Ariana Grande has come a long way from her childhood home in Florida. With an impressive 14-year career as a successful chart-topping singer, and most recently announcing her long-awaited beauty line R.E.M, it’s no surprise that the young star has started to build up an impressive property portfolio. Let’s retrace Ariana’s road to fame and step inside the spectacular houses she’s bought, sold and rented along the way. ..
Where does Ariana Grande live?

Having spent time living in Beverly Hills, Toluca Lake and – of course – her hometown of Florida, Ariana Grande has accumulated an incredible collection of jaw-dropping real estate. After trying out the rental market for years, the star is now buying up her own property in Los Angeles in some of the most sought-after and wealthy neighbourhoods. Let’s take a look at her real estate journey…
Ariana Grande’s childhood
@arianagrande / Instagram
Ariana Grande-Butera was born on 26 June 1993 in Boca Raton, Florida. She spent her early years living with her parents Joan Grande and Edward Butera, who had relocated from New York just before having her. Both parents had high-flying careers and Ariana and her half-brother Frankie had a comfortable upbringing. Joan is the CEO of Hose-Mcann Communications and Edward is the CEO of Ibi Designs Inc.
, a successful graphic design company. Her parents divorced in 2003 when Ariana was 10 years old.
Where is Ariana Grande from?
Realtor
Ariana Grande and her family lived in this five-bedroom home in Boca Raton, Florida from 2004. They paid a not insubstantial sum of $1.6 million (£1.1m) at the time, and the property is a mark of how well off The Grandes were. The huge house spreads out over more than 6,000 square feet, on a 0.62-acre lot with two floors and a whole host of enviable features that would have been a dream for any kid growing up in the 1990s.

The whole house is spacious and finished with luxury materials such as marble and hardwood floors, archways, crown mouldings and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden. The gourmet kitchen is fitted out with top-of-the-line appliances, there’s a library, a sauna and a workout room.

Not your average family home, the star grew up in the lap of luxury with access to a swimming pool, home theatre, a soundproof music studio and an observatory with a telescope. The lush tropical grounds also have an outdoor kitchen and bar, and the whole house is hurricane-proof with its own power generator.
Ariana Grande’s big break
@arianagrande / Instagram
From a young age, Ariana was destined for stardom. During her education at North Broward Preparatory School, she began performing on stage. At 15 she secured a role in the Broadway play 13, and after a few more small roles she landed the on-screen debut as Cat in the Nickelodeon TV series, Victorious.

After her acting debut, Ariana followed with the spinoff Sam & Cat which ran between 2013 and 2014.
She then dove headfirst into a chart-topping music career after signing with Republic Records. However, her first single ‘Put Your Hearts Up’, which was released in December 2011, failed to enter any official record chart.

Ariana’s chart debut finally happened in April 2013 with The Way, featuring the late Mac Miller, which peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. Since then, her career has gone from strength to strength. She’s the most listened-to female artist on Spotify and Apple Music and Time named her one of 2019’s most influential people in the world. With the release of her last album thank u, next, in February 2019, Ariana also became the first solo artist to hold the three top spots on America’s Billboard 100 chart.

Instead of jumping straight on the property ladder like these childhood stars, Ariana decided to rent properties around the Los Angeles area.
One of the first was this home in the long-time celebrity haunt of Toluca Lake, which she was reported to have stayed in with her mother, Joan. Filled with mansions and industry professionals, the neighbourhood has been home to fellow child TV stars Miley Cyrus and Hillary Duff.

Built in 2007, the custom-built, gated manor would have been the perfect home for a young pop princess. With 10,000 square feet of interior space the numerous living spaces are home to seven fireplaces with hand-carved mantels, coffered ceilings and wood and stone floors.

Perfect for entertaining, the home boasts a formal dining room with a wine cellar as well as a huge chef’s kitchen with a granite centre island. The luxuries don’t end there, as elsewhere you can find a home theatre, a gym and an upstairs family room.

Outside, the grounds feature rolling lawns, fountains, a small stream and a pool, a spa with a swimming pool and an outdoor living space complete with a kitchen and fireplace.
Ariana Grande’s Hancock Park home

Around 10 years ago, the star also reportedly rented out this home in Hancock Park also with her mother, Joan. Once owned by legendary Hollywood director, Francis Ford Coppola, Grande was said to have installed a recording studio in the basement, which is said to still be there today.

Recently renovated, the six-bedroom classic English Tudor estate boasts a dramatic two-storey entrance that leads through to a wood-panelled sunroom new gourmet kitchen, family room and formal dining room.
It would have been the perfect stopgap for the budding star.

In 2012, the home was on the rental market for $18,900 (£13.3k) per month, so it wouldn’t have come cheap for Ariana and her mum. Spread over 6,000 square feet of space there’s a swanky kitchen with a centre island, custom cabinetry and marble worktops, while French doors open out to the gardens and terraces.

Heading outside, Ariana would also have had access to the stunning grounds complete with manicured lawns and a swimming pool. The perfect place to unwind away from her busy lifestyle as a teen star.

Before jumping on the property ladder, the star rented out a whole host of other properties, including a five-bedroom Mediterranean-inspired mansion in the Benedict Canyon neighbourhood of Los Angeles.
Seen here posing in her lavish hallway, the star reportedly stayed in the house for five years until she started snapping up her own properties.

After a string of west coast properties, the 25-year-old Ariana finally jumped onto the property ladder for the first time on the other side of the US. In 2018 after a whirlwind romance with Pete Davidson, she snapped up a lavish apartment in New York’s Chelsea neighbourhood for a reported $16 million (£11.3m), presumably to have a base for them while Davison continued to appear in Saturday Night Live at the iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza (aka 30 Rock).

As with all of her previous homes, this luxury apartment didn’t cut any corners. Coming in at more than 4,000 square feet, it features five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths.
The swanky home came unfurnished, which didn’t go unnoticed by fans when Ariana posted a picture of an empty room on Instagram.

With views over the Empire State, the building and apartments were designed by the famed architect Zaha Hadid. The enormous 900-square-foot living room overlooks the famous High Line, while the luxurious master bedroom is a true oasis with its own sitting area, windowed master bathroom and two large walk-in wardrobes.

The couple’s new building also came complete with several jaw-dropping amenities. It features one of the only private IMAX theatres in the world, with just 12 seats, while elsewhere there is a 75-foot indoor pool, a wellness floor and a private party space. In October 2018, after being together for just five months and just after they announced their engagement, the couple suddenly split.
It is thought that Ariana still owns the lavish penthouse.
Ariana Grande’s Montecito mansion
Village Properties
Returning to California, Ariana’s next purchase in May 2020 came in the form of this property in Montecito for $6.8 million (£4.8m). The singer purchased the home, known as Porter House, from TV chat show host and real estate mogul, Ellen DeGeneres. The move came just after she met her now-husband, Dalton Gomez in January 2021.

The beautiful home, which was renovated by Ellen, boasts a 5,500 square foot interior, three bathrooms and two bedrooms. The house began life as two English barns from the 1700s, that were renovated into this unusual Tudor-style home. It was dismantled and shipped to California to be rebuilt into the mansion we see today.

Full of stunning décor and design, the home features vaulted ceilings and cosy fireplaces in the main living spaces, while the two kitchens are kitted out with the latest tech including a huge glass-fronted fridge that is reportedly worth more than a BMW 3-series.

