Recent studio selfies posted on social media, featuring equipment hinting at collaborations with long-time producers Max Martin and Ilya Salmanzadeh, have ignited speculation. Grande has a history of teasing new projects through cryptic social media posts.

This time, fans are particularly focused on Grande's repeated references to the number eight. She has used symbols, specific posting times, and even a playful message on her fan hotline saying, "We're counting down the 8s... oops, I mean the days." These actions have significantly amplified the excitement surrounding a potential new album.

While Grande herself has not officially confirmed 'AG8', her recent activities align with her established pattern of teasing new music.
