Singer Takes Longer Tour Break - Ariana Grande joins *Meet the Parents 4* after *Wicked* success

Ariana Grande is set to expand her acting career with a role in Meet the Parents 4, joining stars like Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. The announcement follows her acclaimed performance in Wicked, which earned her an IMDB rating of 7.5. Meanwhile, the singer has revealed plans to step back from touring after her 2026 shows.

Grande will play Olivia Jones, the fiancée of Stiller and Teri Polo’s on-screen son, in the upcoming Focker In-Law. The film also features Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, Skyler Gisondo, Beanie Feldstein, and Eduardo Franco. This comes as the second part of the wicked movie arrives in cinemas this week, solidifying her reputation as a leading actress.

Grande’s upcoming projects span film, television, and a final tour. After 2026, she plans to take an indefinite break from live performances. Her future focus, she suggests, will move beyond music into new creative directions.
