Ariana Grande-Butera (/ˌɑːriˈɑːnə ˈɡrænd/;[1] born June 26, 1993) is an American singer and actress. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including two Grammy Awards, one Brit Award, two Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, nine MTV Video Music Awards, and 22 Guinness World Records.

Born in Boca Raton, Florida, Grande began her career at age 15 in the 2008 Broadway musical 13. She rose to fame for her role as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series Victorious (2010–2013) and Sam & Cat (2013–2014). She subsequently signed with Republic Records in 2011 after the label's executives discovered YouTube videos of her covering songs. Her 1950s doo-wop-influenced pop and R&B debut album,[2] Yours Truly (2013), topped the US Billboard 200 chart, while its lead single, "The Way", charted in the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100. Upon release, critics compared Grande to Mariah Carey for her wide vocal range and whistle register.

Grande maintained her pop and R&B sound on her second and third studio albums, My Everything (2014), and Dangerous Woman (2016), with the former exploring EDM and producing the UK number-one singles "Problem", and "Bang Bang", and the latter becoming her first of four consecutive number-one albums in the UK Albums Chart. Her personal struggles influenced her trap-infused fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019), which were both critical and commercial successes. The former won Grande a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, while the latter broke the record for the largest streaming week for a pop album, and was nominated for the Album of the Year.[3] The singles "Thank U, Next", "7 Rings", and "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" made Grande the first solo artist to hold the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously, and the first woman to succeed herself at the top of the UK. In 2020, her collaborations "Stuck with U" with Justin Bieber and "Rain on Me" with Lady Gaga helped her break the record for most number-one debuts on the Hot 100, while the latter won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Grande's R&B-influenced sixth studio album, Positions (2020), and its title track, debuted at number-one in the UK and US. In 2021, Grande was featured on the remix of The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears", which became her sixth number-one in the US.

Grande has earned more than 85 million certified units in the US (studio albums, singles, and collaborations), with all of her studio albums certified platinum or more by the Recording Industry Association of America.[4] She holds several Billboard Hot 100 chart records; among them, she is the only artist to have five number-one debuts, to have their first five number one singles debut at the top spot, to have three number one-debuts in a calendar year, and all lead singles from each of her studio albums debut in the top ten. Having amassed 90 billion consumed streams thus far, Grande is the most streamed female artist ever. She is also the most streamed female artist on Spotify and Apple Music, while being currently the most followed solo female artist on the former, and the most subscribed on YouTube.[5][6][7] She has been included on Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world (2016 and 2019) and on Forbes Celebrity 100 (2019 and 2020), while Billboard has honored her as Woman of the Year (2018), the greatest pop star of 2019,[8] and the most accomplished female artist to debut in the 2010s.[9] Aside from music, Grande has used her platform to advocate for gender, racial, and LGBT equality. Furthermore, she has been the most followed woman on Instagram since 2019.

By age 13, she became serious about pursuing a music career, although she still concentrated on theater.[24] When she first arrived in Los Angeles, California to meet with her managers, she expressed a desire to record an R&B album: "I was like, 'I want to make an R&B album,' They were like 'Um, that's a helluva goal! Who is going to buy a 14-year-old's R&B album?!'"[14] In 2008, Grande was cast in the supporting role of cheerleader Charlotte in the musical 13 on Broadway.[25][26] When she joined the musical, Grande left North Broward Preparatory School, but continued to be enrolled; the school sent materials to her so she could study with tutors.[27] She also sang various times at the New York City jazz club Birdland.[28]

After the first season of Victorious wrapped, Grande wanted to focus on her music career and began working on her debut album in August 2010.[36] To strengthen her vocal range, she began working with vocal coach Eric Vetro.[37] The second season premiered in April 2011 to 6.2 million viewers, becoming the highest rated episode of Victorious.[38] In May 2011, she appeared in Greyson Chance's music video for the song "Unfriend You" from his album Hold On 'til the Night (2011), portraying Chance's ex-girlfriend.

