At last, "AG4" has an official name and release date. Sweetener will be here before we know it, and in the meantime, we’ve rounded up all the intel that’s known about Ariana Grande’s next record

Grande took over The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (May 1), revealing long-awaited details about the album, as well as the news that she'll be opening the Billboard Music Awards on May 20 with an epic performance.

The singer also appeared in both musical and non-musical sketches for the episode, and debuted her comeback single “No Tears Left To Cry” on television. “Thanks to my bff @jimmyfallon for letting me co host the show tonight and perform No Tears for the first time on tv,” Grande wrote on Instagram after the fact. “You’re my favorite always and forever!”

Here's what we know so far:

Title

Grande has named her new record Sweetener, and explained the meaning during her Tonight Show appearance shortly after making the announcement. "It’s kind of about bringing light to a situation or to someone’s life,” Grande said, “Or somebody else brings life to your life. Sweetening the situation.”

“I’ve been away too long. I want to say everything,” she added, later tweeting the album name -- in an upside-down font, of course.

By the way: Grande has clearly been thinking about the title for a while; she posted an Instagram photo on Nov. 5, 2016 with a caption that no one thought twice about at the time.