The master bedroom is just as breathtaking with an ensuite bathroom that features dual vanities and a soaking tub that sits in front of a large picture window. After getting engaged in December 2020, Ariana tied the knot with Dalton in May 2021 in an intimate surprise ceremony in the home, attended by less than 20 people.
Ariana Grande’s extravagant mansion
Realtor
In June 2020, Ariana splashed out on a mansion set high above Los Angeles’ iconic Sunset Strip, in an exclusive neighbourhood known as The Bird Streets. The new buy cost her $13.7 million (£9.7m) and included more than 10,000 square feet of ultra-modern living space. Built in 2018, the house has something of a dark history. It was constructed by the Woodbridge Group, a company once owned by the fraudster and convicted criminal, Robert Shapiro who conned more than 84,000 investors out of billions of dollars.

Until Ariana took up residence, the house had reportedly never been occupied, although it was built two years prior. Since then, it has been on and off the market with prices starting at a huge $25.5 million (£18m) before it was reduced to sell. It looks like Ariana snagged herself a bargain!

Inside, the metal front doors open out onto a small atrium featuring a marble wall. Beyond this sits the sprawling open-plan living space that boasts floor-to-ceiling walls of glass that overlook the surrounding hills. A double-sided fireplace sits at the end of the space, separating it from the swanky formal dining room.

The expansive kitchen is the perfect place to host gatherings and a big draw for any passionate cooks, featuring designer Miele appliances and a huge black silk granite centre island.
With views out over the Los Angeles skyline, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a meal.

The home’s lower level has all the amenities a pop-princess could ever need. With a massage room and sauna, it’s the perfect place to relax. Alternatively, there’s a bespoke wine cellar, wet bar and movie theatre for entertainment with friends after dark.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is any newlywed’s dream. Spread over the entire top level, it boasts a walk-in wardrobe, lounge area, a relaxing tub and a glass shower. Offering seamless indoor and outdoor living at its finest, there are stunning views each morning to wake up to.

The estate doesn’t have much of a garden due to its location on a steep incline.
However, with a large patio and L-shaped infinity pool with breathtaking views, it’s still a beautiful outdoor area that’s perfect for alfresco entertaining.

In October 2021, not much more than a year after she bought the lavish home, it seemed that Ariana was ready to move on and she sold the home for exactly $14 million (£10.3m) making a scant $100,000 on the deal. After letting go of this huge home in Hidden Hills, Ariana has gone for some smaller digs with her new husband, Dalton Gomez…
What’s next for Ariana Grande?
@arianagrande / Instagram
In March 2021, Ariana continued on her property shopping spree and splashed out a reported $9 million (£6.4m) on a smaller home, just a stone’s throw away from her current mega-mansion in The Bird Streets. As an off-market deal, details are scarce but the house has reportedly undergone renovations to turn it into a cosy hideaway.
From her childhood home in Florida to a wedding ceremony in her Montecito mansion and her new multimillion-dollar estate all before the age of 30, we can’t wait to see what Ariana snaps up next!

Ariana Grande • Boca Magazine
**Grande’s album, “My Everything,” was released on Aug. 22. Here’s the full story we ran in our July/August issue. Boca Raton was the only South Florida magazine granted an exclusive interivew with the Boca-born pop and R&B star.
Though her meteoric rise has turned her into a superstar on par with the biggest names in music,
Ariana Grande remains a Boca girl at heart.
Granted, it took 37 minutes for the first single—“Problem”—off her new album to reach No. 1 on iTunes after its late April release.
And sure, with 438,000 downloads in its first week, the song that also features Iggy Azalea became the fourth-largest digital debut of all time for a female artist. And yes, the new album, “My Everything,” reached No. 1 in 76 countries on the iTunes albums chart upon its late-August release. But just because Ariana Grande is blowing up so fast and so furiously that Perez Hilton can barely keep up with the blog-worthy buzz doesn’t mean that our home-town pop/R&B superstar has gone Hollywood (even if she does live in Los Angeles).
Asked during a recent phone interview what she misses about the community in which she was raised—and where her grandparents still live—the diminutive singer-songwriter waxed nostalgic about Boca.
“I miss the beach, I miss Town Center, I miss Cinemark—which will always be Muvico in my heart,” says Grande, who turned 21 in late June. “I miss Boomers, I miss the Kabbalah Centre in Boca, I miss the Boca Beach Club, I miss my grandparents … I miss my home.
”
For the better part of three years, starting in 2010, home for the former student at North Broward Preparatory School was on the small screen, where she developed a following as Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon show “Victorious” and, later, its spinoff “Sam & Cat.” But in the life-altering span of a few months last summer, Grande went from teen sitcom darling to worldwide pop phenom. Her debut album for Republic Records, “Yours Truly,” topped the iTunes Store charts in 30-plus countries and hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in its first week; Grande became the first female artist since Kesha in 2010 to reach No. 1 with her inaugural effort. The video for the album’s hit single, “The Way,” is approaching 150 million views on YouTube.
Over the past year, Grande’s dynamic, four-octave soprano voice has drawn comparisons to Mariah Carey—and earned kudos from contemporaries like Lady Gaga and Rihanna. She’s also played the White House already—twice.
In this exclusive with Boca Raton, Grande dishes on her soaring career, her style sense, how her mom keeps everyone on their toes—and why there’s no place like home.
At what point during your television run on nickelodeon did you and your team make the decision to pursue a solo career, or was that the plan all Along?
That was always the plan. I was in the studio and working on music [while still on television]. I took my time; nobody was rushing me. I was able to wait and create separation between my character and my solo career—I was able to introduce myself as Ariana, and not as Cat, in such a natural way.
Nothing was forced; everything happened at the right moment. And I’m very grateful for that. My team really pushed my patience and made me wait—but that [turned out to be] a great idea because everything happened organically from there on out.
You have such a powerful voice and such incredible range. Was there ever discussion about doing a different type of music than you’re doing now?
Thank you … No, I’ve always wanted to do what I wanted to do [when it comes to music]; I’m very pig-headed that way.
… There was a moment where [my team] wanted me to do a slightly younger type of music. I tried one song and it didn’t go over well. I was like, “See, it didn’t work. Now I get to do what I want.”
It’s one thing to hope for instant success in music but quite another to achieve it. Were you surprised at all by the reaction to your first single and album? Yes, for sure. I never thought it would be that quick. But I have to thank my fans for that. My fans brought my first single to number one on iTunes, and then everybody started paying attention. It was like, “Who the hell is this girl?” Then, later, they were like, “Oh my god, that’s the same girl my kids watched on TV?”
It was such a cool thing for me to have people come up and say, “I love your music,” as opposed to “I love your show.” … It was very cosmic. I think the universe was more responsible for that than I was.
How is your mom involved in your career?
I have managers.
I have agents. I have lawyers. I have all these people. But without my mom … she helps to run the ship. My mom [Joan Grande] has her own job; she’s CEO of a company [in Deerfield Beach] that designs and manufactures marine communication equipment. She already has her hands full, but she helps me in a tremendous way—and I’m super grateful for that.
My creative sensibility is right on point, but my business sense is still evolving. My mom is teaching me about the business; she helps me in situations where I’m about to be screwed over. She’ll look it over and get me out of it. She takes really good care of me. I don’t know that I would be where I am right now if she hadn’t [steered] me away from making some huge mistakes.
She’s the smartest person I know. I think my managers cower in fear of her, which is perfect. I don’t know who my managers are more afraid of, her or me. She’s laughing on the couch right now—she says definitely her.
Are you struggling at all with the never-ending gossip and constant chatter that comes from being a chart-topping star? No, I don’t read it.
I only talk to my fans, so the things I see online are what I see on Twitter. I find out about the gossipy stuff if they bring it to my attention. Even then, I don’t want to make that important in my life. I want to focus on my family, my fans and the people I love. I feel like if I create that bubble for myself, then I’ll be fine.
You know, I get it. [The paparazzi and gossip outlets] have to do their job and make their money too. … But if there’s no truth behind a rumor, it just goes away. So why stress over something like that.
You’re part of a generation that is relying on social media in a way that prior entertainers didn’t have to think about. How important is it to you?
I love social media. I love Twitter. I love Facebook. I love Instagram—I’m an addict. It’s important because I love talking to my fans. I feel a very weird maternal connection toward them; it’s like they’re all my babies and I have to go say hi and take care of them every day. I just love my fans.
Not every entertainer is comfortable speaking out about social or, as you did, religious issues. Is that something, moving forward, that we’ll see more of from you? I stand up for what I believe in, just as everyone does—and everyone is entitled to an opinion. There are things that work for me and things that don’t. I’m a very loving, open and accepting person.
I couldn’t really [practice] my religion anymore because of who was running it at the time and his beliefs. But I found something that works for me, and I stayed with it. [Edi- tor’s note: Grande revealed in a 2013 interview with London’s Metro newspaper that she broke with her Catholic upbringing over comments by former Pope Benedict XVI. “He said Spongebob Squarepants is gay … And Harry Potter was a sin. And working women. I was like, Enough!’”]
That doesn’t mean that I’m saying, “Everyone should practice Kabbalah.” I’m not preaching; it just works for me. I’m never going to try and sell somebody on my path or my beliefs.
Because I’m a vegan, I’m not going to stop being friends with someone who eats meat and dairy. And I’m not going to disown my friends who are Catholic.
You recently received the Anna Wintour stamp of approval at a charity event in New York. How important has cultivating a look and choosing the right style become as far as your overall persona?
It’s interesting because I never thought people would pay so much attention to what I was wearing. I’m a musician, not a fashionista! But as time went on, I was like, “Oh my god, people are [talking about] what I look like as [much as they are about] what I sound like. I better start paying attention to this.”
I’ve always loved fashion, but I’ve always loved the same thing—I’m drawn to very retro-, period-looking style. It’s funny, because I never thought I was on top of a trend. I’m always doing something that either will go over really well—or not at all. I don’t want to just do what’s trendy; I want to do what feels good.
These days, I always have a ’60s look going. … I would love to see girls all running around like Ann-Margret; that would be a dream come true.
Everyone from Lady Gaga to Rihanna Has been complimentary of your talents. Is there one contemporary whose words meant the most to you?
There was a little controversy at the iHeart Radio Awards because some people were saying that Rihanna was laughing at me while I was performing. But afterward, she asked me to come over and talk to her. She said, “You are the cutest … Please keep doing what you’re doing because you’re killing it. I’m so happy for you.” … It’s amazing to have the support of so many of my peers that I look up to.
How often do you get back to Boca?
I don’t get home as often as I’d like, probably every five months or so. I live in L.A., I have dogs there, a garden, my work—but no matter what, I always feel like Boca is my home.

