<p>In a candid video shared by Grande, she can be seen lying on a couch, reflecting on her emotions as the album nears completion. She said, &ldquo;<em>I&rsquo;m so tired! I&rsquo;m so happy and grateful. I also feel like I weigh 3,000 tons. Like, the idea of moving is impossible. I can&rsquo;t fathom.</em>&rdquo;</p>
<p>Grande has not only hinted at the completion of AG7 but has also removed her current YouTube profile picture, signaling a new era for the singer.</p>