The remix helped the song reach a new peak at number two, the highest-charting song credited to three or more female soloists on the Hot 100 since Christina Aguilera, Mýa, Pink and Lil' Kim's "Lady Marmalade" in 2001.[219] The remix was one of five additional tracks which were included on the deluxe edition of Positions, released on February 19, 2021. On November 13, 2020, Grande made a surprise appearance on the Adult Swim Festival, performing alongside music artist Thundercat, performing his song "Them Changes", which Grande has previously covered.[220] Grande, alongside Jennifer Hudson, would also be featured on a remix of Mariah Carey's 2010 Christmas song, "Oh Santa!". The song was released on December 4, 2020 as part of Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas Special.[221] Grande released the concert film for her Sweetener World Tour, entitled Excuse Me, I Love You on December 21, 2020, exclusively on Netflix.[222]

In March 2021, it was announced that Grande would join the coaching panel of the twenty-first season of The Voice.[223] It was reported that she would receive 20 to 25 million dollars for a season, making her the highest-paid coach in the show's history.[224] Grande appeared on American singer Demi Lovato's seventh album Dancing with the Devil... the Art of Starting Over on the song "Met Him Last Night", which she also wrote.[225] Grande would collaborate with Canadian artist the Weeknd once again on a remix of one of his singles titled "Save Your Tears", which was released on April 23, 2021.[226] The remix reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming both artists' sixth number one single.[227] Grande will appear on Doja Cat's third album Planet Her. The track is called "I Don't Do Drugs" and is set to be released on June 25, 2021.[228]

Artistry

Musical style and genres

Grande's music is generally pop and R&B with elements of EDM, hip hop,[229][230][231][232] and trap,[233][234][235] the latter first appearing prominently on her Christmas & Chill extended play. While consistently maintaining pop-R&B tones, she has increased incorporation of trap into her music as her career has progressed[236] thanks to her work with record producer Tommy Brown.[237] She has worked with Brown on every album 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."[238] Grande learned how to sound engineer and produce because she loves being hands on during every project, and revealed that Mac Miller taught her how to work with Pro Tools.[239] Justin Tranter, a recent collaborator, felt inspired to see how involved Grande is in her music "from the writing to the vision to the storytelling and to even engineering and comping her own vocals."[240] She has co-written several of her songs addressing a wide variety of themes such as love, sex, wealth, breakups, independence, empowerment, self-love and moving on from the past.[241]

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.[242] Her follow-up, My Everything, was described as an evolution from her debut record with a new sound exploring EDM and electropop genres.[243] She followed her pop-R&B sound on her third album, Dangerous Woman, which was praised by the Los Angeles Times for adapting to different styles with the reggae-pop "Side to Side", the dance-pop-influenced "Be Alright", and the fusion of guitar and trap in "Sometimes".[244] Her trap-pop sound is heavily featured on her fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next.[236] Elias Leight of Rolling Stone believes "with her new album Sweetener, she set her sights on conquering trap, savage basslines and jittery swarms of drum programming."[245] She also "embraces the sound of hard-bitten Southern hip-hop" exploring elements of funk music with themes of love and prosperity.[245][246] Craig Jenkins of Vulture wrote that Grande had changed and approached her style to trap and hip hop, filled with R&B undertones on Thank U, Next,[247] with lyrics about breakups, empowerment, and self-love.[246] Her sixth album, Positions, expands on the R&B and trap-pop sound of Sweetener and Thank U, Next, with topics about sex and romance.[248][249]

Influences

Mariah Carey
Whitney Houston

Grande grew up listening mainly to urban pop and 1990s music[230] and says that "Over the Rainbow" was one of the first songs she remembers singing because "Wizard Of Oz was always my favorite movie when I was younger."[250] Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are her biggest 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."[250][251] Alongside Carey and Houston, Grande's other key influences include Celine Dion and Madonna.[252] She reflects on her childhood by posting videos of herself singing songs from Dion's 1997 album Let's Talk About Love on her social media.[253] Grande credits Madonna for "pav[ing] the way for me and also every other female artist" and admitted to being "obsessed with her entire discography".[254][255] 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.[256]

She praised Imogen Heap's "intricate" song structure and named Judy Garland as a childhood influence, admiring the latter's ability to tell "a story when she sings".[246] Musically, Grande admires India.Arie because her "music makes me feel like everything is going to be okay" and loves Brandy's songs because "her riffs are incredibly on point."[246] Destiny's Child and Beyoncé are also major influences and inspirations in her career.[257] She has also expressed admiration for rappers who impact the music industry without a planned release date, telling 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."[233] It inspired her to release "Thank U, Next" without any prior announcement, which The Ringer believes "is more of a Drake move than an Ariana Grande move."[258]

Voice

Grande is a light lyric soprano,[259][260][261][262] possessing a four-octave vocal range[15][263] and a whistle register.[264] With the release of Yours Truly, critics compared Grande to Mariah Carey because of her wide vocal range, sound and musical material.[265][266] 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."[267] Grande responded to the comparisons, "[I]t's a huge compliment, but when you hear my entire album, you'll see that Mariah's sound is much different than mine."[257] Steven J. Horowitz of Billboard wrote in 2014, "With her sophomore album, the 'Problem' singer no longer resembles [Carey] – and that's okay."[266]

