Grande also shared a clip that appeared to show her mother dancing to a new song.

Ariana Grande is still a dangerous woman after dropping perhaps the most tantalizing teaser yet for her new album.

The 30-year-old pop superstar stoked fan interest in her new music on Wednesday when she shared a series of Instagram images and videos that offered a wealth of clues into her next musical era.

"See you next year," Grande captioned the post, which included shots ranging from an audio-less video of her mother seemingly dancing to a new song, as well as a picture of the singer crying in a recording studio while giving the camera a thumbs up.

The last post showed Grande laying down on a large couch, laughing as an unidentified person speaks to her off-camera.

“Are you tired? Have you been working hard? Is this almost the last day of this album?” the person asks as Grande chuckles.

“I’m so tired," she responds. “I’m so happy and grateful. I also feel like I weigh 3,000 tons. The idea of moving is impossible."

Also within the post are images of mailers from her R.E.M. beauty line, which also feature handwritten notes that say "see you next year" alongside a photograph of Grande's lips.

Though she's appeared on a handful of one-off remixes with The Weeknd for "Save Your Tears" and "Die for You" — both of which topped the American charts in 2021 and 2023, respectively — Grande hasn't released a new solo album since 2020's Positions.

In addition to her upcoming album, Grande will also star in the long-awaited big-screen adaptation of the beloved stage musical Wicked alongside Cynthia Erivo and Michelle Yeoh, set for release in November 2024.
