Ariana Grande Facts

Ariana Grande-Butera is a 25 year old American singer and songwriter as well as an actress who was born in Boca Raton, Florida. Ariana has acted as the character named Cat who was from a hit show around 2008. People liked Cat so much Ariana's character recieved her own TV show on Nickelodeon with Janette McCurdy who played as another character from a similar show called ICarly which starred Miranda Cosgrove. Both shows were of couse as expected directed by the same person, Dan Schneider. Cat was a red-haired, cute, sometimes odd and clumsy character best friends with a girl named Sam. The show that Ariana was able to star on was called Sam and Cat, to know one's surprise :)

In 2013, Ari released her first studio album titled Yours Truly. It featured singles such as, "The Way" featuring Mac Miller, "Right There", and "Almost Is Never Enough" featuring Nathan Sykes.

Her second studio album titled, "My Everything", featured hits including "Problem", "One Last Time", "Break Free", and "Bang Bang" featuring Nicki Minaj and Jessie J. She soon after went on her first tour, The Honeymoon Tour. She toured mostly around the US but also left country touring places like Japan and the United Kingdom.

Ariana released her third studio album in May 2016 which definitely started to show people she was maturing in music with the album titled Dangerous Woman. It includes hits like "Dangerous Woman" and "Side to Side" featuring Nicki Minaj. Ariana shortly after toured for the second time at her Dangerous Woman World Tour which unfortunately was bombed on May 22nd, 2017. (PS By this time Ari was definitely getting a bit known for her signature ponytail which she still wears now in 2019.)

Ariana released her first song after 2 years with her brand new low platinum ponytail which only lasted for a short period. The new song was titled "No Tears Left To Cry". It hit about 50 million views on youtube with her music video which was also released on April 19, 2018 along with the song. She continued to release a couple more songs before her fourth studio album which were titled, "Breathin", "God is a Woman" and "The Light is Coming" featuring Nicki Minaj which were all released before the album.

Shortly after releasing her couple pre-album songs, Ariana released her fourth album titled "Sweetener" on August 20th, 2018. It included of course all of the songs I talked about earlier and then some more of course. Ari's ex and best friend Malcolm Miller passed away due to an apparent overdose. Ariana unfortunately was blamed for his death by many. Some people even made instagram accounts that were all about how Grande killed Mac and how it was her fault he had died. Ari took some time and before the new year released two songs titled "Thank U, Next" and "Imagine".

Right after the new year Grande released an extreme hit titled "7 Rings" which stayed as number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for about 8 weeks. She then released a single before the day of her album release called "Break Up with your Girlfriend, I'm Bored". Ariana then released her fifth studio album and most recent album titled "Thank U, Next".

Ariana was also named Billboard Woman of the Year. She also just broke a big record. Grande is the first and so far only solo artist to take the top 1,2,and 3 spots on the Billboard Hot 100. 1. 7 Rings 2. Break up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored, 3. Thank U, Next. The only other group to do so as a band is the Beatles. Ariana also performed at Coachella 2019 and is the youngest artist to headline Coachella.

Ariana is also on her third world tour, the Sweetener/Thank U, Next World Tour. She started in Albany, New York and is still touring around the world and especially in the US.
