She recently teamed up for some big collaborations.
Outside of her new album, Grande joined forces with Lady Gaga earlier this year for "Rain on Me," a VMA winner, and Justin Bieber for "Stuck with U," a sweet love song for the quarantine era. The duet debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
She's also rumored to have something in the works with Mariah Carey and Jennifer Hudson for a holiday-themed project, which the "All I Want for Christmas Is You" singer recently teased on social media.
