Singer and actress Ariana Grande has announced plans to step back from her career after more than a decade in the spotlight. The 32-year-old shared in a Vogue Japan interview that slowing down will help her regain balance after years of continuous work in music and film.
Grande reflected on her journey from her early fame on Victorious, explaining that she has rarely taken breaks. “I grew so much from taking space from music while I was filming Wicked… But yeah, these past few years have been pretty non-stop. And by few, I mean 15,” she said. The singer emphasized that the next phase of her life will focus on achieving personal and professional balance.
Looking ahead, Ariana Grande said she aims to work at a different pace over the next 15 years. “Balance is the goal for the next 15 years. I don’t think they will look like the previous 15 years. I think there will be more balance,” she added, highlighting the importance of self-care and sustainable work.
Grande also discussed her role as Glinda in the two-part Wicked film adaptation. She shared that she deeply explored her character’s emotional world, focusing on insecurities, relationships, and unspoken moments to deliver a polished yet vulnerable performance. Her dedication to the role reflects her commitment to both acting and music.
The singer praised her co-star Cynthia Erivo, noting that they formed a strong bond during filming. “We took good care of each other and worked very hard, and it was the most gratifying work of my life. I would do it all over again today,” Grande said.
