This morning (August 27), Ariana Grande sent fans into a tizzy after she dropped a cryptic teaser on her Instagram account.
The clip is styled like her short film called Brighter Days Ahead and shows a computer screen flashing through images, which includes a destroyed plush toy from the film and Ariana at a microphone. The screen then displays the message: “corrupt file found and corrected … see you next year... announcement loading.” Other details in the teaser said "file 08.06 est_26".
The teaser immediately sparked speculation that the "Thank You, Next" star is planning a 2026 tour, which would be her first since 2019, when she had her Sweetener World Tour.
The hint comes as a surprise to many fans, since Grande previously told Variety in December 2024 that she didn’t see herself touring “anytime soon”.
Whether it’s a tour or another project, Arianators are buzzing and counting down to 2026!
