Ariana Grande-Butera[note 1] (born June 26, 1993) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Regarded as a pop icon, she is noted as an influential figure in popular music and as one of the most prominent vocalists of her generation for her four-octave vocal range and signature whistle register. Grande has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including one Brit Award, two Grammy Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, nine MTV Video Music Awards, and 35 Guinness World Records. Rolling Stone ranked her amongst the greatest singers of all time.

Grande began her career at age 15 by appearing in the Broadway musical 13 (2008). She rose to prominence for her performance as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series Victorious (2010–2013), as well as the spin-off follow-up series Sam & Cat (2013–2014), and signed with Republic Records in 2011. Grande's debut studio album, Yours Truly (2013), incorporated retro-pop and R&B elements and yielded the successful single "The Way". My Everything (2014), her second album, experimented with EDM and catapulted her to worldwide stardom through the singles "Problem", "Break Free", and "Bang Bang". Grande further explored pop and R&B with her third album Dangerous Woman (2016), which solidified her critical and commercial success.

Personal struggles influenced Grande's trap-infused fourth and fifth albums, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019). The former won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, while the latter broke several streaming records and was nominated for Album of the Year. Thank U, Next garnered two Billboard Hot 100 number-one songs with its title track and "7 Rings", and made Grande the first solo artist to simultaneously occupy the top three positions on the chart. She broke the record for the most number-one debuts in Hot 100 history with the title track of her trap-influenced sixth album, Positions (2020), and the collaborations "Stuck with U" with Justin Bieber and "Rain on Me" with Lady Gaga, the latter of which won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Grande ventured into dance music on her seventh album, Eternal Sunshine (2024), which produced the number-one singles "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)". She returned to acting with the political satire Don't Look Up (2021), and will star as Glinda in the upcoming two-part film adaptation of Wicked (2024–2025).

Among the world's best-selling music artists, Grande has sold over 90 million records; all of her studio albums have been certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Having amassed 98 billion streams thus far, Grande is one of the most-streamed artists of all time and the most-streamed female artist, as of 2021. She was the most-streamed female act of the 2010s and has the most songs with over a billion streams for a woman, with 14 on Spotify. Grande also has a large social media following; with over 380 million followers, she is the sixth-most-followed individual on Instagram and one of the most-subscribed and most followed musicians on YouTube and Spotify. She was named Woman of the Year (2018) and the most successful female artist to debut in the 2010s by Billboard, featured in listicles such as Time 100 (2016 and 2019), Forbes Celebrity 100 (2019–2020), and ranked the highest-paid female musician of 2020 by Forbes.

It ranked as the second best-performing song of the year on the Billboard year-end Hot 100 chart of 2021.[209] Grande and the Weeknd performed "Save Your Tears" together at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards.[210] On February 24, 2023, following months-long renewed interest in and virality of the Weeknd's 2016 song "Die for You," a remix of the song with Grande was released. The remix marked their fourth collaboration.[211][212] In the Billboard Hot 100 issue dated March 11, 2023, the remix reached the top of the chart, becoming both artists' seventh number one hit.[213] According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), it was the fourth best-selling song of 2023 globally.[214] In June, Grande featured on the song "I Don't Do Drugs" from Doja Cat's third studio album Planet Her.[215] Her contribution as a songwriter and featured artist on the song earned Grande a nomination for Album of the Year at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. Later that month, she debuted seven live performances on Vevo.[216] Grande performed virtually as the headline act of the "Rift Tour" on the video game Fortnite from August 6 to 8, 2021.[217] Forbes estimated that Grande would earn over $20 million from merchandise sales alone.[218] The concert attracted 78 million players, beating Travis Scott's record of 11.7 million views for his own concert, and helped fuel a spike in streams for the songs included in her set.[219][220] In September 2021, she joined as a coach of the twenty-first season of The Voice; Grande became the highest-paid coach in the show's history, earning a reported $25 million per season.[221] With the elimination of father-son duo Jim and Sasha Allen in the semifinals, Grande was the only coach that season to not be represented in the finale.

