While hinting that something special will be coming out on the 20th of each month up to the release of her new album, it could be anticipated that Ariana Grande's 'The Light is Coming' and the Sweetener album pre-order will be out on June 20. 

She announced on a tweet on Sunday afternoon(June 10), "ten days till the light is coming & my album preorder." 

'The Light is Coming' is the third track on Ariana Grande's upcoming fourth studio album, Sweetener, featuring rapper Nicki Minaj. According to Billboard, the two probably got together on Saturday to film for their music video collab. Minaj called out Grande and asked her, "What's GOOD?!?!?!?!?!?!" The two stars shared clips of their meeting on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. 

The Bang Bang singer had previously worked with the rapper on 'Side to Side' in 2016. She had earlier hinted that she would be helping out the 35-year-old star for her new album Sweetener, uploading a short clip of lip-syncing to Nicki's rap verse, 'The Light is Coming'. She also got people speculating as she let out a series of cryptic tweets about R.E.M.

Ariana is probably having the time of her life, although most fans seem shocked at her early engagement with Pete Davidson. A source confirmed with the PEOPLE that the ring is a massive one, "All I know about the ring is that it's big," which seems to indicate towards the mini diamond meteor Grande has been wearing. 

The 24-year-old pop star apparently showed off her engagement ring from Pete Davidson at the Wango Tango, only a week before the US Weekly confirmed the news. Grande had also flaunted the ring in several occasions, such as while posing with Ryan McKenna at the Super Bowl, and in an interview with Real 92.3's Big Boy. 

The news of the 'No Tears Left to Cry' singer and the Saturday Night Live Star being in a relationship was revealed shortly after Grande announced her split from her boyfriend of nearly two years, Mac Miller. The two had ended their relationship ahead of 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April. 

Grande's first single on the album 'No Tears Left to Cry' was inspired by the terrorist attack which had hit her concert at Manchester in North West England, last year in May. Her chorus goes as, "Ain’t got no tears left to cry. So I’m loving, I’m living, I’m picking it up."
