AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande has given fans another exciting update on her highly-anticipated album "Thank U, Next". After revealing its tracklist and release date, the "No Tears Left to Cry" singer took to Twitter on Wednesday, January 23 to share the cover art for the upcoming effort.
The sultry artwork gave fans major "Sweetener" vibes, as her now-signature upside-down photo took center stage with a pink backdrop serving as a frame for the photo. Ariana was seen looking away from the camera while crossing her arms over her chest, where "Thank U, Next" was written on her body in big, bold letters. She opted for a black-colored lipstick and wing line and wore her hair in her iconic high-ponytail.
In addition to revealing the album's cover art, the Florida-born beauty shared a few fun facts about it. "Brian painted me, Fredo shot me. Made with tru, deep friendship and love," she wrote, giving a shoutout to her backup dancer Brian Nicholson and personal cameraman Alfredo Flores. "Just like this music."
She also gave a shoutout to her mom, Joan Grande, for being the inspiration behind her lipstick. "Shoutout to the baddest, most intelligent, most thoughtful and generous, strongest (like you have no idea), black lipstick wearing for no occasion mama. the og @joangrande," she added. "I hope I can be half as fly and wonderful and graceful as u are one day."
This arrived just a day after Ariana shared the tracklist for the new album. Besides the previously-released "Imagine", "Thank U, Next" and "7 Rings", the effort will also include songs like "Break Up with Your Girlfriend" and "NASA", the latter of which is speculated to be about her ex, Pete Davidson. This is because the "Saturday Night Live" star wore a NASA shirt to the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, the first red carpet appearance as a couple.
Ariana has yet to comment on the speculation, but recently hinted that the said song would be released soon. Meanwhile, "Thank U, Next" will hit the stores on February 8.