Born the 26th of June in 1993 in Boca Raton, Florida, Ariana Grande grew up within what she refers to as a “stereotypical poker-playing, loud, friendly, food-shoving, loving Italian family.
” She is the only daughter of Joan Grande, CEO of a “company that manufactures communications equipment for the Marines and the Navy,” and Edward Butera, a graphic designer from whom she became estranged after her parents divorced in the late ’90s. She has one half-brother, Frankie, who appeared as Boots the Monkey in a national tour of Dora the Explorer Live!
Though she was not personally in the Mafia as a child, she “feel[s] like we knew some of the Mafia but were not involved, for sure. I do know somewhere down the line there were some friendships … it wasn’t something I bragged about.”
One year, for Halloween, her mother smeared blood all over the walls in the family’s new house and said “O.
J. did it.”
Her fourth birthday party was Jaws-themed. All of her friends left, crying. “There was a stage, when I was 3 or 4,” she said, “where my mom thought I might grow up to be a serial killer.”
In 1998, she was hit by two errant hockey pucks at two separate Florida Panthers games. “What are the odds of this happening?” wondered her father, who the Sun-Sentinel described as “visibly shaken.”
$200: The amount of money Ariana’s mother spent at an auction to purchase a Zamboni ride atop the Florida Panthers’ rink for Ariana after she was hit by the hockey pucks.
As a child, she consumed “zeppole and spiedini and everything Italian.” In her teens, she would change her diet completely, eating only “salmon, vegetables, and fruits — super healthy.” She once called national chain Stir Crazy the “best restaurant ever.”
Later, she would change her diet again, this time becoming a vegan due to the fact that she “love[s] animals more than I love most people, not kidding.” A rhetorical question she has since posed: “Ultimately, no one wants cow tit pus in their food, do they?”
$2,000: The amount of money a Poshmark user charged for a McDonald’s milkshake allegedly sipped by Ariana.
88: The number of minutes it took Ariana to announce “i can promise u i’ve never touched that milkshake” on Twitter.
By the time she was 6 years old, she had already “manifested” that she would become a famous pop star.
Her debut role was in the Fort Lauderdale Children’s Theater’s production of Annie, as Annie. After one performance, she autographed a peer’s arms.
Gloria Estefan saw her performing “My Heart Will Go On” at a cruise-ship karaoke lounge at the age of 8 and told her mother that “this is what she needs to be doing.
” Recently, Gloria suggested that Ariana play Gloria in a biopic.
From the ages of 16 to 20, she dyed her hair red once per week to play Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s Victorious. The resulting damage to her hair caused it to become “so broken that it looks absolutely ratchet and absurd when I let it down.” As a result, she wore it in a high ponytail with “more fake hair than every drag queen on earth combined” for years, a style that has now become her signature. She can no longer feel the nerves in her head.
6,080,000: The number of Google search results for “Ariana Grande’s Ponytail.”
She is five feet tall.
She wears heels so often that she believes “something is wrong with her.” She once wore six-inch heels to Disneyland. She has described her personal style as “Audrey Hepburn and Chanel,” but explained that “on the inside I’m only fascinated with dark, macabre, and weird things. Like the ‘Thriller’ video.” She has terrible vision but rarely wears glasses. “Is that a bird or a man?” she once asked.
Monte Lipman signed Ariana in 2011 after he watched YouTube clips of her covering Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, India.Arie, and Adele. She recorded her first single, “Put Your Hearts Up,” in 2011. Later, she described the experience of filming the video — in which she wears “a bad spray tan and a princess dress” while “frolicking in the street” — as “the worst moment of my life” and “straight out of hell.”
vulture.com/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/cjuofw8q6005g3a66ah5amh9e@published” data-word-count=”21″>Despite having no formal vocal training, she is a lyric soprano with a four-octave vocal range, including her rare whistle register.
Her voice has been described as “totally annihilating,” “undeniable,” “outsize,” “a joy,” “beyond her years,” “gymnastic,” “Mariah Carey–level,” “vibrant,” “huge,” “unrivalled,” “Dramamine,” “limitless,” “athletically absurd,” a “featherlight marvel,” a “big pillow,” “a weapon,” and something that “transmutes the very idea of stardom into sound.”
In 2013, she starred in a spinoff of Victorious called Sam & Cat. Though the show won “Favorite TV Show” at Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards, rumors of a feud between Ariana and her co-star, Jennette McCurdy, overshadowed the show’s success and reached a fever pitch when Jeanette penned a TwitLonger obliquely directed at Ariana that read, “You suck the life right out of me.
” Ariana replied just as obliquely via her own tweet: “One of those days where u need that venti knowwhummsayn.”
Sam & Cat was canceled after one season. She has since told Rolling Stone, “I hate acting.”
On an episode of Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens, she is stabbed to death in a silk crop top by a serial killer wearing a Satan costume.
12: The number of months out of the year that Ariana celebrates Halloween.
She once had what she describes as a “ghost/demon experience” while in Kansas City.
After visiting a cemetery known as “one of the seven gates to hell,” she “felt this sick, overwhelming feeling of negativity over the whole car and we smelled sulfur, which is the sign of a demon, and there was a fly in the car randomly, which is another sign of a demon.” Though she apologized to the demon for trespassing, she was soon visited by “disturbing images with red shapes” in bed, and after she “scooched over” to get away from it, she encountered “massive black matter.” Though her friend advised her to “tell [the demon] to eff off,” she felt it would feed on her fear, and instead fell asleep, then later deleted her photo folder called “demons” just “to be safe.”
11: The age at which Ariana converted from Catholicism to Kabbalah.
Her first album, 2013’s Yours Truly, debuted at No.
1 on the Billboard Albums Chart and inspired President Barack Obama to invite her to sing at the White House’s Easter Egg Roll.
On the cover of her third album, Dangerous Woman, she wears a latex, black face mask with rabbit ears.
In the music video for “Side to Side,” she rides a spin bike while singing about how it hurts to walk after one has too much sex.
She has at least 37 tattoos, including a crescent moon on her neck, the word babydoll on her right-hand ring finger, the word hi on her second toe, the acronym h3GKMO (standing for “honest to God knock me out”) on her right hand, and the Kanji characters 七 輪 on her left palm.
She thought the characters translated to “seven rings,” the name of her hit single, but in reality, they translate to “small barbecue grill.” After consulting her Japanese tutor, she added an additional character to correct the phrase, which now reads “Japanese barbecue finger.”
She was once caught on tape leaning over a Los Angeles doughnut shop’s countertop to lick a doughnut she had not purchased. She turned to her then-boyfriend, backup dancer Ricky Alvarez, and informed him, “I hate Americans. I hate America.” After national blowback, including a canceled White House performance, she apologized, explaining that she was concerned about America’s obesity epidemic but also “disgusted with [her behavior].”
“It is not clear at this time if the affected doughnuts were disposed of or sold to another patron,” read the police statement.
In her single, “Wit It This Christmas,” she asks if her love interest is “down for some of these milk and cookies?”
She is hypoglycemic.
For a time, her biggest fear was “swallowing pills.”
Two hours: The amount of time Ariana recently spent having a “productive conversation” with previous sworn enemy Piers Morgan while both were drunk at a Los Angeles restaurant.

