Ariana Grande-Butera (/.ɑːriˈɑːnə ˈɡrɑːndeɪ bjʊˈtɛərə/ ^ⓘ AR-ee-AH-nə GRAHN-day byuu-TAIR-ə;^{[note 1]} born June 26, 1993) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Regarded as a pop icon and an influential figure in popular music, Grande is known for her four-octave vocal range, which extends into the whistle register.

Grande began her career as a teenage actress by appearing in the Broadway musical 13 (2008), and rose to fame as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series Victorious (2010–2013) and its spin-off series Sam & Cat (2013–2014). She signed with Republic Records and released her retro-pop and R&B-influenced debut studio album, Yours Truly (2013), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Grande blended pop, R&B, and electronic on her second and third albums, My Everything (2014) and Dangerous Woman (2016), both of which contained the internationally successful singles "Problem", "Break Free", "Bang Bang", "One Last Time", "Into You" and "Side to Side".

Personal struggles influenced Grande's trap-infused albums Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019). The former won Grande her first Grammy award, while the latter garnered US number-one singles "Thank U, Next" and "7 Rings", and made her the first solo artist to occupy the top three spots of the Billboard Hot 100. She subsequently achieved the most number-one debuts in Hot 100 chart history with the title track of her sixth album, Positions (2020), as well as the collaborations "Stuck with U" and "Rain on Me". With the remixes of the Weeknd's "Save Your Tears" and "Die for You", she broke the record for the most number-one duets in the US. After a musical hiatus, Grande released her seventh album, Eternal Sunshine (2024), which spawned the US number-one singles "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)". She returned to film acting with the political satire Don't Look Up (2021) and received critical praise for her portrayal of Glinda in the fantasy musical Wicked (2024), earning her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Among the world's best-selling music artists, Grande has sold over 90 million records worldwide and is the fifth-highest-certified digital singles female artist. Her accolades include two Grammy Awards, a Brit Award, two Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, ten MTV Video Music Awards, and thirty-seven Guinness World Records. With six Billboard 200 number-one albums and nine Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, the magazine named her the ninth-greatest pop star of the 21st century and the most successful female artist to emerge in the 2010s. Forbes ranked her as the world's highest-paid female musician in 2020. She was featured in listicles such as Rolling Stone's greatest singers of all time (2023), Time 100 (2016 and 2019), and Celebrity 100 (2019–2020). Outside of music and acting, Grande 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.

Artistry

[edit]

Musical style

[edit]

Grande's music is generally pop and R&B with elements of EDM, hip hop,^[295]^[296] and trap,^[297] 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,^[298] thanks to her work with record producer Tommy Brown.^[299] 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."^[300] 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.^[301] 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."^[302] 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.^[303]

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.^[304] Her follow-up record, My Everything, explored EDM and electropop genres.^[305] 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").^[306] Trap-pop was more heavily featured on her fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next.^[298] 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.^[307]^[308] Craig Jenkins of Vulture noted that she embraced trap and hip hop with undertones of R&B on Thank U, Next,^[309] with lyrics about breakups, empowerment, and self-love.^[308] Her sixth album, Positions, further emphasized the R&B and trap-pop sound of its two predecessors, with lyrics discussing sex and romance.^[310]^[311]

Influences

[edit]

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.^[312] 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.^[313] 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."^[314] Grande was also influenced vocally by Destiny's Child, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, and Madonna.^[315]^[316] 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.^[317] 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".^[318]^[319]

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.^[308] Heap in particular Grande has said is her favorite musician, songwriter, and producer of all time.^[320]^[321] Grande also named Judy Garland as a childhood influence, admiring her ability to tell "a story when she sings".^[308] 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".^[322] Kotecha told Variety, "we were listening to Lauryn Hill about chord changes and why we stick to four chords all the time".^[323]

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."^[324] 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".^[325]

Voice

[edit]

Grande has been described as a soprano,^[326]^[327]^[328] possessing a four-octave vocal range^[7]^[329] and a whistle register.^[330] With the release of Yours Truly, critics compared Grande's wide vocal range and music to those of Mariah Carey.^[331]^[332] 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."^[333]

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."^[334] 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."^[335]

Public image

[edit]

Grande cited Audrey Hepburn as a major style influence in her early career; however, she later found emulating Hepburn's style "a little boring".^[336] She also drew inspiration from actresses of the 1950s and 1960s, such as Ann-Margret, Nancy Sinatra, and Marilyn Monroe.^[336] 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.^[333] 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."^[337] 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.^[338] She also began regularly wearing cat and bunny ears and, subsequently, oversized jackets and hoodies.^[339]^[340] Grande's style is often imitated by social media influencers and celebrities.^[341]^[342] After years of dyeing her hair red for her role as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon, Grande wore extensions as her hair recovered from damage.^[343]^[344] Anne T. Donahue of MTV News noted that her "iconic" high ponytail has received more attention than her fashion choices.^[345]

Although Grande drew criticism for alleged impolite interactions with reporters and fans in 2014,^[346] she dismissed the reports as "weird, inaccurate depictions".^[347] Rolling Stone wrote: "Some may cry 'diva', but it's also Grande just taking a stand to not allow others to control her image."^[348] 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.^[349] 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.^[350] She later released a video apology for "behaving poorly".^[351] The incident was parodied by The Muppets.^[352] 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]^[353] 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".^[354]

With a large following on social media, Grande is one of the most influential celebrities on the internet.^[355]^[356] As of May 2024^[update], her YouTube channel has over 54 million subscribers, making her among the most-subscribed music artists on the platform.^[357] Her music videos have been viewed a total of over 27 billion times, with eight of them reaching over one billion views;^[358]^[359] two of them have surpassed over two billion views,^[360] with Grande's highest-viewed video having over 2.2 billion views on YouTube.^[361] Her Spotify profile has amassed over 100 million followers,^[362] making her the fifth-most-followed artist and third-most-followed woman.^[363] She is the sixth-most-followed individual on Instagram,^[364] and was the first woman to surpass 150 million and 200 million followers on the platform.^[365]^[366] She was the most-followed woman on the platform from 2019 to January 2022.^[367]^[368] In December 2021, Grande deleted her Twitter account, which was one of the most-followed accounts on the platform.^[369]^[370] She explained that she "always wanted to say things to [her] fans that were meant for just [her] fans [...] sometimes it would travel in a way that it wasn't intended to [...] where people who don't speak our language would kind of become involved in weird, strange way. I think I was just so sensitive [and] it started taking toll on my relationship to work. I wanted to prioritize being an artist and having a healthy relationship to my fans and to art".^[371] However, she stated that she is "very much [an] 'on the internet' person".^[371]

Often regarded as a pop icon and triple threat entertainer,^[372]^[373] wax figures of Grande are found at Madame Tussauds Wax Museums in major cities around the world, including New York,^[374] Orlando,^[375] Amsterdam,^[376] Bangkok,^[377] Sydney,^[378] Berlin,^[379] London,^[380] Vienna,^[381] Hollywood,^[382] Hong Kong^[383] and Blackpool.^[384]