Artistry

Musical style

Grande's music is generally pop and R&B with elements of EDM, hip hop,[242][243] and trap,[244] the latter first appearing prominently on her Christmas & Chill extended play. While consistently maintaining pop and R&B tones, she has increasingly incorporated trap into her music as her career has progressed,[245] thanks to her work with record producer Tommy Brown.[246] She has collaborated with Brown on every album thus far and stated that "one of the things I love most about working with Tommy is that none of the beats he plays me ever sound the same."[247] Grande learned how to sound engineer and produce her own vocals because she "love[s] being hands on" with every project, revealing that rapper Mac Miller first taught her how to use the digital audio workstation Pro Tools.[248] Collaborator Justin Tranter remarked that he felt inspired seeing how involved Grande is in creating her music "from the writing to the vision to the storytelling and to even engineering and comping her own vocals."[249] She has co-written songs addressing a wide variety of themes, such as love, sex, wealth, breakups, independence, empowerment, self-love and moving on from the past.[250]

Grande's debut album Yours Truly was complimented for recreating the R&B "vibe and feel of the 90s" with the help of songwriter and producer Babyface.[251] Her follow-up record, My Everything, explored EDM and electropop genres.[252] Grande expanded the pop and R&B sound on her third album, Dangerous Woman, which was praised by the Los Angeles Times for integrating elements of different styles, such as reggae-pop ("Side to Side"), dance-pop ("Be Alright"), and guitar-trap fusion ("Sometimes").[253] Trap-pop was more heavily featured on her fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next.[245] Elias Leight of Rolling Stone opined that Grande "set her sights on conquering trap, savage basslines and jittery swarms of drum programming" and "embrace[d] the sound of hard-bitten Southern hip-hop" on Sweetener, exploring funk music with themes of love and prosperity.[254][255] Craig Jenkins of Vulture noted that she embraced trap and hip hop with undertones of R&B on Thank U, Next,[256] with lyrics about breakups, empowerment, and self-love.[255] Her sixth album, Positions, further emphasized the R&B and trap-pop sound of its two predecessors, with lyrics discussing sex and romance.[257][258]

Influences

Mariah Carey
Whitney Houston
Grande credits Mariah Carey (left) and Whitney Houston (right) as her major vocal influences.

Grande grew up listening mainly to urban pop and 1990s music.[259] She credited Gloria Estefan with inspiring her to pursue a music career after Estefan saw and complimented Grande's performance on a cruise ship when she was eight years old.[260] Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are her primary vocal influences: "I love Mariah Carey. She is literally my favorite human being on the planet. And of course Whitney [Houston] as well. As far as vocal influences go, Whitney and Mariah pretty much cover it."[261][262] Grande was also influenced vocally by Destiny's Child, Beyoncé,[263] Celine Dion and Madonna.[264] She reflected on her childhood by posting videos of herself singing songs from Dion's 1997 album Let's Talk About Love on her social media.[265] Grande credits Madonna with "pav[ing] the way for me and also every other female artist" and admitted to being "obsessed with her entire discography".[266][267]

Musically, Grande admires India Arie because her "music makes me feel like everything is going to be okay", loves Brandy's songs because "her riffs are incredibly on point," and praised Imogen Heap's "intricate" song structure.[255] Grande also named Judy Garland as a childhood influence, admiring her ability to tell "a story when she sings",[255] and named "Over the Rainbow" as one of the first songs she remembers singing because "Wizard Of Oz was always my favorite movie when I was younger."[261] Music producer and collaborator Savan Kotecha stated that he and Grande were influenced by Lauryn Hill when creating her fourth album Sweetener and its lead single "No Tears Left to Cry".[268] Kotecha told Variety, "we were listening to Lauryn Hill about chord changes and why we stick to four chords all the time".[269]

Grande expressed admiration for rappers' unconventional music release strategy. She told Billboard, "My dream has always been to be—obviously not a rapper, but, like, to put out music in the way that a rapper does. I feel like there are certain standards that pop women are held to that men aren't ... It's just like, 'Bruh, I just want to ... drop [music] the way these boys do."[270] It inspired her to release "Thank U, Next" without any prior announcement, which The Ringer called "more of a Drake move than an Ariana Grande move."[271]

Voice

Grande has been described as a soprano,[272][273][274] possessing a four-octave vocal range[7][275] and a whistle register.[276] With the release of Yours Truly, critics compared Grande's wide vocal range and music to those of Mariah Carey.[277][278] Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Billboard wrote that both Carey and Grande have "the talent to let their vocals do the talking ... that's not where the similarities end. ... Grande is subverting it with cute, comfortable, and on-trend dresses with a feminine slant."[279] Grande called the comparisons "a huge compliment" but noted sonic differences in her and Carey's discographies.[263] Steven J. Horowitz of Billboard wrote in 2014, "With her sophomore album, the 'Problem' singer no longer resembles [Carey]—and that's okay."[278]

