Ariana Grande is planning to embark on a ‘mini’ tour she confirmed this week after months of rumours around her performance schedule.
The 31-year-old singer is determined to play some shows in support of her recent album Eternal Sunshine.
And she is trying to squeeze the gigs in between her work for the upcoming Wicked films.
Speaking on the Shut Up Evan podcast, Ariana said: ‘I still want it too. It would be a really lovely idea to be able to trickle 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.’

The We Can’t Be Friends singer also revealed that a deluxe edition of the album will be released, although her fans will have to wait a while to hear it.
Ariana said: ‘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.’
She continued: ‘I definitely thought this album was perfect as it was, and I still kind of feel that way.
‘With time, I’ve been inspired to write more songs and inclined to do this deluxe.
‘I’m really tempted to put a creative button on this storytelling, and I have a lot of ideas. It’s an idea that’s become something I can’t not do.’
Grande says that the delay to the deluxe issue’s release is due to her role as Glinda in the long-awaited Wicked films.

She said of the release date: ‘I’ll let it be a surprise, but I wouldn’t say any time super soon.
‘I’m also trying to navigate the timing of the Wicked of it all, because I really want to give my entire self to that when it’s time to shift gears.
‘I’m working on it constantly, and I’ll have more information on timing soon.’
