Is Ariana Grande Releasing a New Album? Fans Convinced After Singer's '6 Fingers' Response

Ariana Grande has one of the prettiest faces in Hollywood, and the actress-singer also has a huge following on social media. Even before she starred in Wicked, Grande already made a name for herself as an award-winning singer, making it natural for fans to watch out for her next interview, television appearance, music video release, and so much more.

Grande's eagle-eyed fans are also very passionate about the photos and clips they see of their idol, and they easily point out what looks different or weird about her online. This week, Grande graced the cover of a magazine where she shared her vulnerable side and detailed her relationship with her mother and late grandmother. However, fans became distracted by one of the photos wherein Grande appeared to have six fingers.

Controversial Magazine Cover

At first glance, Grande does appear to have six fingers in the photo. However, upon closer inspection, it seems that what looks like her sixth finger is actually just her gloves. Several fans took to social media to react to the editing mistake, and Grande made sure to join in the fun. The singer proved that she wasn't upset by the mistake and instead made light of the situation. 'Oh my goodness, how exciting. I've been saying I need some extra appendages so that I can start an album! Thankful for this', she joked.

How the Magazine Fixed the Mistake

Following the viral attention the photo received, the magazine quickly moved to correct the editing error. The publication updated the image on its digital platforms, removing the optical illusion that made it appear as though Grande had six fingers. The corrected version now clearly shows Grande's gloves without the confusing extra digit. The swift response from the magazine's editorial team came after social media users widely shared the original image, with many making light-hearted jokes about the apparent mistake. Despite the error, the magazine's feature on Grande has continued to generate positive attention, particularly for the singer's candid reflections on her career and family.

Upcoming Album Release?

Fans of Grande immediately took her comment to heart and started speculating on the possibility of their idol releasing a new album. Others are convinced that Grande's comments on the photo faux pas was her way of subtly teasing her next big album release. 'Your promise is now double locked', one fan commented. 'Waiting for the internet to break after Ariana's comment about starting an album...', another person wrote.

Love and Inspiration

The magazine immediately fixed Grande's picture, and it no longer seems as though the singer has six fingers. As such, fans can now focus on what Grande said during her interview. Grande credited her mum and grandmother for inspiring her to be the actress and person that she is today. 'I feel like there have been a lot of times when I've been doing my best work creatively, and yet my celebrity has been louder than the work. And my mum has always been here to set the record straight in my head and remind me of my worth as an artist and as a human being every time that noise has almost derailed me', she said.

Grande also said that she tries her best to channel her grandmother's strength all the time. As her way of remembering her, Grande makes it a point to always carry her grandmother's lip balms everywhere she goes. The singer's grandmother died last year at the age of 99.
