Line #10 YMMV/ArianaGrande


1	* AwardSnub: When Music/BillieEilish won Album of the Year at the 2020 UsefulNotes/{{Grammy Award}}s, she said outright during her acceptance speech that she thought the award should've instead gone to Ariana for ''Thank U, Next''.
2	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Many fans considered the "screaming beavers" in the "God is a woman" music video to be this.
3	* BrokenBase: The sample of the man saying "You wouldn't let anybody speak and instead—" looped endlessly on "the light is coming" is a hot button topic among fans who argue whether the sample ruins the song and is very distracting or if it's fine and sends an important message.[[note]]The sample comes from that of a man shouting at Senator Arlen Specter at a town hall meeting in Pennsylvania in 2009. As Pharrell Williams produced this song, he borrowed the same town hall meeting he sampled on his song "Lemon" under his act Music/{{NERD}}.[[/note]]
4	* FandomRivalry:
5	** Oddly enough, with her own ''Series/SamAndCat'' co-star Creator/JennetteMcCurdy. What doesn't help are the rumors that [[HostilityOnTheSet they didn't get along backstage]], which contributed to ''Sam & Cat''[='=]s cancellation, even though she and Jennette don't even harbor any animosity to one another.[[note]]Jennette resented the fact that she frequently had to carry the whole show due to Ariana's busy music career while Jennette never got the same opportunities, but that resentment was aimed squarely at the producers.[[/note]]
6	** Her fanbase does ''NOT'' get along with [[Music/MariahCarey the Lambs]]. This is mainly due to Ariana fans seeing her as a SpiritualSuccessor to Mariah Carey ([[BlatantLies or flat out refusing to acknowledge the similarities between the singers, despite Ariana admitting that Mariah influenced her]]) while Mariah's fanbase sees her as an annoying knock off of their favorite singer.
7	*** Though nowadays, Mariah and Ariana seem to actually be getting along quite swimmingly. The rivalry has definitely died down after they collaborated with Music/JenniferHudson on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2bx3FzgJ6o "Oh Santa!"]] where they [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome both even pulled off whistle notes together]].
8	** There's a lot of tension between Arianators and fans of Music/SelenaGomez, as well as fans of Music/TaylorSwift.
9	* {{Fanon}}: Some fans consider the meaning of "God Is A Woman" to be about God taking a female form as AFormYouAreComfortableWith instead of the traditional GrandpaGod form that they think is God's true form.
10	* FriendlyFandoms:
11	** Ariana's fans got along with Music/TheWanted's fanbase pretty well when Ariana and Nathan began dating.
12	** Her song "yes, and?" has resulted in a three-way connection between her, Music/{{Madonna}}, and Music/{{Beyonce}}. This is because "yes, and?" is a 90's styled ballroom house track heavily inspired by Madonna's "Vogue"; additionally, a year and a half prior, Beyoncé released a popular remix of her Billboard-topping hit [[Music/Renaissance2022 "Break My Soul"]] that samples "Vogue" itself. It helps that both "yes, and?" and "Break My Soul" are both about female empowerment in the face of stress and adversity. Tons of mashups of "yes, and?", "Vogue", and "Break My Soul (Queens Remix)" were made within hours of the former's release.
13	* HarsherInHindsight:
14	** "no tears left to cry". As the next year and album proved, there were still plenty.
15	** "pete davidson", after they broke up.
16	** The lyrics to "thank u, next" became this after her separation and eventual divorce from her ex-husband Dalton Gomez in 2023.
17	** "break up with your girlfriend, I'm bored", after the alleged homewrecking controversy surrounding her and her ''Wicked'' co-star Ethan Slater. The song has also recently been used to reinforce rumors about her allegedly pursuing men in relationships.
18	* HeartwarmingInHindsight: "[[BreakUpSong thank u, next]]" is this after she finally got married.
19	* HilariousInHindsight: "Popular Song" samples "Popular" from ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}''. Years later, it was announced she would be playing Glinda in the movie version and thus singing the song.
20	* HoYay:
21	** Ariana Grande stealing her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend in "break up, with your girlfriend, I'm bored".
