On Thursday, Ariana, 31, shared the message on her Instagram Stories.

“I love you all so much,” the 7 Rings hitmaker said.

“I have decided to put a temporary pin in all things that are not Wicked for now.

She went on to thank her fans for their understanding and patience.

“I’m deeply grateful for your patience and mostly, so, inexplicably excited for all that is to come.

“See you soon,” she concluded.

‘WE LOST!’

On X, fans shared their thoughts on Ariana’s decision to press pause on other projects.

“Hope she’s well, love you girl,” one fan wrote.

Another said, “We lost.”

“No come back please!” begged a third Ariana fan.

Ariana Grande explains why her voice changed on podcast – as fans note she once admitted to ‘sounding like an idiot’

“We love her!” a fourth wrote. “We support your decision!”

“If shes happier doing wicked then I support her,” someone else admitted.

A sixth stated, mentioning the two Wicked Broadway stars, “I mean I can’t blame her. It’s kind of a big thing, people have high expectations after Idina [Menzel] and Kristin Chenoweth.”

TOUR NO MORE

Earlier this week, Ariana revealed a deluxe version of Eternal Sunshine was in the works, but wouldn’t be released anytime soon.

The star appeared on Evan Ross Katz’s podcast Shut Up Evan to discuss her music goals.

She dished, “I want to let [the album] live in this current state a little while longer.

“[I want to] take my time to execute my vision for this deluxe and make sure that it’s worth the wait and as special as I think it can be.”

Ariana then went on to talk about a possible tour.

“It would be a really lovely idea to be able to trickle in some shows in between the two Wicked films.

“It would be a mini little sampling of shows, I think. It’s something that my team and I are working on coming up with options for,” she said.
