Ariana Grande on her upcoming album: 'I f*cking love my new album'

Ariana Grande says her upcoming album holds a big place in her heart.

The singer will unleash her third record 'Dangerous Woman' on May 20.

The US star took to Instagram overnight to pay tribute to her band and fans ahead of the album launch.

Posting a live video, Grande said: "I love & am grateful for my incredible band, this song, my babes, the ability to do what I love, to sing, to make music, and I love this album with all my f*ckin heart."

As previously reported, the singer recently opened up about feminism and how women shouldn't need to define themselves.

She said: "Women can be anything. Are you a good girl or a bad girl? No! I’m a good girl, I’m a bad girl, I’m innocent, I’m sexy, I’m smart, I’m funny - I’m everything. Whatever I feel like wearing that day, it doesn’t define me. It defines what mood I’m in. That applies to all women."
