Cute baby face. Doll curls. Short height (159 cm). Mesmerizing laughter. Even a verbal portrait of Ariana Grande brings a smile and brings to mind a small child. But this is imaginary immaturity.

Broadway and Nickelodeon: originality and loyalty to the dream
Ariana Grande-Butera was born on June 26, 1993 in Florida in the family of Joan Grande, director of a communications equipment company, and Edward Butera, owner of a graphic design firm. Has Italian roots. She received her name in honor of Princess Oriana from the cartoon Felix the Cat.
Ariana began singing and performing on stage at an early age, participating in local theater productions, sporting events and school plays from the age of eight. She played in the musicals “The Wizard of Oz” and “Beauty and the Beast.” The experience gained eventually brought her to the big stage. At age 15, Grande landed the role of Charlotte in the Broadway play 13, which won a National Youth Theater Association Award. Thanks to her work in the production, Ariana's musical range expanded. “What I love most about '13' is that Jason Robert Brown, who wrote the score, loved to push people to their vocal limits,” the singer later recalled.
The future star's big breakthrough as a child was her participation in the Nickelodeon TV show Victorious in the role of the strange red cat Valentina. Her character, for which she periodically had to be painted red, turned out to be popular enough to get a spin-off Sam & Cat, although it only lasted a year on the air. For each episode of the first season of Victorious, Ariana received $9,000.
Unusual roles suited her. “Gloomy and abnormal. I've always wanted to paint my face like a skeleton or wear a Freddy Krueger mask and have a hockey stick with me at all times. I was like a mini-Helena Bonham Carter,” she described herself in a 2014 interview with Billboard.
Already at the age of 13, Ariana began to think about a pop music career. One day she told her managers that she wanted to record an R&B album. However, they were skeptical about her choice: who would buy an R&B album by a 14-year-old teenager? But Ariana did not give up her dream.
“Music just happened, I never really studied it. I played the horn for several years, which taught me a lot about notes and theory. I play a little piano by ear, but it’s mostly just singing, which I’ve never learned,” she says. Growing up, Grande listened to a lot of Whitney Houston (especially the soundtrack from “The Bodyguard”), Judy Garland and old songs of other divas.

Plumb star
The height of the singer and actress is very small, only 159 cm, so plumpness does not suit her at all. According to media representatives, the girl managed to lose about 5 kg, and now her weight is 47 kg, which is ideal from the point of view of physiological proportions. In the photo where the star is shown before losing weight, you can see that she had appetizing rounded hips, voluminous arms and a pretty round face. However, after correction of her figure, everything changed, Ariana became like an exquisite porcelain figurine with a chiseled silhouette.
Finding yourself and taking off your career
From 2010 to 2013, Ariana recorded her debut album Yours Truly, which included the hits Baby I and Right There. In 2011, she released the single Put Your Hearts Up, which she doesn’t want to remember because the song and its video contradict what she wanted to do.
“It took me so long to find my sound or settle on something that I wanted to do because I want to be able to sing and sing the way I love. But when I performed bubblegum pop, I wasn't allowed to do that. “I thought, ‘You know what, screw it all, I’m going to do what I’ve loved to do since I was a little girl, and I’m going to make R&B, happy music, and I love it,’” the singer describes her musical period. formation.
Yours Truly peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart in the US and reached the top ten in other countries. Billboard magazine also ranked Ariana fourth on its Hottest Breakthroughs of 2013 list. At the 2013 American Music Awards, the girl received the New Artist of the Year award.
Work on the second album moved faster, and My Everything was released in 2014. It also topped the Billboard 200. The lead single, Problem, which really launched the singer's career, reached the top of iTunes in 37 minutes, before it was even played on the radio. The video for the song was recognized as the best according to the MTV Video Music Awards 2014. Three singles in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 - Problem, Break Free and Bang Bang - made Grande second after Adele as a soloist with three songs in the top 10 of this chart.
In 2015, the singer went on her first world tour - The Honeymoon World Tour - in support of her second album. She toured North and South America, Europe and Asia with concerts.
In addition to her four-octave voice, the world also liked Grande's retro image: she dressed like a 1950s teen idol, wearing her hair in a ponytail and trying on cat ears. “I don’t feel confident in my sexuality or my style. First I think about music. I want people to listen, not watch and judge,” she told The Daily News.
Rhinoplasty

