Ariana Grande BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ariana Grande has been making major headlines this week, both in pop culture and the business world, as her presence at the 2025 Oscars as a Best Supporting Actress nominee for Wicked reignites discussion about her multifaceted career. On Oscars red carpet coverage from Variety and confirmed by multiple entertainment outlets, Ariana, 31, playfully teased that new music—even a possible deluxe edition of her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine—could be imminent, sparking fresh anticipation among her fans. While she poked fun at the notoriously secretive rollout plans with coy references to the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, she refused to commit to the word soon, joking that her fans consider 'soon' to mean less than 10 days. According to Parade, she sent an elaborate set of gifts to nine-year-old influencer Brielle Bird, who is battling cancer, packing the care box with Wicked-inspired plushies and a personal video message, reinforcing her reputation for hands-on fan engagement and compassion. Entertainment reporters from Parade note that on the acting front, Ariana has joined the cast of the upcoming Focker In-Law film, playing a character described by The Hollywood Reporter as a delightfully combative foil in the next installment of the beloved franchise.

Social media was abuzz this week, with fans picking up on Instagram—via accounts like agbdailyupdates and arianagrandepress—that Ariana reunited with Cynthia Erivo for Wicked press activities and dropped a new fragrance, r.e.m. Cherry Eclipse, adding another win to her thriving beauty business. At the same time, Just Jared and Billboard-style aggregators picked up on Ariana’s direct Instagram refutation of any rumors that she’s retiring from music. She made it clear to her nearly 400 million followers that music is her lifeline and her acting and beauty projects will never eclipse her creative identity as an artist. She added a teaser for potential live performances in 2026, though stopped short of revealing details—fueling speculation of a tour or residency but offering nothing concrete beyond her own playful hints.

On the business side, Instagram fans flagged that nearly 50 items were suddenly pulled from Ariana Grande’s official merch shop last week, causing rampant speculation on X and TikTok. However no official comment has been made, so the meaning behind this digital spring cleaning remains pure rumor. Lastly, even as she skipped the 2025 Met Gala to keep a lower public profile and focus on her new music and film obligations, her support for friends—like her Broadway outing with Ethan Slater and Liz Gillies—reminded the world she balances worldwide stardom with close personal ties. This convergence of Oscar buzz, teasing new projects, heartfelt gestures, and public statements on her career proves that Ariana Grande’s every move is not just news—it’s a cultural event with lasting resonance.
