ARIANA GRANDE

Ariana Grande, the unstoppable pop sensation, is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in 2023. While many may view the past year as challenging, Grande has embraced it as a year of personal and creative growth, setting her apart as a true industry powerhouse.

 

Grande's 2023 has been nothing short of remarkable. Every month seems to bring a new life-changing creative endeavor, million-dollar business deals, or historic acts of labor solidarity. She has become the epitome of productivity and passion, making the rest of us look like "unemployed slackers" in comparison.

 

One of Grande's standout accomplishments this year is her decision to re-record songs from her debut album, "Yours Truly," in honor of its 10th anniversary. Her intention is to surprise and delight her fans with this special edition, revealing the essence of her unwavering commitment to her music and her audience.

 

While we can't help but admire her tireless work ethic, she reflects on how young she was when she first entered the world of pop stardom. But with a clear vision and determination, she navigated the challenging path of the music industry.

 

Grande's venture into the film world is equally exciting. She's been diligently working on the "Wicked" movie since 2022, where she takes on the role of Galinda the Good Witch. However, the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike has temporarily halted production, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more details about her transformative experience in London.

 

While Grande is eager to discuss her creative projects, she is even more enthusiastic about her new Sweetener Foundation, a philanthropic initiative attached to her makeup line, r.e.m. beauty. Set to launch on August 24, this foundation highlights her commitment to making a positive impact in the world.

 

The conversation turns to her makeup line and its transformation in recent times. Grande now has complete control over r.e.m. beauty, a move she discusses with a gentle decisiveness. Her approach mirrors the theme of respect and collaboration as she navigates the evolving beauty industry landscape. Forma Brands, previously involved with r.e.m. beauty, filed for bankruptcy in January 2023, but Grande's graceful takeover of the brand's physical assets has ensured a bright future. With the addition of Michelle Shigemasa as the new chief executive, the brand is on track to continue its growth.

 

Ariana Grande's spectacular 2023 is a testament to her unwavering passion for her craft and her ever-evolving creative journey. From her reimagined music to her philanthropic endeavors and her transformative role in "Wicked," Grande is undeniably an inspirational figure in the world of entertainment.
