They put feud rumors to rest on social media in 2019 However, it didn’t take too long for the feud to come screeching to a halt. It’s unclear exactly how fences were mended, but Grande, still a big fan of Carey, shared a photo of the “queen of everything” for her birthday in March 2019, writing, “loved u then, love u now, love u tomorrow.” Carey shared it in her own Instagram Story, adding, “Thank you dahhhhling!!” Since then, they’ve continued to interact. Grande nominated Carey for the All-In Challenge in May 2020. And Carey wished Grande happy birthday on her 27th in June 2020. It looks as though everything is fine between the two chart-topping singers even as Grande’s music soared to new heights. Singer Ariana Grande has become one of the biggest pop stars of the present day. Of those that paved the way for her, Mariah Carey is often cited. As the media likes to draw comparisons between them, there’s been tension in the past. Now, here’s a look at one notable triumph they share. There have been many reasons to compare them over the years. Besides their similar vocal ranges, Grande has multiple butterfly tattoos, while Carey likes the insect so much she named her 1997 album Butterfly. While Grande has long expressed her love of the pop diva, covering songs like her 1991 single “Emotions.” http://instagram.com/p/CCoRCHnp1CK But this is where the trouble started. According to ex-husband, Nick Cannon, Carey liked the cover. He told VladTV in 2018 that because he knew Grande through Nickelodeon, he “was gonna make this connection happen, and then [people started calling her] the next Mariah Carey.” Neither artist was pleased. However, it didn’t take too long for the feud to come screeching to a halt. It’s unclear exactly how fences were mended, but Grande, still a big fan of Carey, shared a photo of the “queen of everything” for her birthday in March 2019, writing, “loved u then, love u now, love u tomorrow.” Carey shared it in her own Instagram Story, adding, “Thank you dahhhhling!!” Carey was the first female artist to have three No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Hot 100 with her songs “Fantasy,” “One Sweet Day” (with Boyz II Men), and “Honey.” Grande was the second female artist to earn this distinction with singles “Thank U, Next,” “7 Rings,” and “Stuck with U” (with Justin Bieber). But they didn’t share this title for long. Grande and Lady Gaga’s duet “Rain On Me” debuted at No. 1 just weeks later. In fact, with this release, Grande beat another record of Carey’s. She now holds claim to the shortest time for any artist in between No. 1 debuts, at just two weeks.

Ariana Grande is going through the same thing as the rest of us and self-isolating because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Everyone is self-isolating, practicing social distancing when going out to public places, and wearing masks when out in public. No one is immune to the changes the pandemic has brought upon us. We all have to do what we can to keep from spreading this virus to others. Ariana Grande has been spending this time during the self-quarantine with a few of her friends and her new boyfriend, Dalton Gomez. http://instagram.com/p/CCo8BXJlvov Grande and Gomez have been privately and quietly dating since January 2020. After having her last three romantic relationships open and out in the public for everyone to know everything, she wants to keep this relationship as private as possible. Anyone can surely understand this. Especially living the kind of life celebrities like Grande live. Unfortunately, because of some recent photos Grande posted on Instagram of her relaxing poolside at her home in Los Angeles with her dogs by her side, and the position she was lying down in, rumors have started online by some fans about her possibly being pregnant. http://instagram.com/p/CCo8BXJlvov It's quite possible the way she is lying down. She is lying down with her knees bent. Because of this, fans see what they think is a baby bump in her belly. Of course, although it is possible for her to be pregnant since she is a human being with a boyfriend and a healthy relationship, it is also possible is is because of the way her knees are bent. It's also possible she may have just gained a tiny bit of weight to show a little bit of a belly.

On the heels of BLACKPINK's new song announcement, fans have already begun speculating on who the mystery guest feature could be — and the current frontrunner is none other than Ariana Grande. The buzz started yesterday after the K-pop superstars took to their social media accounts with an exciting update about a new track set to debut in August. And while the girls didn't say much more about the second single from their highly anticipated forthcoming album, it didn't take long for people to start wondering who exactly the "Featuring?" teaser could be referring to. That said, as Stylecaster reported, Grande is currently one of the most popular theories thanks to a little tidbit provided by producer Tommy Brown, who's helped out on hits like "7 Rings" and "Thank U Next." http://instagram.com/p/CC9rTUHj4EO In an interview with PopCrave from last month, Brown said that he had traveled to Korea in the past year to work with BLACKPINK on new music. "I have music with them that's really, really incredible," Brown said. "I think the world is going to love them. I also worked with Ariana Grande, you've seen some of it online. But we have incredible records with both acts. Right now is the time I've been my most creative!" And while it's possible that he was referencing two completely different albums, a number of internet sleuths haven't ruled out the idea that there could possibly be some overlap. Guess we'll just have to wait and see! In the meantime though, check out BLACKPINK's latest announcement for yourself, below.

Ariana Grande was born and raised in Florida. While Florida is known for having a large Latino population, Ariana herself comes from an Italian family. More specifically, her family is from southern Italy, and she identifies as half Sicilian and half Abruzzese. Her full name is Ariana Grande-Butera. Her name doesn’t immediately sound Italian, so it’s understandable that fans may have thought that she was Latina. Some have said that Grande’s fake tan isn’t a sign of her trying to fake her race, as many Italians do have darker skin. However, there’s a clear difference between her current fake tan and her original skin tone. In her initial performances as Charlotte in the Broadway musical 13, she had no fake tan, and in her role on Victorious, she looked pretty pale. http://instagram.com/p/CB88pzUFklw The Fake Tan and Blackfishing After “thank u, next” Grande kept her fake tan. Her next video, “7 Rings,” received even more criticism for cultural appropriation. On top of wearing the spray tan, Grande sings the refrain “you like my hair?/gee thanks, just bought it.” Conversations about wearing hair extensions and weaves are common to the Black community, and wearing expensive hair can be a point of pride for Black women specifically. While lots of people wear hair extensions, the fake tan, references to buying hair, and use of hip hop instrumentals and tropes in the song have led some to accuse Grande of “blackfishing,” reports The Tempest. This controversy is accentuated by the fact that Grande’s lyrics and flow are suspiciously similar to that of rapper Princess Nokia. Blackfishing is a recently coined term, and it’s a portmanteau of “Black” and “catfishing.” Someone who blackfishes isn’t typically overt in their actions with something like full blackface, or saying they’re Black, but they will try to imply a connection to the Black community that doesn’t exist. This is done through invocations of Black culture, the use of African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), and even changes to personal appearance. There’s nothing wrong with a non-Black person enjoying Black culture, but it becomes problematic when they take from the culture without understanding Black history and the oppression that comes with being Black. Grande’s blackfishing has caused some fans to lose their respect for the singer.

Just 26 days until the Nov. 3 election, artists are pulling out all the stops to get voters to the polls, from themed playlists to autographed vinyl from Billie Eilish and all-star virtual concerts.
But on Wednesday (Oct. 7), Ariana Grande and Lorde tried to shake some votes loose by offering up the greatest gift of all: new music.
As spotted by Vulture, both singers took to Instagram to tease fresh tracks while reminding their followers to exercise their right to choose their nation's next leader.
"Turning in these mixes and reminding u again to register to vote if u haven't already/to vote early," Grande said, along with a sideways image of her face with a pile of instruments behind her.
In a series of recent tweets, Grande has been working with HeadCount to remind fans to register to vote or to vote early if they can.
