\n\tFor the second year in a row, Ariana Grande<\/a> is gearing up to take her seat at the Golden Globes on Sunday (Jan. 11) as a nominee for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role for her work as Glinda, this time in the Wicked sequel, Wicked: For Good. <\/p>\n

\n\tAnd while the Wicked ride has been a wild one for the singer-turned-A-list-actress, she told Variety<\/a> that she\u2019s already gearing up for the next big thing: a top-secret project she promises will be just as exciting. <\/p>\n

\n\tAfter upcoming roles in the 13th season of American Horror Story and the fifth episode of the Meet the Fockers series, Focker-In-Law, Grande teased that there \u201cis something else I\u2019m very excited about down the line. I can\u2019t say much yet, but it\u2019s something that inspires me deeply. It contains multitudes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile she didn\u2019t give any details about what specific multitudes she was alluding to, Grande did put a definitive line in the sand about what Arianators can expect when she kicks off her upcoming Eternal Sunshine tour<\/a> on June 6 at the Oakland Arena in Oakland, Calif. Asked if any new music will drop before she hits the road Grande gave a firm \u201cno.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tNearly two years on from her 2024 seventh studio LP, Eternal Sunshine, Grande firmly said that \u201cnothing is coming before May. I love them [Arianators] so much, but sometimes I want to ask, \u2018Do you think there\u2019s another version of me out there who had time to write an album?\u2019 Not yet \u2014\u00a0but soon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGrande also weighed in on what it felt like to watch her Wicked co-star and director get snubbed by two professional organizations during the upcoming awards season. \u201cThere aren\u2019t enough flowers on this earth for Jon M. Chu,\u201d she said of the two-part film\u2019s director, who was once again not nominated for a Directors Guild of America honor for his work on the franchise that has raked in more than $1.2 billion to date<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s an extraordinary human being and director. This film will be watched for decades to come. He set out to move people, to challenge them, to make them better allies and better humans \u2014 and he succeeded.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe was similarly peeved that Erivo\u2019s \u201cundeniable\u201d work in the films as Elphaba was not fully recognized. Erivo was nominated for a best actress Oscar last year and is up for best actress in a musical or comedy at this year\u2019s Globes, but wasn\u2019t nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award this year after landing a lead actress nod from the Actor Awards (formerly known as the SAG Awards) last year. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCynthia\u2019s performance is the most truthful, vulnerable and fierce Elphaba we\u2019ve seen,\u201d Grande said. \u201cAnd it will be referenced and adored for generations. That can\u2019t be taken away. That\u2019s why I say every good thing that happens to me belongs to them, too. None of this exists in isolation. We informed each other every single day. Of course, it\u2019s hard \u2014 they deserve all the flowers this world can grow.\u201d<\/p>\n
