Ariana Grande appears to be teasing her eighth album 🙌
Let's look at the evidence
Fans have been left super excited by what appears to be a big tease by Ariana Grande, that her eighth studio album could be on the way soon.
As fans will know, she's already set to go on tour later this year, with 10 dates in London, as part of her world tour. And it seems that fans might soon be treated to her eighth album, as she celebrated a year since the release of the short film 'Brighter Days Ahead'.
Clues Ariana Grande's eighth album is on the way
Brighter Days Hotline
As part of the release of 'Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead', Ariana launched the Brighter Days Hotline. Originally playing a message about the deluxe edition of the album, the message has been changed several times over the past year, with the most recent to celebrate one year since the release of the deluxe album and short film.
On 28th March 2026, the message on the hotline was changed to one which said: "Hello, and thank you for calling the Brighter Days Ahead Hotline, we just wanted to say thank you all so much to all of our loyal customers for making this last year together, something we'll never want to forget. Our staff here at Brighter Days are so looking forward to continuing our mission of bringing happiness and healing to as many as we can this summer in person. We're counting down the 8s - Oops! I mean the days! We'll see you this summer and remember there are always Brighter Days ahead!"
Fans believe this intentional slip of the tongue, saying "8s - Oops! I mean the days", is an indication the eighth album will be coming soon.
Also on the anniversary of the release of 'Brighter Days Ahead', Ariana shared a video which was 1 minute 8 seconds long. Many fans saw this as another indication the album was coming soon. This is because her next album will be her eighth.
Instagram photo dump
When teasing her seventh album Ariana would post things on dates beginning with a seven, she appears to be doing the same thing with dates ending in an eight this time around.
She posted a photo dump on 18th March at exactly 8pm, causing a stir amongst fans. Not long after, record producer Max Martin reportedly reposted Ari's post confirming it was at the studio where the singer recorded some songs for her 'Sweetener' album.
Instagram profile
She changed her Instagram profile on 28th February to say 'see you this summer ꕤ｡'.
What is the album called?
Ariana has not confirmed the name of the album, but fans are calling it 'AG8'.

When will the album be released?
Nothing has been confirmed yet.