She once posted a selfie on Instagram that became a viral sensation after fans spotted what they believed to be a “black dildo” in the left-hand corner. In a follow-up video, she explained it was a “power strip.” “Y’all need Jesus,” she said.

During a day off on tour in Australia, she rented a tour bus, took the mic, and according to one of her collaborators, “became our Broadway-musical-style tour guide and delivered sidesplitting commentary.”
vulture.com/_components/clay-paragraph/instances/cjuofw91600643a66gyro8jhy@published” data-word-count=”12″>She prefers to be photographed on the left side of her face.
60: The number of times Ariana says “baby” in the song “Baby I.”
In her hit single “Break Free,” she sings, “I only want to die alive / Never by the hands of a broken heart / I don’t wanna hear you lie tonight / Now that I’ve become who I really are.” She has said she fought Swedish super-producer Max Martin on the lyrics “the entire time”: “I am not going to sing a grammatically incorrect lyric, help me, God!”
She has enjoyed public relationships with Nathan Sykes, Graham Phillips, Big Sean, Mac Miller, Alvarez, Jai Brooks, and Pete Davidson, whom she nearly married after one month of dating.
Four of these men are mentioned by name in her single “Thank U, Next”; in the video, she proclaimed that Sean could “still get it.”
“True love doesn’t exist,” she recently tweeted. Hours later, she tweeted, “True love might exist, I was just hungry.”
7: The number of aliens Ariana murders in her “Break Free” video.
She is obsessed with the Harry Potter franchise and has the word lumos tattooed on her hand. She announced her relationship with now-ex-fiancé Davidson by posting a photo at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter with the caption, “the chamber of secrets has been opened.
” She identifies as a Slytherin.

4: The number of Saw films Ariana has described as “brilliant.”
She has released five albums in as many years, and two within the span of six months, both of which reached No.
1 instantaneously. Her most recent, Thank U, Next, has smashed chart records previously set by the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Rihanna, and Ariana herself.
She wrote Thank U, Next in one week and recorded it in two, engineering and comping her own vocals.
The album was inspired, in part, by her ex-boyfriend Miller’s death, as well as her breakup with Davidson. She described the process as “feminine energy and champagne and music and laughter and crying.”
93: The amount of times Ariana says “yuh” on Thank U, Next.
Frequent collaborator Savan Kotecha described her as a “vocal savant.” “She knows every detail about her voice: ‘That note over there, that’s a little bit flat.’ We’ll be like, ‘What? No it’s not.’ She’s like, ‘Yes it is, that little syllable there.’ I’ve been around some of the greatest singers of all time. I’ve never seen anything like this.”
“You know how people say we’re 60 percent water?” she said. “I’m 60 percent pink Veuve Clicquot.”
She hates Monopoly and believes it “only brings violence and misery.” She once ended a friendship over the board game.
Her newest single is titled “Monopoly.”
“I’m actually going to be Edie Beale from Grey Gardens when I’m an old lady,” she tweeted. Approximately one year later, she tweeted, “I am going to be the Edie Beale of dogs.”

Around Town: Boca singer finds her ‘Way’ on charts – News
Around Town: Boca singer finds her ‘Way’ on charts

Greg Rice and his wife, Lori Miller, take a break during activities at Lake Worth’s July Fourth celebration.

