About Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande-Butera ( AR-ee-AH-nə GRAHN-day byuu-TAIR-ə; born June 26, 1993) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Known for her four-octave vocal range, which extends into the whistle register, she is regarded as an influential figure in popular music. Publications such as Rolling Stone and Billboard have deemed Grande one of the greatest artists in history while Time included her on its Time 100 list of the world's most influential people in 2016 and 2019. Grande's career began as a teenager in the Broadway musical 13 (2008) before gaining prominence as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series Victorious (2010–2013) and its spin-off Sam & Cat (2013–2014). After signing with Republic Records, she released her debut studio album, Yours Truly (2013), a retro-inspired pop and R&B record that debuted atop the Billboard 200. Grande incorporated elements of electronic on her next two albums, My Everything (2014) and Dangerous Woman (2016), which both achieved international success, spawning the singles "Problem", "Break Free", "Bang Bang", "One Last Time", "Into You" and "Side to Side". Grande delved into trap on the albums Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019). The former won Grande her first Grammy Award, while the latter garnered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Thank U, Next" and "7 Rings". With the title track of Positions (2020), as well as the collaborations "Stuck with U" and "Rain on Me", she achieved the most number-one debuts in the U.S. After a musical hiatus, she explored dance on Eternal Sunshine (2024), which yielded the U.S. number-one songs "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)". She returned to film with political satire Don't Look Up (2021) and received critical acclaim for starring as Glinda in the fantasy musical Wicked (2024), earning an Academy Award nomination. Grande is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of over 90 million records, and was the highest-paid female musician in 2020 according to Forbes. Among other accolades, she has received two Grammy Awards, a Brit Award, two Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, 39 Guinness World Records, and ten MTV Video Music Awards. Six of Grande's albums have reached number one on the Billboard 200, while nine of her songs have topped the Billboard Hot 100. She has worked with many charitable organizations and advocates for animal rights, mental health, and gender, racial, and LGBT equality. Her business ventures include R.E.M. Beauty, a cosmetics brand launched in 2021, and a fragrance line that has earned over $1 billion in global retail sales. She has a large social media following, being the sixth-most-followed individual on Instagram.
