’s sixth studio album Short n’ Sweet, but it’s not the first to break the internet. The singer also created a lot of commotion with “Espresso” and “Please Please Please”, which became her first single to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Dion said she was full of joy to return to one of her favorite cities and take part in the opening ceremony, and wished all the luck to the athletes taking part in the Olympics.
