Ariana Grande, the 33-year-old singer, songwriter, and actress, has decided to withdraw from the public spotlight. Her career, which began in the early 2000s, has been marked by both significant artistic achievements and intense media scrutiny.
Grande's early career included theatre productions and a role as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon TV series Victorious from 2010 to 2013, and its spin-off Sam And Cat. She transitioned to music with her debut album, Yours Truly, in 2013, which reached number seven in the UK charts.
Her musical success continued with her second studio album, My Everything, in 2014, featuring number one singles such as Problem and Bang Bang. Grande also returned to acting in 2024, starring as Glinda in the film adaptation of Wicked, a role that earned her an Oscar nomination in 2025 for best supporting actress.
