After starring alongside Cynthia Erivo in Wicked, the Positions singer confirmed on Wednesday she'd been cast in the film adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book Oh, The Places You'll Go!

But posting on socials, Ariana reassured fans that more acting roles doesn't mean an end to her music career, insisting there's room for both.

Singing and music "is and has always been my lifeline", she says. "There will need to be room made for all of it."

The US singer released her latest album, Eternal Sunshine, in 2024 but fans haven't had the opportunity to see her perform it live yet.
