Over the last few weeks we’ve slowly been getting more and more details about Ariana Grande’s forthcoming album. Thanks to a recent talk show appearance we learned the album is called Sweetener and got clarification on some past teasers that the singer had dropped. Now a brand new teaser has surfaced online and left Ariana stans begging for details.
Ariana took to Twitter to drop a video of her lip syncing a verse by Nicki Minaj on a new track while oh-so-casually riding in a car. And just like that the world went wild. After Nicki’s feature on the 21 second clip we then hear Ariana singing “a light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole.” Fans quickly cemented that the new track is called The Light is Coming, the title of which was known from Ariana talking about track listing previously.
Another layer to the frenzy online was added when Ariana posted the clip to Instagram. First Nicki commented on the post and then Ariana commented back — fairly normal stuff. But then Drake got involved. Fans have begun circulating a screenshot of Drake reportedly commenting on the post too with a series of cryptic emojis, using it suggest he might also feature on the track. The comment doesn’t appear to exist anymore meaning it’s either been deleted or this is just a case of fans getting caught up in the excitement of rumours.
Either way we can’t wait to hear the collaborative track no matter how many artists feature on it when it’s eventually released.
