Ariana Grande may be lining up new acting opportunities, but she wants fans to know she hasn’t abandoned music.

Ari wrote in a social media post Wednesday, "very silly of you all to assume that just because i have my hands full with many things that i plan to abandon singing & music … !!! it is and has always been my lifeline. there will need to be room made for all of it."

“It may not look exactly like it did before but i much prefer how it looks in my head,” she continued. “I am having fun. i feel grateful and excited and inspired. finding a balance, between many projects and endeavors i love, and doing it my own way… so i’m working on a plan to sing for you all next year. even if it’s just for a little. i love you.”

It was announced this week that Ariana would lead the voice cast for Jon M. Chu's animated adaptation of Dr. SeussOh, the Places You'll Go! She also has a starring role in the upcoming Meet the Parents 4.

In November, she reprises her Oscar-nominated role of Glinda in Wicked: For Good.
