Ariana Grande Played Unreleased Music on the Set of 'Focker-in-Law'

Ariana Grande stunned a co-star by sharing unreleased music with cast members on the set of the upcoming comedy “Focker-in-Law.” Skyler Gisondo, who stars opposite Grande, told The Hollywood Reporter that after she played new material, he told her, “Nobody should be able to do this.”

Grande is currently on a break following her Eternal Sunshine tour, which concluded in September, and most recently released her eighth studio album, “Petal,” in July. The fact that she already has new material in the works has excited fans, who have been parsing Gisondo's comments for clues about a ninth album.

“Focker-in-Law” continues the long-running comedy franchise, with Grande joining a cast built around the Focker family chaos. Her move into film has accelerated in recent years alongside her music career, and the set stories suggest she brought her studio habits with her.

Gisondo's reaction — part admiration, part disbelief — captures the double life of a pop star who can hold a film set and a recording session in the same afternoon. Cast members who heard the music have not described it in detail, leaving fans to speculate about its sound and timing.

No release date for new Grande music has been announced. For now, the unreleased songs exist only as a story told on a film set — and as the latest sign that her break from touring does not mean a break from making music.