Mark Savage of BBC News named Grande "one of pop's most intriguing and gifted singers" and complimented her "unrivalled vocal control".[7] In The New York Times, Jon Pareles noted that Grande's voice "can be silky, breathy or cutting, swooping through long melismas or jabbing out short R&B phrases; it's always supple and airborne, never forced."[280] Composer and playwright Jason Robert Brown wrote in a 2016 Time magazine article, "[N]o matter how much you are underestimated ... you are going to open your mouth and that unbelievable sound is going to come out. That [...] instrument [...] allows you to shut down every objection and every obstacle."[281]

Public image

Grande cited Audrey Hepburn as a major style influence in her early career; however, she later found emulating Hepburn's style "a little boring".[282] She also drew inspiration from actresses of the 1950s and 1960s, such as Ann-Margret, Nancy Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe.[282] Grande's modest look early in her career was described as "age appropriate" in comparison to contemporary artists who grew up in the public eye.[279] Jim Farber of New York's Daily News wrote in 2014 that Grande received less attention "for how little she wears or how graphically she moves than for how she sings."[283] That year, she abandoned her earlier style in favor of short skirts and crop tops with knee-high boots in live performances and red carpet events.[284] She also began regularly wearing cat and bunny ears and, subsequently, oversized jackets and hoodies.[285][286][287] Grande's style is often imitated by social media influencers and celebrities.[288][289] After years of dyeing her hair red for her role as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon, Grande wore extensions as her hair recovered from damage.[127][290] Anne T. Donahue of MTV News noted that her "iconic" high ponytail has received more attention than her fashion choices.[291]

Although Grande drew criticism for alleged impolite interactions with reporters and fans in 2014,[292] she dismissed the reports as "weird, inaccurate depictions".[293] Rolling Stone wrote: "Some may cry 'diva', but it's also Grande just taking a stand to not allow others to control her image."[294] In July 2015, Grande sparked controversy after being seen on surveillance video in a doughnut shop licking doughnuts that were on display and saying "I hate Americans. I hate America. This is disgusting", referring to a tray of doughnuts.[295] She subsequently apologized, saying that she is "EXTREMELY proud to be an American" and that her comments rather referred to obesity in the United States.[296] She later released a video apology for "behaving poorly".[297] The incident was parodied by The Muppets,[298] and featured in Miley Cyrus's Saturday Night Live cover of "My Way", about the regrets of the Summer 2015.[299] Grande herself poked fun at the incident while hosting Saturday Night Live in 2016, saying, "A lot of kid stars end up doing drugs, or in jail, or pregnant, or get caught licking a doughnut they didn't pay for."[7][300] In 2020, she said that she stopped doing interviews for a while out of fear that her words would be misconstrued and that she would be labeled a "diva".[301]

Grande has released thirteen fragrances with Luxe Brands. She launched her debut fragrance, Ari by Ariana Grande, in 2015. In the wake of its success, she launched her third fragrance, Sweet Like Candy, in 2016.[448] Her fifth fragrance, Moonlight, was released in 2017, followed by Cloud (2018), Thank U, Next (2019), R.E.M. (2020), and God Is A Woman (2021), which was later expanded to a body care line.[449] She then released the duo fragrance collection Mod Vanilla and Mod Blush (2022).[450] The line also includes the limited editions Frankie (2016), Sweet Like Candy Limited Edition (2017), Thank U, Next 2.0, Cloud Intense (both 2021), and Cloud Pink (2023). The fragrances won the FiFi Award multiple times, most recently with R.E.M. in 2021. In 2022, it was reported that Cloud was the best-selling fragrance at Ulta, selling one bottle every eleven minutes.[451] Grande's fragrance line is the most-searched celebrity offering, with 4.4 million searches across Google and social media platforms per year.[452] Since its launch in 2015, the franchise has made $1 billion in retail sales globally.[453][454]