Nice early birthday present for Boca-born Ariana Grande. Two weeks before she turned 20, her new song The Way, with Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller, was certified platinum for sales of a million records. That doesn’t happen very often in this day and age. Seven
hours after its iTunes release, it was the No. 1 single. It debuted at No. 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and peaked at No. 9. Its sales in the first week were exceeded only by Suit & Tie, by Justin Timberlake featuring Jay-Z.
Not bad for Grande, who grew up in Boca and attended North Broward Prep. (Her father, Ed Butera, owns ibi designs in Boca.) After making a name vocally, the tiny girl (only 5 feet) with the big four-octave voice made the big jump to Broadway — as Charlotte in 13 — and then to Nickelodeon’s Victorious as Cat Valentine. She now stars in Nick’s Sam & Cat. In 2012 she won a Hollywood Teen TV Award for Favorite Actress. This year she was named Best Newcomer at the Billboard Mid-Year Music Awards and The Way is nominated in three categories for the Teen Choice Awards. Her first album, Yours Truly, will be released Sept. 2.
And to wrap up a wild and crazy summer, Grande will open three shows for Justin Bieber this month … in Jacksonville (Aug. 7), Tampa (Aug. 8) and Atlanta (Aug. 10). Let’s hope the bad boy can handle it.
For Shane Todd’s family, no joy — and few answers. On July 8, a Singapore coroner ruled that the former Boca Raton resident’s death was a suicide. The family refuses to accept the finding, according to published reports in national and international media, claiming the suicide — asphyxiation by hanging — was staged to cover up murder.
Todd was born in California, his father a Navy pilot. They moved to Boca Raton, where Todd was an honor student and athlete at Boca High. Todd completed his undergraduate and master’s work at the University of Florida and a Ph.D. in engineering at the University of California Santa Barbara. He then signed on with the Institute for Micro Electronics, a division of the Singaporean government’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). The work involved a gallium nitride-powered amplifying device for the controversial Chinese telecom company Huawei.
As the work continued, Todd confided to his family, who had since moved to Montana, that he was uncomfortable with some of the work he was asked to do. His mother said he once told her if she didn’t hear from him every week to contact the American embassy. He was prescribed antidepressants to help him cope with the stress. He gave 60 days’ notice at IME, then stayed an additional 30. On his last day, friends and co-workers said he was upbeat. His girlfriend discovered his body a day later.
When Todd’s family arrived in Singapore they noted many inconsistencies in the police report and signs that didn’t point to someone considering suicide — unfinished laundry, recently written price tags to sell his furniture, his airline ticket on a table. A Missouri medical examiner consulted by the Todds argued that photos of marks on the body didn’t support suicide but after seeing additional information retracted his statements. An Illinois criminologist said the tone of Shane’s suicide note didn’t match his personality.
The Todds sought help from members of Congress and a petition was circulated online asking President Obama to authorize a Justice Department investigation. The FBI offered to cooperate with Singapore police, but did not come to any official conclusions regarding the case.
At the inquest, numerous witnesses supported the suicide scenario, including two chief medical examiners from the United States who were brought in as independent experts.
Saying they no longer believed in the “transparency and fairness of the system,” the Todds discharged their lawyers, withdrew from the inquiry, and returned home to continue their mission in “the court of public opinion for judgment.”
Lake Worth may not have been born on the Fourth of July, but what better day to celebrate a centennial? And they did it up right with a big dance at the newly restored pavilion on the beach, a sink-or-swim parade of homemade rafts in the lake and a boffo fireworks display.
Greg Rice, the city’s unofficial ambassador and the centennial committee’s official vice chair, wasted no time celebrating the success of the celebration and tossing a friendly jab at the much bigger neighbor to the north. “I wanted to point out,” Rice wrote in an email, “that the fireworks display for Lake Worth’s Centennial was bigger and lasted longer that the city of West Palm Beach’s Fourth on Flagler Celebration. (And) no, there’s no ED joke intended here. Happy birthday, Lake Worth and America!’’
Farther south, reviews are still mixed on the controversial move of Boca’s fireworks to the new de Hoernle Park on Spanish River Boulevard, just across I-95 from the old site on the FAU campus. The recently opened park is the newest contribution to the city by the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District.
The district is a separate taxing agency, yet, without consulting the district board, city officials decided to relocate the event. Unlike the campus, which offered unlimited parking and four access points, the park has space for fewer than 300 vehicles and only one way in and out. To compensate, the city ran shuttle buses from parking lots at the T Rex Corporate Center to the north.
Assistant City Manager Mike Woika claimed a turnout of 10,000, with about 2,300 cars parked and the last shuttle leaving the park at 10:30. Many attendees, he added, walked in or rode bikes.
Boca police, however, said the park wasn’t clear until 11:30, and observers experienced in crowd estimates said 4,000 to 5,000 would be a more realistic count. Of greater concern was the number of attendees who forsook the shuttles for a risky walk along Spanish River between the park and T Rex.
The Tax District’s annual budget includes a sizeable contribution to the city for its fireworks, but unless the city adopts a new policy — communication — that money may go elsewhere. As one board member explained: “It’s called respect.”
Back in 1925, Boca Raton was little more than sand, scrub and The Cloister, the swank hotel on Lake Boca Raton. When Addison Mizner, the dreamer who built the hotel, began building his headquarters just east of the Boca Raton railroad station on Camino Real, he named it, rather unglamorously, The Administration Building.
The promise of millions soon fizzled; a year later, Mizner was broke. For six more years he scrambled to keep his business afloat, but in 1933, he died in Palm Beach from a heart attack.
Fortunately for us, his legacy lives on in his buildings: the Boca Raton Resort & Club, the Old Floresta homes in Boca and estates in Palm Beach, California and Colorado, The Cloister in Sea Island, Ga., even a Baptist church in Jacksonville, and yes, the old Administration Building.
Now The Addison, it hosts some 500 private events each year — small club luncheons, corporate extravaganzas, weddings — plus the occasional public party. Last month the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences presented The Addison with its Five Star Diamond Award, citing its historical architecture, cuisine, charm and service. It’s the only private events venue in South Florida to be so honored.
Just up the road, The Wick Theatre is alive with the sounds of construction, renovation and, most of all, ticket sales for the theater’s Sept. 20 opening gala and performance of The Sound of Music. Last spring the Wick took over the bankrupt Caldwell Theatre Company complex at the north end of Boca with elaborate plans to offer live theater, dining and a theatrical costume museum based on founder Marilynn Wick’s world-class collection.
“Ticket sales are going great,” Wick said. “Subscriber-ship, too! We’re working feverishly. The museum won’t be ready until November, but we plan to have four huge cocktail parties for opening week. Be ready to eat and drink.”
Profit is profit, and speculators have made lots of it in Florida since Juan Ponce de Leon first arrived. But when you’re movie star Kevin James and you’ve just paid $18.5 million for a beachfront home in Delray, it hardly makes sense to put it back on the market a couple of months later for a mere $19.95 million.
That was the news in early July, but it was all a mistake. The agency that initially listed the home erroneously blogged that several big homes were on the market, including James’. Zillow, the real estate website, quickly picked it up. Then the media picked it up and called James’ people to inquire. James people called the agency and the item was quickly pulled, but no one was sure how it all happened.
The 12,828-square-foot Delray estate features a saltwater pool, massage table, wine room and staff quarters. It isn’t much larger than his old place in Encino, Calif., (11,291 square feet) that boasted a state-of-the-art movie theater, gym, chef’s kitchen and backyard vistas of the valley and mountains beyond. James bought it in 2003 for $3.2 million and put it on the market for $5.49 million. Actual selling price: $5.55 million.
Natasha Tretheway was born in 1966 in Mississippi, at the height of the civil rights struggle, to an African-American mother and a Canadian father — when mixed-race marriages were illegal in that state. Her parents divorced when she was young. Her mother remarried and shortly after a second divorce, when Tretheway was 19, was murdered by her second husband.
“That was the moment when I both felt that I would become a poet and then immediately afterward felt that I would not,” Tretheway recalled. “I turned to poetry to make sense of what had happened.”
Tretheway’s verse continues to make sense … and to inspire. In 2007 she received the Pulitzer Prize for her collection Native Guard. She directs the creative writing program at Emory University in Atlanta. In June, Librarian of Congress James Billington appointed her to a second term as the 19th United States poet laureate.
And next Jan. 20 at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts at Old School Square, she’ll headline one of the most auspicious gatherings of poets ever at the 10th annual Palm Beach Poetry Festival.
In addition to Tretheway, the six-day festival will feature workshops by Nick Flynn, Carolyn Forché, Linda Gregg, Thomas Lux, Campbell McGrath, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Mary Ruefle and Tim Seibles.
The festival will be dedicated to the memory of poet Kurt Brown, a frequent contributor to the festival who died last month. Brown’s widow, Laure-Anne Bosselaar, will give a reading and introduce Tretheway.
Founder and director Miles Coon promises “numerous opportunities for the public to hear truly great poetry, written from and for our time, read by poets who engage and enthrall the audience. They are truly a diverse group, ethnically, demo-graphically and aesthetically. When people hear them, they will hear America singing.”

With Don Shula, nobody asks, “Where’s the beef!”
A winner, no matter where, “Shoes” has always known where to find the beef, first as a football player, then as coach of the Baltimore Colts and especially the Miami Dolphins, and finally as restaurateur. With the latter, he started at the top of the restaurant food chain with Shula’s Steak Houses and expanded into a league of restaurants — freestanding, in hotels, in airports — but all beef-centric with enough chicken and seafood to keep any team happy.
But just as football victories are ground out in the trenches, so is Shula’s newest concept — Shula Burger. Four have opened, including one last month at the spanking new Delray Marketplace, west of the Turnpike on Atlantic Avenue. Burgers start at $6.49 for the basic with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles, but from there the sky’s the limit with an ingredients list that includes roasted peppers, goat cheese, roasted corn and black bean salsa, peppered bacon, cucumbers, avocados and red onion jam. Most intriguing is “The Don.” Try to picture a brioche-style bun, slathered with onion sauce, ketchup, yellow mustard, with a slice of American cheese and a pickle, atop a burger AND a hot dog.
The menu, of course, offers more than beef, with chicken, turkey and veggie burgers, steak sandwiches, hot dogs, salads, beer and wine, even hand-dipped Haagen-Dazs milkshakes.
All the fixin’s for a winner.

