Her journey began with acting roles in Nickelodeon shows 'Victorious' (2010-2013) and 'Sam & Cat' (2013-2014). However, her vocal talents soon became the focal point of her career, especially after the release of her debut album 'Yours Truly' in 2013.

Recently, Grande has been focusing on her acting career. She is currently involved in the filming of the 'Wicked' movies in London, where she plays the role of Glinda. Her commitment to this project was underscored by her decision to skip the 2023 Met Gala, a significant event in the fashion and entertainment calendar.

In addition to her professional endeavors, Grande has used her platform to address social issues. She recently released a candid TikTok video discussing body image and mental health, urging people to refrain from making comments about others' bodies.
