Ariana Grande BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ariana Grande has been a constant fixture in the headlines this past week with a cascade of both career and personal developments sure to energize her devoted fanbase and pop culture watchers alike. Just days ago, The Hollywood news cycle buzzed with confirmation from outlets like iHeart that Grande is joining Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller in the highly anticipated Meet the Parents franchise film Focker In-Law, marking her first major comedic feature role and stirring immediate speculation about her expanding ambitions in Hollywood. Social media erupted on Threads with fans dissecting every casting rumor and hype about her on-set chemistry with industry icons—proof that Grande’s move into film continues to be a headline driver.

Her music career remains just as dynamic. According to AOL and People, Grande has addressed swirling rumors that she’s abandoning music for acting, firmly shutting them down via Instagram stories and a fresh burst of commentary. She reaffirmed her plans to keep singing, revealing she and her team are considering a string of selective “miniature” tour dates inspired by her hugely successful 2024 album Eternal Sunshine. While Republic Records clarified there are currently no full-scale tour plans for 2025, Grande herself said on the Shut Up Evan podcast that she’s intent on giving fans a sampling of live performances amidst her busy schedule, a move that would mark her return to stage after the Sweetener World Tour in 2019.

Meanwhile, the impact of Eternal Sunshine is far from fading. Wikipedia and music industry coverage highlight her March reissue, Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead, which not only marked her directorial debut alongside Christian Breslauer with a short film, but also sent the album back to the top of international charts, strengthening Grande’s reputation as one of pop’s most innovative forces. Her collaboration on Barbra Streisand’s new album, joining Mariah Carey for a star-studded track, has been described by USA Today as the pop “holy trinity” coming together, even if the ballad itself polarized critics.

Fashion-wise, she’s also the face of Swarovski’s spring summer campaign, dazzling in rainbow crystal looks shot by Mert and Marcus as reported by ELLE UK and further celebrated her adventurous style on Instagram. At awards ceremonies, she turned heads at the 2025 SAG Awards with Cynthia Erivo, channeling their Wicked personas on the red carpet—a continued thread in her public appearances as Glinda in Universal’s Wicked films, with part two slated for November.

In sum, Grande’s week was a showcase of her multi-hyphenate energy—breaking news in film, reshaping music releases, slaying in elite brand campaigns, and silencing the doubters with a cool show of career defiance. Her every move is not just news, but a signal of her evolving power in entertainment.
