BLACKPINK is reportedly working with another foreign artist!
After the previous news was scattered regarding BLACKPINK collaborating with a foreign artist, fans have been trying to guess who the featured artist will be. Although many were correct in imagining Selena Gomez, a lot still hoped that it would be Ariana Grande.
The upcoming single reported being "Ice Cream," now includes Selena Gomez's voice on the forthcoming album, making everyone think that Ariana Grande wouldn't be signing in the track's development.
However, Ariana Grande surprised everyone after she updated her Instagram story upon seeing Tommy Brown's message. She posted the story and attached her own note, naming everyone who'd been working on it: "So proud of the squad, and so proud of this!!! so much love for this team and these ladies!" (via Koreaboo)
It appears that BLINKs will have the collaborative work they wished from BLACKPINK and Ariana Grande — and with Selena Gomez's incredible addition. Now the expectations are much higher for BLACKPINK's upcoming single.