Does Ariana Grande have official Social Media profiles?
(1993) American film actress, model, songwriter, and singer
Ariana Grande’s musical compositions are as popular as her roles in films and TV shows, so the young star can be considered both a successful singer and a talented film actress. Despite her rather young age, the girl has already managed to try herself as a fashion model and cartoon voice actor, and not so long ago, a new fragrance under the Ariana Grande brand appeared on sale.
Where and when was Ariana Grande born, and how did she manage to achieve such success and become the idol of thousands of teenagers from all over the world?
Childhood
The future celebrity was born in 1993. At the time of her birth, the girl’s parents and older brother lived in the small town of Boca Raton, located in eastern Florida. Very often the question arises about the nationality of Ariana Grande. It is known that the mother and father have Italian roots. Perhaps the star owes its bright appearance and explosive temperament to its origin.
Ariana Grande and her brother Frankie have been involved in developing the creative abilities of Ariana Grande since childhood. At the age of 4, the future actress began attending children’s musical theater classes. It was here that she first appeared on stage and showed her vocal abilities. It is unlikely that participation in musicals can be called the beginning of Ariana Grande’s creative biography, but the children’s theater helped the future star open up and gain her first experience.
Start of career
Debut on television at the age of 8 – Ariana Grande sang the anthem of her country. For some time she performed to the accompaniment of a symphony orchestra. Parents decide to send their daughter to study with one of the most famous vocal teachers in Hollywood. He helped get the voice right and provided a stellar biography for Ariana Grande.
Ariana Grande first appeared on the big stage during the musical performance “Annie”. After the first successful performance, the girl received several more offers to participate in musicals. Already at the age of 15, she made her debut on Broadway and received her first prestigious award.
As a singer, Ariana Grande became famous at the age of 19, when her first CD was released. Compositions from it hit the leading charts of the country, providing the girl with a rapidly growing popularity. To date, she has released three albums, and each of them has been eagerly awaited by fans from all over the world. The singer successfully tours the US and other countries, and one of the tours in support of her album lasted more than ten months, because due to the great success of the show, the organizers were forced to add more than forty performances to the schedule.
Thanks to her popularity, including in social networks, in 2015, according to the Huffington Post, the girl was recognized as one of the most influential performers in the world.
Best films
After a successful debut on stage, the girl receives an offer to take part in the filming of a television series. For the first time on the big screen, a young celebrity appears in the youth film “Victorious”. Due to the popularity of the series, it was decided to shoot a second season. In the second part, Ariana Grande not only starred in the film, but also wrote all the soundtracks for it at the same time. All of them, after the release of the tape, were collected in one disc, which instantly sold out among celebrity fans.
In less than six years, Ariana Grande managed to replenish her filmography with eight works.

Despite the incoming offers to participate in filming, the girl considers music to be her main hobby. It’s safe to say that Ariana Grande’s biography is on the rise. She continues to take part in musicals, writes songs, and tickets for performances are bought up by fans in a matter of days.
Today, the girl can be considered a real celebrity: thousands of fans from different countries around the world are waiting for the release of her new album and the appearance of films with her participation, and in early 2015, the first Ariana Grande perfume was released.
Personal life of the star
Fans of the young actress and singer are actively discussing the personal life of their idol. In the life of a young celebrity, there have already been several short novels. Ariana Grande’s chosen ones were her colleagues.
The first romantic relationship began at the end of 2014. During the filming of her video, Ariana Grande meets rapper Big Sean, and from that moment on, the artist’s personal life is discussed no less actively than her work. Six months later, a new companion appeared in the girl’s life – this time she chose the dancer Ricky Alvarez. And again, the romance lasted only a few months.
Who is Ariana Grande dating today? The singer does not hide her relationship with rapper Mac Miller. Moreover, a few months ago, sources close to young people reported that Ariana Grande and her boyfriend intend to formalize their relationship.
The real shock for the fans was the news about the possible pregnancy of the star. Since Ariana Grande does not confirm or deny such rumors, there is a high probability that serious changes have indeed taken place in the singer’s personal life.
Even before her first filming as an actress, the gifted vocalist had grandiose plans for her singing career. This is how Ariana Grande began her rise. The biography of this girl will soon be replenished with a track record of dozens of songs, films and TV shows.
First notes
At the age of 18, Ariana was ready to stop her plans only on a successful musical career. At that time, there was no talk of filming a movie yet. After recording the soundtrack for the film “Victorious”, she receives an offer to work together from one of the major record companies. And accepts it.
For an aspiring singer named biography from now on will be replenished with a mass of new successful episodes. Soon the girl will make her debut in the music business with her first collection Yours Truly brings the first dividends to the studio. The debut single of the singer settled in the top ten according to the versions of the main charts for a long time. Later, critics also enthusiastically accept Ariana’s second album, and listeners will follow their example. Ariana Grande, whose biography, personal life and filmography had already interested the public by that time, was approaching her fame.
For her magnificent vocal abilities, Ariana is involved in creating soundtracks for television projects, cartoons, and also in cinema. She voices the animation project “Winx Club”.
Via vocals to the big screen
But later her celebrity appetite grew and brought the young star to the Hollywood hills. Ariana appeared on the television screen in 2015 in one of the episodes of the TV series Scream Queens. So, thanks to small roles, she joins the future full-fledged cinematic career. Lead producers quickly realized just how talented Ariana Grande is. Her biography will not be limited to a list of achievements in the music scene. Her vocal talent is supported by external data.
The list of films with her participation or with her voice acting may not yet be impressive compared to other bison of cinema and television, but fans already note that her participation practically guarantees success to any project. The same opinion prevails among critics. Among her works on the screen and in the voice acting should be indicated: “Victorious” (2010), “Family Guy” 1999, “Harley’s Life” (2016), “Model Male” (2016), “Superteam” ( 2013) and others.
In these projects, Ariana received each time another portion of recognition and rave reviews.
Not an accidental success
Ariana comes from a small town in Florida, her father was a graphic designer, and her mother installed telephone communications. In 1993, a gifted girl is born to the spouses. With such parents, one does not have to talk about any hardships and life difficulties. Ariana’s success was not at all accidental. All the achievements and abilities of both children in the family were consciously cultivated already in childhood.
Father and mother immediately relied on the creative profession of both their son and daughter. By the way, today Ariana’s brother is her producer and does not yield this place even to the most toothy sharks in show business. The baby’s giftedness on the vocal and theatrical stage manifested itself almost immediately; when teaching her daughter, the Grande family focused on singing talent. Constant vocal and theater lessons did not leave the girl the right to an ordinary life. In fact, she was doomed to success. And soon to become famous aspiring star Ariana Grande. Biography, height, weight and even her diet will become the object of attention of millions of fans.
When a couple decides to get a divorce, they do everything so that their daughter can easily survive this separation.
Grandiose ambitions
Today it is difficult for critics and admirers of her work to decide who she is – a singer or an actress. In both directions, her giftedness is backed up by sumptuous training. Suffice it to say that Ariana’s vocals were honed by one of the best teachers in Hollywood. Prior to that, the legendary Eric Vetro provided the voice of Katy Perry and Pink. It’s no secret how successful they have been.
By the choice of a teacher, one can judge the singer’s ambitions in show business – Ariana Grande receives platinum albums, millions in fees and roles in big cinema. Her biography is full of events.
In fact, it is hardly worth distinguishing between a singer and a movie actress in her – these two stellar professions fit in her on an equal footing.
The girl has never become an accomplice in the failure of a feature film, TV series or animation project. This is indicated by the filmography and biography of Ariana Grande. In Russian, films with her participation at the box office break no less than good reviews.
Gentle beauty, even in childhood, was distinguished by an enviable sense of purpose. The girl always knew what kind of career she wants to build and what needs to be done for this.

