Ariana Grande-Butera’s journey from Nickelodeon starlet to global pop titan is a masterclass in artistry and resilience. Born June 26, 1993, in Boca Raton, Florida, the 31-year-old singer, songwriter, and actress has redefined pop music with her four-octave vocal range, genre-blending innovation, and raw emotional depth. With her latest release, the deluxe edition of Eternal Sunshine, Grande proves once again why she remains a chart-dominating force.

Grande first captured hearts as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s Victorious (2010-2013) and its spinoff Sam & Cat (2013-2014). But it was her pivot to music that launched her into the stratosphere. Her 2013 debut, Yours Truly, bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, powered by the sultry R&B-pop single “The Way” featuring Mac Miller. Drawing comparisons to Mariah Carey for her whistle-tone prowess, Grande quickly established herself as a vocal powerhouse.

Her sophomore effort, My Everything (2014), cemented her pop dominance with smashes like “Problem” (featuring Iggy Azalea) and “Bang Bang” (with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj), both peaking in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10. Dangerous Woman (2016) followed, showcasing a bolder, more mature sound with hits like “Into You” and the title track, which hit No. 8 on the Hot 100. By then, Grande’s ability to fuse pop with EDM, trap, and hip-hop influences had made her a trendsetter.

In 2018 and 2019, Grande reached new heights with Sweetener and Thank U, Next. The former, featuring the uplifting “No Tears Left to Cry,” earned her a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. The latter, released amid personal turmoil, became a cultural phenomenon, with its title track and “7 Rings” both hitting No. 1 on the Hot 100. Thank U, Next shattered streaming records and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, solidifying Grande as a voice of her generation.

Her sixth album, Positions (2020), debuted at No. 1 with the sultry lead single of the same name topping the Hot 100. Then came Eternal Sunshine (2024), a introspective concept album inspired by the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Led by singles “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Its deluxe edition, out now via arianagrande.lnk.to/esdeluxe, features new tracks like “Supernatural” with Troye Sivan and remixes, diving deeper into themes of love and healing.

Grande’s trophy case is stacked: two Grammys, nine MTV VMAs, three AMAs, and countless other accolades. Her influence extends beyond music—she’s a fashion icon with her r.e.m. beauty line and fragrances, available at shop.arianagrande.com, and a celebrated actress, earning raves as Glinda in 2024’s Wicked film adaptation.

Despite personal and professional challenges, including the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing at her concert, Grande’s resilience shines. A fierce advocate for mental health, LGBTQ+ rights, and racial equality, she connects with her legion of Arianators via Instagram (instagram.com/arianagrande), Twitter (twitter.com/arianagrande), and Facebook (facebook.com/arianagrande).
