Grande, 32, didn’t reveal what’s coming, but fans are convinced it ties back to her chart-topping seventh album. Notably, the video was shared in a joint post with her Brighter Days Instagram account and carried the same neon blue sci-fi aesthetic as her Eternal Sunshine: Brighter Days Ahead short film.

While she’s kept quiet on specifics, one possibility has fans especially hopeful: live shows.
