Ariana Grande
Bio
Ariana Grande-Butera began her career as a child actress on Broadway and Nickelodeon before transforming into one of the most formidable vocalists and pop stars of her generation. She first gained recognition as Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon series Victorious (2010–2013) and its spin-off Sam & Cat (2013–2014). While still acting, she began posting covers on YouTube, leading to her debut album Yours Truly (2013), which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the platinum single "The Way" featuring Mac Miller. Her whistle-register vocals and 1950s-inspired doo-wop quickly evolved into mainstream pop dominance with My Everything (2014), featuring the smash hits "Problem" (featuring Iggy Azalea) and "Break Free" (featuring Zedd). Over the next decade, Grande became a streaming juggernaut, releasing Dangerous Woman (2016), Sweetener (2018)—which won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album—and the record-breaking Thank U, Next (2019), which spawned her first No. 1 singles "thank u, next," "7 rings," and "break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored." Beyond music, she served as a coach on The Voice (2021), launched the successful cosmetics line r.e.m. beauty, and returned to acting with a critically acclaimed performance as Glinda in Jon M. Chu's Wicked (2024). Known for her four-octave vocal range, her resilience following the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing (for which she organized the "One Love Manchester" benefit concert), and her high-profile relationships, Ariana Grande has become a pop culture phenomenon whose vocal prowess and emotional transparency continue to set her apart.
