Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber are teasing a “special announcement” that will apparently arrive at 5pm GMT.

Bieber tweeted: “Special announcement tomorrow at 10am PST…”

Grande then quote-tweeted Bieber’s post and added: “See you there everybody.”

Their manager, Scooter Braun, followed this with a tagged post that featured the “eyes” emoji.

The two pop stars have collaborated on a number of occasions, usually during live performances or remixes of their respective singles.

Bieber released his latest album, Changes, earlier this year. The album received mixed to negative reviews from critics, with The Independent giving it two stars.

“This isn’t so much an album that would rile you to the point of turning it off. Rather, it washes over you, with its mostly average beats (‘Forever’ is a rare exception) and seemingly random cluster of guest features – Post Malone, Travis Scott, the comedian-rapper Lil Dicky...” The Independent’s review said.

“For all Bieber’s talk of change, this album… suggests he hasn’t come all that far since the days of ‘baby, baby, baby, oh’.”

Grande’s last album, Thank U Next, was released to positive reviews last year.