Mark Savage of BBC News commented, "Grande is one of pop's most intriguing and gifted singers. A magnetic performer with unrivalled vocal control".[15] In The New York Times, Jon Pareles wrote 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."[268] Composer and playwright Jason Robert Brown addressed Grande 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 extraordinary, versatile, limitless instrument that allows you to shut down every objection and every obstacle."[269]

Public image

Grande cited Audrey Hepburn as a major style influence in her early years of fame, but began to find emulating Hepburn's style "a little boring" as her career has progressed.[270][271] She also drew inspiration from actresses of the 1950s and 1960s, such as Ann-Margret, Nancy Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe.[271] 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.[267] Jim Farber of New York 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."[272] That year, she abandoned her earlier style and began wearing short skirts and crop tops with knee-high boots in performances and on red carpets.[273] She also started incorporating cat and bunny ears regularly into her wardrobe.[274][275] In recent years she started wearing oversized jackets and hoodies.[276][277] Grande's style is often imitated by social media influencers, and celebrities.[278][279][280][281][282][283][284] After years of dyeing her hair red for her role as Cat Valentine, Grande wore extensions as her hair recovered from the damage.[149][285] Anne T. Donahue of MTV News noted that her "iconic" high ponytail has received more attention than her fashion choices.[286]

Although Grande drew criticism for alleged impolite interactions with reporters and fans in 2014,[287] she dismissed these reports as "weird, inaccurate depictions".[288] Rolling Stone wrote: "Some may cry 'diva', but it's also Grande just taking a stand to not allow others to control her image."[289] In July 2015, Grande was 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.[290] She apologized, writing that she is "extremely proud to be an American" and that her comments related to American obesity.[291] She later released a video apology for "behaving poorly".[292] The incident was parodied by The Muppets[293] and featured in Miley Cyrus' Saturday Night Live cover of "My Way", about the regrets of the summer of 2015.[294] Grande herself poked fun at the incident while hosting Saturday Night Live in 2016 by 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."[15][295] In 2020, she revealed that she stopped doing interviews for some time due to fear of her words being misconstrued and her being labeled a "diva".[296]

Grande has a large following on social media.[297] As of January 2021, her YouTube channel has amassed over 45 million subscribers and her music videos have been viewed a total of over nineteen billion times;[298] her Spotify profile has amassed over 55 million followers,[299] ranking her as the second most followed artist and most followed female; her Instagram account has amassed over 215 million followers,[300] ranking her as the second most followed individual and most followed female; her Twitter account has over 80 million followers,[301] making it the eighth most followed account; and her Facebook page has over 40 million followers.[302]

Grande has broken numerous Hot 100 records. Grande has a total of sixteen top ten debuts thus far, beginning with her first single "The Way"; the lead single from each of her first five studio albums have debuted in the top ten, making her the only artist to achieve this.[326] In 2020, she became the first act to have her first five number one singles, "Thank U, Next", "7 Rings", "Stuck With U", "Rain on Me", and "Positions" debut at number one; that year, Grande also broke the record for the most number one debuts.[208] Grande would also become the first artist to have three singles debut at number one on a single calendar year.[217] She later broke the record for most simultaneously-charting songs on the top 40 of the Hot 100 for a female artist with the release of her fifth studio album, Thank U, Next, when eleven of the twelve tracks charted within the region (later surpassed by Billie Eilish).[327] The three singles from Thank U, Next, "7 Rings", "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored", and "Thank U, Next" charted at numbers one, two, and three respectively on the week of February 23, 2019, making Grande the first solo artist to occupy the top three spots of the Billboard Hot 100 and the first artist to do so since the Beatles in 1964.[186] With her album Thank U, Next, Grande set the record for the largest streaming week for a pop album and for a female artist, with 307 million on-demand audio streams.[3] As of May 2021, Grande has 70 entries on the Hot 100, becoming the fourth female artist with the most Hot 100 entries.[328][329]

In 2016 and 2019, Grande was named one of Time's 100 most influential people in the world.[269][330] In 2017, Celia Almeida wrote an article for Miami New Times and believes that of all the biggest pop stars of the past 20 years, Grande has made the most convincing transition "from ingénue to independent female artist."[331] In 2020, Bloomberg named Grande the "first pop diva of the streaming generation".[332]