If experts argue about Ariana's blepharoplasty, then almost no one doubts about rhinoplasty. At the age of 18, the singer’s nose changed noticeably: the back became narrower, the tip thinner and more graceful. Usually the nose grows with age, but for Grande the opposite situation happened. She not only lost weight, but her nose also shrank significantly. This could not have happened without correction from the surgeon. Moreover, the singer chose the specialist carefully. The operation was completed successfully. The new shape of the nose is in perfect harmony with the rest of the facial features, and interference is not visible. If you don’t compare Ariana’s new look with photos from 10 years ago, you might not guess about the plastic surgery.
Grammy and Beatles record
In May 2016, Grande's third album, Dangerous Woman, was released, debuting immediately in second place on the Billboard 200. Despite this, it is the only one of the singer's albums that never reached the first line. But the album was nominated for a Grammy Award as “Best Pop Vocal Album”, and its main track of the same name was nominated for “Best Pop Solo Performance”. If journalists described the second album as the growth of an aspiring star with Nickelodeon, then the third was already recognized as “mature and confident” (BBC).
Grande’s first Grammy statuette came with her fourth album, Sweetener, released in August 2018, which was recognized at the award as best pop album. That same year, she announced her fifth album, Thank U, Next, which was released a year later. The song of the same name became Grande's first single to spend seven consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
Ariana Grande became the first solo artist whose three singles - 7 Rings, i'm Bored and Thank U, Next - simultaneously took the first three places on the Billboard Hot 100. Before this, only the Beatles in 1964 had done this (though with the first five places at once). year.
Her last two albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next, earned her $48 million in 2022. That same year, she received $8 million by becoming the headliner (and the youngest in the history of the show) of the Coachella festival. Interestingly, headliners usually earn almost half as much - $3-5 million. Ariana Grande's Sweetener World Tour grossed $146 million in 2022.

She periodically donates money to charitable causes, for example, in support of homeless people, orphans, and LGBT+ people. In 2022, Grande supported the Covid-19 Foundation's Project 100 initiative to support families who have suffered greatly during the pandemic.

She easily manages to achieve this result, because the singer is constantly on the move. Ariana says that sometimes she goes on the treadmill. This helps her clear her head:
“Most of my ideas come to me while I'm on the treadmill. If I need songwriting inspiration, I go to practice. So, I came up with the idea for the video for “Side to Side.” I usually listen to '90s hip-hop or whatever gets me going."
You don't need a gym for these exercises. How do you work?
The beginning of a creative journey
When Ariana turned 13 years old, her parents paid for her vocal lessons to the famous Hollywood teacher Eric Vetro. Attending a master class with a famous voice professional was the beginning of her stellar biography.
The aspiring actress’s first serious success came with the role of Charlotte, which she performed as a teenager on Broadway in the musical “13.” Critics praised Ariana's work, which was awarded a prestigious award. Fame as a singer came to the girl at the age of 19 after recording her first disc. The compositions from it entered the country's best charts.
In conclusion
Losing just 5 kg had a huge impact on Ariana’s appearance; she became slimmer and more feminine. Despite the fact that the singer managed to achieve results by adjusting her diet and regulating physical activity, she herself claims that the path to slimness lies through the ability to love yourself.
The star assures that as soon as you learn to accept and respect your body as it is, positive changes will immediately begin, and losing weight will not take long.
Nutrition rules
To achieve results in losing weight, Ariana decided to turn to her friend, star trainer and nutritionist Isaac. It was he who gave her advice on proper nutrition, set bans on certain foods and told her how to choose the right foods so that they were beneficial not only for her figure, but also for the whole body.
Basic principles
- "No!" starchy and fast carbohydrates, sweets, fast food, fatty and high-calorie foods. The category of prohibited foods included pasta, bread, oatmeal, polished rice, and any processed meat products. Sweets can be consumed only once a week and in small quantities, which became the most difficult test for Ariana, because she more than once admitted that she could not live without desserts.
- Including slow carbohydrates in the diet. Such food does not turn into subcutaneous fat deposits; it gives our body energy, which is released gradually. Ariana has breakfast only with organic oatmeal every day, and can use natural muesli as a snack.
- Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. These products contain a lot of useful vitamins and other elements. In addition, they are rich in fiber, which, like a brush, gently cleanses the intestines of toxins and waste. Plant foods also regulate digestion and blood sugar levels. This is very important for Ariana, as she suffers from hypoglycemia, when sugar levels can rise sharply.
- Healthy snacks. Fast food, which the singer previously chose for snacks, was replaced with healthy cashews and almonds. They are high in iron and other nutrients. Also, as a lunch or afternoon snack, the star can treat herself to her favorite strawberries or grapes.
- Much water. Pure still water has become part of Ariana herself; the singer jokes that she never parts with a bottle. Regular consumption of water improves digestion and stabilizes the water-salt balance in the body. In addition to mineral water, the star loves to enjoy coconut water.
- Eating protein foods. Isaac chose boiled eggs and salmon for it. The singer was delighted with this addition to her diet, since salmon is her favorite fish, and she herself said that she could eat it with pleasure every day.
Interesting to know! Now Ariana has completely switched to a vegetarian diet. She eliminated animal foods, fish, seafood, dairy products and eggs from her diet.
The singer states that a plant-based diet is quite capable of making a person full and happy, and she loves animals more than some people.
Physical activity
In addition to a special diet, Isaac helped Ariana regulate her physical activity. He assured the singer that it is not necessary to torture herself in the gym if her body is against such stress. Hiking, light jogging and other simple activities can compensate for exercise equipment.
The singer's set of activities:
- light morning jogging if desired;
- swimming in the pool;
- walking with your beloved dog;
- climbing the Hollywood Hills;
- exercises on an elliptical trainer;
- constant rehearsals of dance routines on high-heeled shoes.
This complex helps Ariana maintain her slim figure to this day. The dancing deserves special attention. It is in high-heeled shoes that it is most difficult to coordinate movements, because such training develops excellent physical endurance, dexterity and plasticity.
The singer also finds 15 minutes for meditation every day. She assures that the practices help her understand herself and clear her thoughts.