22	** A lot with her best friend and ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' co-star Creator/ElizabethGillies. A leaked video shows them even sharing a test kiss for fun.
23	* ItsPopularNowItSucks: She as an artist has become this with her detractors particularly after the release of "thank u, next".
24	* MemeticMutation:
25	** At the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in London, during a performance of one of her songs, she gets hit by a model's angel wings. Ariana's reaction to being hit has already gone viral. Here are a [[http://www.bustle.com/articles/52012-ariana-grandes-victorias-secret-reaction-face-is-meme-worthy-gold-so-youre-welcome-memes few]], [[http://mashable.com/2014/12/03/ariana-grande-victorias-secret-fashion-show/ examples]].
26	** Her song “thank u, next” has the line “one taught me love, one taught me patience, and one taught me pain” which many people took and applied to TV characters and [[https://swoon.theodysseyonline.com/best-thank-u-next-memes regular day situations]].
27	** Her spray tanning is a source of many memes, especially when it comes to comparing to how she looked back in her ''Victorious'' days.
28	** The Ariana Grande School of Diction[[labelnote:Explanation]]Coined by Jeremy from [[WebVideo/CinemaSins Music Video Sins]], Ariana's enunciation can be a bit difficult to understand sometimes which led to jokes about how she runs a school for strange diction. Fans also make jokes about misheard lyrics and what it sounds like she's actually singing. [[MemeAcknowledgment Ariana is aware of her enunciation and rolls with it.]][[/labelnote]]
29	** [[VerbalTic "YUH."]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Ariana says this in a lot of her songs that fans have likened it to her CatchPhrase.[[/labelnote]]
30	** "Excuse me, umm..........I love you."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A lyric from "R.E.M." became a meme where the pause between the "um" and "I love you" is edited to be as long as uncomfortably possible. [[MemeAcknowledgment Ariana seems to have acknowledged the popularity]] as she even named her Creator/{{Netflix}} documentary after this lyric.[[/labelnote]]
31	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uDQ0P9AWc8 This '80's-style remix]] of ''Into You'' lead to comments pretending that Ariana Grande actually made the song in the '80's and was an active singer at the time. This snowballed into various other jokes and formed their own canon storyline. [[labelnote:Explanation]]She dated Prince, but cheated on him with Michael Jackson. At some point, she got high and was run over by Madonna, resulting in her death.[[/labelnote]]
32	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leg476SBfgY And what about it?]]
33	* {{Moe}}: Ariana's youthful and bubbly looks and personality won the hearts of many and endeared them to her music.
34	* ParanoiaFuel: These lyrics from the track "Touch It" sound frightening once you stop and think about it:
35	--> '''Ariana:''' How do you know I'm breathing when I'm holding my breath?
36	* RainbowLens: The song "Break Free" has been interpreted by some of her fanbase as a coming out anthem.
37	* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: As it says in the main article, many people are surprised that she ''started out'' as a Broadway and television actress, having started out in an ''Theatre/{{Annie}}'' production as the title character among other things.
38	* SignatureSong: At first, "The Way" was considered this, then "God is a woman" was a huge success, and then "thank u, next" was unanimously considered by most fans to be her definitive signature song.
39	* SongAssociation: "Greedy" from ''Dangerous Woman.'' If you're a fan of ''Series/RupaulsDragRace,'' then you know "Greedy" as the song Creator/{{Valentina}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tqkbBmUL9c didn't know the words to.]]
40	* ToughActToFollow: According to a number of her fans and reviewers, ''Thank U, Next'' is this, as it's viewed as one of her best albums in terms of range, lyrical story telling and vocals. Because of this, the album ''Positions'' that she released in 2020, about a year after ''Thank U, Next'' was received less warmly due to feeling rather monotone in comparison.
41	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Ariana has a lot of young fangirls due to the fact she began as a Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} child star and she has a "beautiful" look to her. A good number of her singles are rather clean, however not all are. For example, "Dangerous Woman" and "Into You" both have veiled references to sex. Her albums from ''Dangerous Woman'' onwards have Parental Advisory warnings, with ''Music/ThankUNext'' and ''Positions'' getting into ClusterFBomb territory.