R.E.M. Beauty

In November 2021, Grande launched her makeup line R.E.M. Beauty, which is distributed at Ulta Beauty as of March 2022.[455][456] The original line featured 12 core products for lips and eyes, and the range has since been expanded with additional skincare and makeup products.[457][458] Forbes reported in 2022 that R.E.M. Beauty was one of the brands boosting Ulta's driving gross margin due to strong consumer demand.[459] In May, the line won "Best New Brand" at the Allure Best of Beauty Awards.[460] In February 2023, it was announced, that the brand will be launching in 81 Sephora stores and 13 online sites, including across Europe.[461]

Personal life

Grande has said she struggled with hypoglycemia, which she attributed to poor dietary habits.[462] She has been a vegan since 2013.[463][464] Fans questioned in 2019 whether she was still a vegan after working with Starbucks to create a special edition of one of her favorite drinks which was revealed to contain eggs. Her nutritionist, Harley Pasternak, told the magazine Glamour that Grande is vegan but that he has got her to "feel OK about indulging and celebrating sometimes".[465]

Grande developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety after the Manchester Arena bombing; she nearly pulled out of her performance in the 2018 broadcast A Very Wicked Halloween due to anxiety.[466] Grande has also said she has been in therapy for over a decade, having first seen a mental health professional shortly after her parents' divorce.[467]

Grande was raised Roman Catholic, but left the church during the pontificate of Benedict XVI (circa 2013),[468] opposing its stance on homosexuality[5] and noting that her half-brother Frankie is gay.[469] Grande stated that she and Frankie later visited a Kabbalah Centre and that they both "really had a connection with it."[469][470] Several of her songs, such as "Break Your Heart Right Back", are supportive of LGBT rights.[471] She has also been labeled "an advocate for a sex-positive attitude".[472] In November 2019, Grande endorsed Bernie Sanders' second presidential bid.[473]

Forbes began reporting on Grande's earnings in July 2019.[474] She purchased a mansion in Hollywood Hills for $13.7 million in June 2020.[475] Grande owned a penthouse in Lower Manhattan, which was sold for $13.5 million, in 2021.[476] In September 2022, Grande put her Montecito, California house, which had a break-in three months before, up for sale. The mansion was reported to have sold for $9.1 million.[477][478]

Relationships

Grande met actor Graham Phillips in the cast of the Broadway musical 13 in 2008 and dated him until 2011.[479][480] Grande was later involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with Australian YouTuber Jai Brooks from August 2012 to July 2013; the two resumed their relationship from May to August 2014.[481] She dated English singer Nathan Sykes between August and December 2013,[482] and then dated rapper Big Sean from October 2014 to April 2015.[483]

After recording "The Way" with rapper Mac Miller in 2012, the two began dating in 2016.[484][485][486] Grande was featured on Miller's single "My Favorite Part" from his album The Divine Feminine (2016);[487] she also provided an uncredited introduction to the album and was the inspiration behind its fifth track, "Cinderella".[488] By May 2018, their relationship had ended and Grande entered a whirlwind romance with comedian Pete Davidson.[489] They got engaged in June, after a few weeks of dating, while a song titled after and inspired by Davidson was featured on Grande's album Sweetener (2018).[490] That September, Miller died from an accidental drug overdose; Grande expressed grief over his death on social media and called him her "dearest friend".[491] She and Davidson called off their engagement and ended their relationship the following month.[492]

Grande began dating real estate agent Dalton Gomez in January 2020.[493] Their relationship, while mostly private, was made public in May 2020, in the music video of her and Justin Bieber's charity single "Stuck With U".[494] Grande announced their engagement on December 20, 2020, after 11 months of dating.[495] On May 15, 2021, they married in a private ceremony at her home in Montecito, California.[496] Her wedding pictures became among the most-liked Instagram posts, with over 25 million likes.[497][498] The couple separated on February 20, 2023,[499] and simultaneously filed for divorce in September, citing "irreconcilable differences".[500][501] Grande and Gomez agreed on a divorce settlement in October 2023, which was finalized in March 2024. Because the couple had a prenuptial agreement, no children, and no significant legal disputes in their split, their divorce moved quickly and cleanly in the court system and only had to wait the required six months before a judge's order could take effect.[502][503] Under their settlement, Grande was ordered to make a one-time payment of $1.25 million to Gomez with no future alimony, give him half of the proceeds of the sale of their Los Angeles home, and pay up to $25,000 towards his attorney's fees.[503]
