Ariana Grande: Movies, Awards & Box Office

Ariana Grande‑Butera (born June 26 1993 in Boca Raton, Florida) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress renowned for her four‑octave whistle‑register voice and her influence on 21st‑century pop music. Her career launched on Broadway in the 2008 musical 13 before she became a teen idol as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s Victorious and its spin‑off Sam & Cat. After signing with Republic Records, she released the retro‑inspired debut album Yours Truly (2013), which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and introduced her signature blend of 1950s doo‑wap and modern R&B. Subsequent albums—My Everything (2014), Dangerous Woman (2016), Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019)—expanded her sound into EDM, trap, and pop, yielding multiple chart‑topping singles such as “Problem,” “No Tears Left to Cry,” “7 Rings,” and the record‑breaking “Thank U, Next.” She earned two Grammy Awards, a Brit Award, and dozens of other honors while becoming one of the best‑selling music artists of all time with over 90 million records sold. Beyond music, Grande has acted in films like Don’t Look Up (2021) and starred as Glinda in the 2024 cinematic adaptation of Wicked, receiving an Academy Award nomination for her performance. Her entrepreneurial ventures include the cosmetics line R.E.M. Beauty and a lucrative fragrance brand that has generated over $1 billion in sales. A vocal advocate for mental‑health awareness, animal rights, and LGBTQ + equality, she leverages her massive social‑media following—over 150 million Instagram followers—to promote charitable causes and inspire a new generation of artists. Despite a publicized personal life, including her 2021 marriage to Dalton Gomez and a 2024 divorce, she has no children to date.
