Grande's second studio album, My Everything (2014), continued the pop-R&B sound of its predecessor and incorporated EDM elements. It topped the Billboard 200 and featured four US top-ten singles: "Problem", "Break Free", "Bang Bang", and "Love Me Harder" featuring The Weeknd, the most of any artist that year. Grande's pop-R&B styles extended on her third studio album, Dangerous Woman (2016), which was her first of three consecutive number-one albums in the UK, and spawned top ten hits such as the Grammy nominated title track and "Side to Side".
On her next two albums, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019), Grande experimented with trap while maintaining her characteristic pop-R&B tones; being projects with her most creative control yet and showing a more personal and vulnerable side, both debuted at number one in several countries and were acclaimed by music critics. The former won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album and spawned the international top three hit "No Tears Left to Cry", while the latter broke several streaming records. Grande became the first solo artist to hold the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously when "7 Rings", "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" and "Thank U, Next" did so in 2019. She is also the first artist to have the lead singles from each of their first six studio albums debut within the top ten in the US.
Grande released her sixth studio album, Positions (2020) with its lead single, "Positions" debuting at number one in the US and the UK simultaneously. The song became her third number one hit in the US following "Stuck With U" in collaboration with Justin Bieber and "Rain On Me", also in collaboration with Lady Gaga. A deluxe version of Positions was released in February 2021, with four new songs and a remix of "34+35" featuring Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion. The remix helped the song peak at number two, the highest-charting song credited to three or more female soloist since 2001 when "Lady Marmalade" performed by Christina Aguilera, Mýa, P!nk, and Lil Kim peaked at number one. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming her fifth album to do so. In April 2021, a remix of The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears" was released featuring Grande. The song reached number one in both the US Hot 100 and the Canadian Hot 100. It spent a total of 69 weeks in the US charts, becoming one of the ten longest-running songs in that chart since its publication.
In November 2021, it was announced that Grande would star in the two-part film adaptation of the musical Wicked. The movie is set to release on November 24th, 2024.
Ariana Grande’s highly anticipated seventh studio album “eternal sunshine" was released on March 8th, 2024. The title references to one of her favourite films, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” which stars Jim Carrey. The lead single “yes, and?" was released on January 12, 2024.

Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, everybody's tired
And healin' from somebody
Or somethin' we don't see just right
Boy, come on, put your lipstick on (no one can tell you nothin')
Come on and walk this way through the fire (don't care what's on their mind)
And if you find yourself in a dark situation
"Yes, and?"
Say that shit with your chest, and
Be your own fuckin' best friend
Say that shit with your chest
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?"
Now, I'm so done with caring
What you think, no, I won't hide
Underneath your own projections
Or change my most authentic life
Boy, come on, put your lipstick on (no one can tell you nothin')
Come on and walk this way through the fire (don't care what's on their mind)
And if you find yourself in a dark situation
Just turn on your light and be like
"Yes, and?"
Say that shit with your chest, and
Be your own fuckin' best friend
Say that shit with your chest
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?" (Yeah)
My tongue is sacred, I speak upon what I like
Protected, sexy, discerning with my time (my time)
Your energy is yours and mine is mine (it's mine, it's mine)
What's mine is mine
My face is sitting, I don't need no disguise (I don't need no disguise)
Don't comment on my body, do not reply
Your business is yours and mine is mine
Why do you care so much whose- I ride?
Why?
"Yes, and?" (Yes, and?)
Say that shit with your chest, and (say that shit with your chest)
Be your own fuckin' best friend (oh, be your own, be your own)
Say that shit with your chest (say that shit with your chest, baby)
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?"
"Yes, and?"
Say that shit with your chest, and
Be your own fuckin' best (be your own) friend
Say that shit with your chest
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?" (Yeah)

@boredcarmen8291
Even if she is innocent in this particular situation... they cannot deny the fact she has history in starting a relationship with men in relationships: hence "Break up with your gf I'm bored"
Some of her fans, are still blinded so here's my research:
1.) according to Naya Rivera (RIP) in her book... she was ghosted for days... so she went to Sean's place ( they're not broken up yet) and Ariana was sitting on the couch, the 2 of them... Ari is always there... when someone brakes up isn't it? and guess what happened next? Sean and Ari started dating
🤣
Ari has been spending time with Sean during the ghosting time... read between the lines.
and Naya is 100% right about Ariana being sus... and I'm glad everyone can see it now👍🏽
Thank you, next.
2.) Then, in 2018,
Cazzie (Pete Davidson's ex) found out about Grande and Davidson’s romance while aboard an airplane with her father, Larry David. “I scrolled through Twitter and saw that my ex of one day had a new girlfriend,” she wrote. “I think I probably left my human body. My dad held me as I shook uncontrollably in his arms for the entire flight.”
she slithered her way in again in another relationship... Ariana was spending time with Pete days before the brake up (a lot of pictures online I cant post them here)... please read between the lines...
3.) even Dalton Gomez ex posted something about about her after Ari and Dalton went official...
"when your man tells you dont worry about a certain girl... worry about her"
see, I'm doing all the research for them. you are welcome. May the universe give Ariana and her fans (just the fans defending her Immorality) the pain she caused these women. One day you'll have an "ariana" that will take your significant other away... 🕷
And soon karma will hit them in the face and say "Yes, and?"
@momentsofloveromantic
Feels like something H&M would blast in their clothing stores honestly
@YeeHaww

@josephriley2034
1:06 this song reminds me of Black Swan Natalie Portman:
Seems like Ariana Grande was doing business interview at a rustic warehouse; there were a bunch of medieval sculptures.