Childhood Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande-Butera was born in a small town on the east coast of Florida, Boca Raton, on June 26, 1993. Parents Joan Grande and Edward Butera instilled in their children a love of art from an early age. Ariana’s older brother, Frankie, became a successful actor and producer and is now his younger sister’s agent.
Ariana Grande as a child
Ariana was not even four years old when her parents sent the girl to the musical theater “Little Palm Theatre”, and after 4 years she made her debut on television, performing the US anthem. During this period, Ariana got her first role in the musical “Annie”, and later in the productions of “The Wizard of Oz” and “Beauty and the Beast”.
At the age of 13, Ariana Grande seriously thought about a musical career
At the age of 13, the girl seriously thought about a musical career and began to pull up her vocals from the famous Hollywood teacher Eric Vetro, who was voiced by many American stars – Pink, Katy Perry and Jason Derulo. After the master classes, Eric gave positive recommendations to Ariana, and her older brother took up her career.
Early career
In 2007, the girl flew to Los Angeles to meet with managers, saying she wanted to record an R&B album. She was refused, and then Ariana returned to acting and in 2008 successfully passed the casting for the role of Charlotte in Jason Robert Brown’s Broadway musical 13. Grande’s acting debut was highly acclaimed by critics and awarded her the National Youth Theater Association Award. Participation in the production did not allow Ariana to continue her studies at the North Broward preparatory school, so the young actress received educational materials at home and studied with tutors.

Ariana’s successful debut attracted the attention of directors and casting producers. In 2010, the girl received a role on the Nickelodeon channel in the television series Victoria Victorious, directed by Dan Schneider.

Ariana Grande’s personal life
Today, Ariana is fully committed to working on her career, which is rapidly taking off. However, at the same time, the charming Grande does not forget about her personal life. The petite beauty has experienced several stormy and short-term romances with famous men. In 2014, the star was building a relationship with rapper Big Sean, and in the spring, Ariana’s fans learned that the lovers broke up.

Ariana Grande is an American singer and actress with an unusual voice. Despite her young age, she managed to win the hearts of thousands of teenage fans around the world. She began her professional career as a child on the Nickelodeon channel, and now she records albums, plays in films, TV series and theater.
Childhood Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande-Butera was born in a small town on the east coast of Florida, Boca Raton, on June 26, 1993. Parents Joan Grande and Edward Butera instilled in their children a love of art from an early age. Ariana’s older brother, Frankie, became a successful actor and producer and is now his younger sister’s agent.
Ariana was not even four years old when her parents sent the girl to the musical theater “Little Palm Theatre”, and after 4 years she made her debut on television, performing the US anthem. During this period, Ariana got her first role in the musical “Annie”, and later in the productions of “The Wizard of Oz” and “Beauty and the Beast”.
At the age of 13, the girl seriously thought about a musical career and began to pull up her vocals from the famous Hollywood teacher Eric Vetro, who was voiced by many American stars – Pink, Katy Perry and Jason Derulo. After the master classes, Eric gave positive recommendations to Ariana, and her older brother took up her career.
Early career
In 2007, the girl flew to Los Angeles to meet with managers, saying she wanted to record an R&B album. She was refused, and then Ariana returned to acting and in 2008 successfully passed the casting for the role of Charlotte in Jason Robert Brown’s Broadway musical 13. Grande’s acting debut was highly acclaimed by critics and awarded her the National Youth Theater Association Award. Participation in the production did not allow Ariana to continue her studies at the North Broward preparatory school, so the young actress received educational materials at home and studied with tutors.
Ariana’s successful debut attracted the attention of directors and casting producers. In 2010, the girl received a role on the Nickelodeon channel in the television series Victoria Victorious, directed by Dan Schneider. For the role of Kat Valentine, Ariana had to radically change her appearance, and from a pretty brown-haired actress turned into a fiery beauty with purple hair. Then Ariana was afraid that fans would turn away from her because of such changes in her appearance, but the fans accepted the new image of the actress with a bang.
In the same year, Ariana began performing with Colleen Ballinger, known on the Internet as the comic character Miranda Sings, at the Birdland nightclub in New York. In 2011, fans were able to see Ariana in Grayson Chance’s video for the song “Unfriend You”, where, according to the plot, Grande played the singer’s ex-lover. The music industry has long attracted Ariana, and in the same year, the 18-year-old artist released her debut album, Put Your Hearts Up. In the shortest possible time, the disc found its audience and became incredibly popular among American youth.

In parallel, the girl continued to participate in the work on the series: in the sitcom “Winx Club: Fairy School” Ariana voiced the role of Princess Diaspro. Grande’s puppet appearance and voice also attracted production directors – in 2012, the girl got the role of Snow White in the production of Snow White’s Christmas.
During this period, the series “Victorious” was closed, and Ariana was offered to star in the sitcom-sequel “Sam and Cat”.
Music and filming became more and more intertwined: in 2013, the girl released two new studio albums at once: “Yours Truly” and “Christmas Kisses”. Critics noted that Grande’s voice became deeper and more “adult”, which expanded her vocal abilities.
Since 2014, Ariana became an activist of the Broadway in South Africa project, in which the artist began to visit South Africa every year, where she gave free master classes in singing and choreography to local children.

