Ariana Grande BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Ariana Grande has had an eventful week marked by both triumph and controversy as she promotes the highly anticipated Wicked: For Good film hitting theaters on November 21st.
The pop star made her first public appearance since a frightening incident at the Singapore premiere on November 13th, when a 26-year-old fan identified as Johnson Wen jumped a barricade and grabbed her. Cynthia Erivo quickly intervened, pulling Grande to safety in a moment that went viral across social media. The fan was detained and later sentenced to community service. Grande later posted to Instagram simply thanking Singapore and expressing love for the city, without directly addressing the incident.
Grande debuted a striking new brunette hair color at the Governors Awards on November 16th, where she stunned in a pale pink Dior gown with beaded details. E! News reported that she and co-star Erivo walked the red carpet together on November 17th at the Wicked: For Good premiere in New York City, with Grande expressing overwhelming gratitude for the opportunity to complete the story of these characters they've spent nearly five years developing.
However, her appearance has sparked significant concern among fans and observers. Social media users have expressed worry about her physical health, with many commenting on visible weight loss and describing her as looking frail. Critics note that Grande has previously stated she dislikes commentary on her body. Some fans also scrutinized her interactions with Cynthia Erivo, with online discussions characterizing their dynamic as unusually intense, though others praised their evident sisterhood and support for one another.
On the professional front, Grande is set to host Saturday Night Live's Christmas special on December 20th with Cher as the musical guest, marking her third time as host. She's also confirmed involvement in the upcoming American Horror Story season launching Halloween 2026, though details remain scarce. Additionally, Grande was nominated for a Grammy award alongside Erivo, which both actresses called a tremendous honor during their red carpet interview.
NBC is heavily promoting Wicked Week on The Tonight Show, with Grande scheduled to sit down with Jimmy Fallon on November 18th. Cynthia Erivo appeared on the show November 17th, while Michelle Yeoh is set to appear November 19th as the countdown to the film's release continues.
