It doesn't make any sense, they think of them as the Disney girls and Hollywood Records, Nickelodeon had  nothing to do with Ariana's music career nor did they invest any money to push her success, it was all her label/team job. They weren't competing for a single spot, Ariana did her own thing WHILE still doing her 9-5 job on Nickelodeon. 

Right. It makes no sense when you look at the actual receipts, not the fanfiction written by the chronically online that love to create fake dramatic narratives about real people for entertainment. Ariana's A&R Wendy Goldstein and the CEO of Republic Records Monte Lipman are both on the record stating they found Ariana on Youtube, they had no idea she was on a popular sitcom for teens. Ariana was huge and went viral on both Youtube and Twitter many times in the early 2010s. She had a massive online following. Scooter then signed Ariana to his management after he found her on Youtube covering Die in Your Arms by Justin in 2012. Ariana used Victorious as a launching pad to build a platform, not a vehicle for success. Her career was launched completely independent of Nickelodeon. It's pretty obvious by doing a simple Google search when you notice Ariana's label is under Universal Music Group and Nickelodeon is affiliated with their direct competitor Sony. Case closed. 

 

my friend and my sister told me to listen to twilight zone and wow

 

 

 

 

 

ROBERT DE NIROOO AND BEN STILLER???

Ok so the movies apparently are rom-com genre, all three previous one were box office successes keeping in mind their budget, but the third one was really panned 

Lets hope it's more like the first film which has amazing reviews

While much of the plot remains under lock and key, THR can reveal that one point revolves around the son of Stiller and Polo's characters, who gets engaged to a ball-busting woman who seems all wrong for him. Sources say Grande will play the fiancée.

Meet the Parents 1 and 2 are so good. 

This also probably means that she'll keep working with Universal Studios, she rejected roles from Sony and Warner Bros, and chose this one from Universal

I wouldn't be surprised if she joins another Universal properties, like Jurassic World (Jonathan Bailey is in it), Zoolander or Mamma Mia

I'm slightly disappointed. I wanted more dark role. Let's hope she solidifies herself as a comedy queen though

Oh wow!!! 

I kept thinking what role and movie Ariana would play in after the Wicked films are done and something comedic like this seems like a really good fit for her.

Her Life and Music, Era by Era
The up-to-date and authoritative story of one of the world's greatest artists, Ariana Grande, and what her eras and songs reveal about her as a person.

From Yours Truly to Wicked, Dangerous Woman to Eternal Sunshine, this is the ultimate and most up-to-date music biography of Ariana Grande, taking you on a fascinating journey through her eras.

Pop icon, cultural superstar and the wearer of the most successful high ponytail in music history, Ariana Grande is the most streamed female artist ever. She has countless number one singles and albums under her belt but shows no sign of slowing down.

And how could she? Ariana's voice is a once-in-a-generation calling card. It's helped her transform from a children's TV actress to a debutante pop girlie in the making, on to a dominant force in pop music and someone who has shaped the careers of artists coming after her, and, now on to her latest and most surprising role yet; Oscar-nominated actress.

But who is Ariana Grande? And what does her music say about her?

This is the ultimate fan's book that will delve into the creation of her inimitable songs, as well as the astonishing woman who sings them.

 

Happy birthday @Ariana Grande  

 

the way I still listen to this daily ever since the release... this remix is just amazing 

Had fun tonight trying to imagine what the next tour is going to look like 

 

 

When is she going to confirm (or refute) the supposed tour dates l34k ? We are tired

I think this fall

Those are fake dates but I'm guessing she will officially announce by November-ish. I'm sure her team already booked venues or at least have tentative tour dates set. She teased the Sweetener World Tour on Twitter in May 2018 and officially announced the tour in October 2018. 

 

I'm curious if we are getting AG8 before tour. Touring ES 2+ years later doesn't really make sense and going on a "greatest hits" tour seems premature. I think we are getting a new album next year right after Wicked press/award season. Bieber successfully executing the surprise release leads me to believe her team will use that strategy by releasing AG8 all at once like they should have done for ES lol. She might announce it ahead of time to get pre-orders but no pre-release singles (ex: Billie's HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, Taylor's album releases). 

Not sure if I ever posted in here before but, is everytime going viral? It's one of my favorite Ari songs

Yes it's having a mini viral moment on TikTok! everytime also had a brief viral moment in 2023 using the same TikTok sound but this time it seems to be doing even better reaching its biggest streaming peak on Spotify since its release in 2018. 

 

More proof everytime should have been the third single from Sweetener and not breathin'. I love breathin' but pushing a dance-pop song over a trap-pop song during the height of the trap era in 2018 was peak stupid. Even without the viral sound on TikTok everytime outstreams breathin' daily on Spotify.

 

Ariana's team is very consistent with botching post-album single releases lmao. breathin' over everytime. pov and the boy is mine rollout both were giant missed opportunities to capitalize when both were going viral on TikTok and peaking on streaming. motive not being pushed as a single when it was going viral too. Needs to be studied how often they mess up post-album singles when the GP give them viral moments to work with lmfao.

Yaaay, I'm so happy! Hope it keeps getting bigger.

 

And about the bolded part, I think it's a pop girl's career thing. The amount of times Gaga and her team killed potential singles since her first era is absurd.

Honestly think Dangerous Woman might end up being her biggest album, when all is said done.
