The global superstar shared a snippet of the film she stars alongside John Goodman, James Corden, Nick Offerman and Sandra Oh. She is also a producer of Smurfs and has taken to social media to share, “new #SmurfsMovie trailer 🩵 featuring “Friend Of Mine” from the Smurfs soundtrack out friday. pre-save now.”
Comments sections flooded with excitement from her fans who appear to be glad that she is releasing new music one way or another. One user writes, “atleast she’s in the studio,” while another said “this is the closest so we’ll take it babe.”
