History Music / ArianaGrande

* StepfordSmiler: Defied in "Fake Smile". Rather than the narrator forcing herself to smile to keep up appearances, she decides that she's already fed-up and chooses to make her displeasure clear because she "can't fake another smile".
-->If I'm hurt I ain't gon lie about it\\

* MsFanservice: She is a very beautiful female who tends to wear outfits that show off her nice body and legs. While she is always attractive, she is especially this trope in the music videos for "Love Me Harder" and "Dangerous Woman" because of the way she looks and moves in those videos.

* CelebrityBreakUpSong: "thank u, next" references her break-ups with Music/BigSean, [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Pete Davidson]], and Music/MacMiller.

She is also the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the city of Manchester. In the spring of 2021, she married real estate broker Dalton Gomez.

* {{Retraux}}: In the lyric and official music videos for "Problem", the lyric video was set with a retro style from 1960s art movement containing a black, white, and old-fashioned aesthetic and opens on a sparkling figure where Grande appears in a sequined minidress and white go go boots with her dancers backed by a spiral backdrop. Iggy Azalea is shown in front of a colorful background, and her hairstyle is reminiscent of Barbarella and Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" (1966) video. The video also contains intercepted scenes of Grande lying atop a giant spiral on a pink floor wearing a white sweater and high socks.

Ariana's half-brother Frankie Grande was a houseguest on the sixteenth season of the US ''Series/BigBrother''. Ariana herself returned to TV in 2015 with Creator/RyanMurphy's ''[[Series/ScreamQueens2015 Scream Queens]]'', and in December 2016 she played Penny on Creator/{{NBC}}'s live presentation of ''Theatre/{{Hairspray}}''. She will return to film acting with 2021’s ''Don’t Look Up''.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Actually the subject of a short joke during one of her SNL sketches. Apparently she's "just ''very'' Italian" and is a known spray tanner. This is also a gag in ''Scream Queens'' - where Chanel #5 says at her funeral that it's a shame she died before they worked out what ethnicity she was. She was the only non-blonde in the clique.

* ''[[Film/ExcuseMeUmILoveYou #excusemeiloveyou]]'' Netflix documentary (2020) as herself
* ''[[Film/DontLookUp Don't Look Up]]'' (2021) as Riley Bina

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Almost always keeps it at a 1 or 2, but tracks like "Dangerous Woman" and "Into You" can go up to a 3. "God is a Woman" is a heavy 5. The lyrics point unambiguously but non-explicitly to sexual activity, while using poetic and religious metaphors to convey a wholesome message of female empowerment.

* ''[[Film/{{Hairspray}} Hairspray Live]]'' (2016) as Penny Pingleton

%% Please avoid adding GettingCrapPastTheRadar for anything past her Nickelodeon days as she no longer has a "radar" to deal with in her independent career.