At the beginning of 2015, Ariana went on a world tour in support of the next album “My Everything”. For the first 25 concerts alone, Grande earned more than $14 million, such a colossal success forced the organizers to extend the performances until the fall.
After the summer 2016 tour, Ariana was cast as Penny in the remake of the musical Hairspray.
Ariana Grande’s personal life
In 2014, the girl was in a relationship with the American rapper Big Sean, but a year later the young people broke up. In the summer of 2015, Ariana began an affair with dancer Ricky Alvarez, but it was also short-lived and lasted a year.
After two years, the singer dated rapper Mac Miller. Ariana later revealed that the relationship was abusive, which led to the breakup.
Ariana Grande (June 26, 1993) is an American singer and actress. She received several statuettes for “Best Song” and “Best Performer”.
Childhood
Ariana Grande was born on June 26 in Boca Raton, Florida. Her mother was a successful woman who for a long time ran one of the city’s construction companies. Ariana’s father was also a well-known and respected person, as he was engaged in graphic design and even opened his own studio, where he took orders and taught everyone.
Grande has suffered from hypoglycemia since childhood. In moments when her illness worsened and became unbearable, her older brother Frankie, who was a born actor, tried to support her in every possible way. He frequently appeared in commercials and even made several appearances in local theater productions. However, Frankie’s career did not go well, so a few years after the birth of Ariana, he was forced to leave his family and leave the city in search of work as a producer.
At the age of 8, Ariana experiences her first shock – her parents are getting divorced. Not understanding what caused such a serious step, the girl completely closes herself and does not talk to her mother for about six months. However, she does everything possible to ensure that the young Grande does not feel the lack of attention. After some time, the relationship between the daughter and mother is getting better again.
Youth and early career as an actress
In 2008, Ariana Grande was invited to star in the Broadway musical 13. The offer comes from a fairly well-known director, who up to this point has already seen the girl play in several performances. Deciding that one of the roles in his play is ideal for Grande, he invites the girl, and she immediately accepts such an interesting and tempting offer. However, the “other side of the coin” is also present there – productions are most often held in New York, and in order to participate in them, the girl must also move. The mother, realizing that her daughter really wants to get into the musical, but is afraid to leave her alone, invites her to go together, and the problem is immediately solved.
After the success of the musical, Ariana feels all the delights of celebrity life, one of the advantages of which are several invitations to shoot. So the girl claims her participation in the youth series “Victorious”, where she is invited by representatives of the Nickelodeon channel. A year after the release of the series, Ariana Grande becomes the universal favorite and idol of millions of teenagers around the world. By the way, it is this series that becomes her hallmark in parallel, which subsequently allows her to receive interesting offers and sign multi-million dollar contracts with well-known directors.
Singing career
After starring in the series Victoria Victorious, Ariana Grande realizes that her acting career is still in second place for her, much behind her passion for music. As the singer herself admits, she would never want to become a professional actress and completely forget about her singing career:
“I in no way deny that being an actress is great and fun, especially when you are on the set. But music is what is my passion, hobby, meaning of life…”.
In 2011, Ariana Grande starred in the second season of the series and at the same time wrote soundtracks for it, which, a few months later, are combined into the album “Victorious” and distributed throughout the world. Covers and tracks of Grande’s own composition become public and quickly gain popularity. A year later, the singer, inspired by success in the musical field, records an album for the third season of the series, which is also bought up by a crowd of fans in a matter of days. However, this is where the singing career ends. In November of the same year, it became known that the fourth season of Victoria the Victorious was no longer out of the question, since the actors were too busy filming in other tapes. And, accordingly, Ariana partially loses earnings.
However, this is not the end of her career as a singer. Despite the fact that the actress does not record any songs for a year, her next album is released in 2013. It is spreading relatively quickly throughout the country. Ariana’s singles begin to sound on most radio stations, and some songs become absolute hits. At the same time, Grande is nominated for several prestigious awards, but all the honor goes to the number one pop singer – Kesha. And Ariana receives the coveted statuettes only a couple of years after the first “failure”.
Personal life
In October 2014, Ariana Grande met rapper Big Sean on the set of one of her music videos. It would seem that they seem to be made for each other: they are equally popular and famous, they love fame and money, they even fit the characters. However, by 2015, Grande’s official spokesman announced in the press that the romance between the singer and the rapper was breaking up.
And in July 2015, a young girl meets the equally talented dancer Rikk Alvarez, whom she is still dating and, according to rumors, plans to get engaged soon.
Biography of Ariana Grande
The future singer was born in Boca Raton, a small resort town on the southeast coast of Florida. Ariana got an unusual name in honor of Princess Oriana from her parents’ favorite animated series – Felix the Cat (an old black-and-white animated series from the silent film era).
Since childhood, the girl had a keen interest in singing and theater: she played in many school productions, went to different theater schools and surprised everyone with her ability to parody the voices of various singers and celebrities. She performed in Fort Lauderdale (a city on the east coast of South Florida), where she played her first role in the musical “Annie”. This was followed by leading roles in productions of The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast.
When Ariana was about eight years old, her parents divorced, and she, along with her older brother Frankie, stayed with her mother. Their mother made every effort to develop the creative potential of children: she sent them to various competitions and circles, did not spare money for dance classes and vocal lessons. And as a result, Ariana, at 26, is a proud Grammy winner, and her brother is a famous dancer in Broadway musicals (sometimes you can meet him on his sister’s show among the dancers).
Ariana’s move to Los Angeles at the age of 14 can be considered the first serious steps towards a career as a singer and actress. There she switched to home schooling and devoted all her free time to auditions in various projects. Thanks to her diligence and perseverance, she first landed the role of Charlotte in the Broadway musical 13, and then passed the casting on the Nickelodeon channel and landed her most famous role – goofy and naive, but cute Kat Valentine in the American sitcom Victoria Victorious.
This role divided Ariana’s life into “before” and “after”. In the image of Kat Valentine, she shone on the screens from March 2010 to February 2013, starred in 61 episodes of the sitcom and became the idol of millions of teenagers not only in America but all over the world.
During filming, she never forgot about music for a day, so she performed various covers and soundtracks for the show itself, filmed music videos on YouTube, sang in the New York nightclub “Birdland”, participated in the musical TV show “Brain Surge”, and also worked on her first studio album.
2013 was a truly fruitful year for her: the young star released her debut album “Yours Truly”, took first place on the Billboard 200 album chart, hit the Billboard Hottest Breakouts list, won the Artist of the Year nomination at the American Music Awards, joined Justin Bieber for three concerts on his Believe Tour, embarked on her own tour, The Listening Sessions, and released the Christmas compilation album Christmas Kisses in December.
It was a real breakthrough, Ariana announced herself as a serious and ambitious artist who is set not just for local performances, but for many hours of music shows in huge stadiums.
In 2014, she released her second album, My Everything, won the People Choice Awards for Favorite Rising Star, was invited to the White House twice to perform her songs, and was number one on the Billboard 200 several times.
Through Ariana embarked on The Honeymoon World Tour and took part in the filming of the acclaimed series Scream Queens with Emma Roberts, Nick Jonas and Lea Michele, playing the role of Chanel No. 2.
In parallel with her musical and acting career, the girl was actively involved in charity work: together with Miley Cyrus, she co-founded The Happy Hippie Foundation, which supports people with non-traditional sexual orientation. Interestingly, since childhood, the singer was brought up in a Catholic family, but after Pope Benedict called the LGBT community (including her brother Frank) and women working in the sex industry sinners, she did not hesitate to renounce Christianity and still donates funds to various LGBT organizations.
In 2016, the singer released her third music album “Dangerous Woman”, which almost immediately debuted in the top ten hits of the American Billboard Hot 100 (thus, all three of the singer’s albums immediately entered the Top 10 in the USA).
On May 22, 2017, at the Manchester Arena, at the end of Ariana’s concert as part of the Dangerous Woman Tour, an explosion occurred, as a result of which 23 people died and 122 were injured (later it was found out that it was a terrorist act committed by IS ). This situation greatly upset the singer, she stopped her tour for a certain period of time and organized a charity concert “One Love Manchester” in Manchester, dedicated to the victims of the terrorist attack. It was a very touching show that featured performances by many musical artists: Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Robbie Williams, Pharrell Williams, Niall Horan, Coldplay and Little mix to name a few.
The singer donated all the funds raised (more than 15 million dollars) to the victims of the terrorist attack and to a fund created by the city council and the British Red Cross. After this event, Ariana received the title of honorary citizen of the city of Manchester.
2018-2019, the singer devoted herself entirely to the release of the fourth album, Sweetener, and then to the preparation and release of the fifth album, Thank U, Next. It is noteworthy that before the album, a separate composition “Thank U, Next” was first released, which tells about the rich personal life of the singer. In the single, she mentioned dancer Ricky Alvarez, the late rapper Mac Miller, Big Sean, Pete Davidson. But in the song there are no discontent, complaints or curses, the singer only makes it clear that, despite the insults and disappointments, she is not going to stand still.
At the same time, she was named Billboard Woman of the Year and won her first Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album (for “Sweetener”).
At the 62nd Grammy Awards this year, Ariana was nominated for five different nominations, but did not win any of them (18-year-old Billie Eilish took the most awards that day).
After that, the singer went into the shadows for some time: she stopped giving interviews and did not release new songs. During self-isolation, she preferred to devote time to her family and her new young man, Dalton Gomez. But fans are sure that this is just the calm before the storm, and very soon the pop queen will again conquer the charts and harvest awards and prizes.
