The pop star and coffee chain have released the Cloud Macchiato. The new treat "combines the craft of Starbucks espresso, the heritage of Starbucks Caramel Macchiato (created in 1996) and the innovation of Starbucks Cold Foam, an airy microfoam frothed cold and blended until smooth," the company said in a statement.

The foam, made with egg whites and milk, “creates layers of creamy texture and flavor, without the cream,” the statement continued.

Known as a lover of all things clouds, Grande will serve as brand ambassador. The singer, whose name sounds like a Starbucks drink size, announced the news on Twitter. She posted photos of herself wearing the signature green Starbucks apron while holding the drink.

Starbucks and the “Thank U, Next” songstress teased the collaboration earlier this week, posting cryptic photos of clouds and emojis across social media.

Now the partnership is official.

The Cloud Macchiato is a permanent addition to Starbuck's menu and is available now iced or hot at participating U.S. and Canada stores.
