Everyone mentions Mariah which obviously makes sense but Beyoncé's influence is all over Ariana's discography. The staccato rap singing (ex: 7 rings). True Story sounds like a Destiny Child song from the late 90s/early 00s. The Beyoncé influence flies under the radar because Ariana and Bey are tonally different. Didnt Ari take that demo of REM from Bey and put it in Sweetener. Haha

Even when hearing TUN and the two albums after, the way the albums are built has B's influences from ST on. 1

Ariana does a good empowerment anthem which Beyoncé was known for as well, not so much Mariah in that regard. I can never see Mariah doing something like 7 rings, God is a woman, Dangerous Woman, etc. but I can 100% see Bey doing those songs. Edited March 20 by Tm4074 1
PrudenceHCharmed Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Why are newer artists releasing so quick? 20 years in and Beyoncé only on album #7 while Ariana debuted in 2013 already matched that number.

Imagine calling yourself a queen when you're getting lapped by a Nickelodeon star How is that embarrassing? This doesn't even count Destinys child hits. And also labeling "Ariana" as a Nickelodeon star this far into her career after all she's accomplished is mad insulting. The girl debuted in the 2013 and is already being grouped with Icons who debuted decades before her. 2
