It looks like pop titan Ariana Grande and Starbucks are teasing at a brand new project together.
The singer, whose last name is appropriately the size of a large cup at the coffeehouse chain, posted a cryptic tweet filled with coffee-related emojis on Twitter and the date 5th March.

Starbucks responded with a near-identical tweet, leading quickwitted fans to twig what the plans were.

Monday saw the coffee giant tweeting even more cryptic messages about finding your “cloud name”, and an image of a cloud with hidden Ariana Grande lyrics including “tomorrow you’ll be smiling real smiles” and “thank you, next”.

Later, BusinessInsider reported that the two will announce the launch of a new drink later today, paired with a playlist of entirely Grande tunes set to play instore.
Finally, Grande herself delivered on the cryptic date, posting several images of herself in Starbucks garb and taking sips from the forthcoming “Cloud Macchiato”.

Last month, Ariana Grande claimed the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 – making her the first artist since The Beatles to do so.
