Ariana was extremely busy in the first few weeks of lockdown, blowing fans away with a rendition of ‘I Won’t Say I’m In Love’ from Disney’s Hercules and belting out an incredible performance of ‘I’m Still Hurting’ from musical The Last Five Years, which we’ve had on repeat for days.
And while she’s been busy with phenomenal covers, as well as a magical live version of her 2014 song ‘My Everything’, Ariana has also seemed to confirm her next era, which fans are calling ‘AG6’.
When one fan tweeted: ““This new era is gonna be amazing can’t wait to start it with you [heart] take your time tho),” Ariana seemingly acknowledged her next chapter.
The ‘Boyfriend’ singer replied: “‘Take ya time / hurry up’”.
On the second year anniversary of Ariana' 'Sweetener' album, the star posted another snap of a microphone on her Instagram story, prompting more speculation into whether 2020 was truly the time for some solo music.

After finishing her nine-month 'Sweetener' tour in December 2019, Ari took a well-deserved break and has been relaxing at home ever since with her new boyfriend.
However, she did tell fans in January she'd returned to the studio but warned, "don't get excited about anything... it's just nice to be home n write n sing [sic]."
Ariana again confirmed she’s been spending time in the studio by raffling a fan experience for a studio session hangout and dinner with the pop star to raise money for the All In Challenge.
The 26-year-old has also been working with other artists as she throws herself back into musical production; she features on Lady Gaga’s new album ‘Chromatica’ for their song ‘Rain On Me’, as well as Childish Gambino’s ‘Time’ on his new album ‘3.15.20’.
Ari is also hotly tipped to be cast as Megara in the live-action remake of Hercules, news which has fans adamant Ariana is ensuring she has a busy 2020.
