Ariana Grande Dyed Her Ponytail Purple — Photos


Ariana Grande’s been playing a lot with styling her signature ponytail, most recently adding a healthy dose of ’60s-era flounce to it. Now, she’s gone a step further and changed the color entirely.

The artist’s longtime hairstylist Chris Appleton posted a photo of Grande during pre-performance prep on Instagram in which she’s sporting a purple skirt, purple tank top, purple fingerless gloves and, yes, purple hair. “Lavender pony’s change lives,” he captioned the photo.

Grande makes no secret of her love of hair extensions, but it appears as though her (IRL shoulder-length) hair has actually been dyed a cool lavender-gray. About an inch of brown hair remains at the root, while the rest of her ponytail goes from lavender-gray to lavender-blonde to pure pastel.

If Grande did in fact make the move towards rainbow hair, she’s hardly the first celeb to choose Appleton for the job. He’s taken Kim Kardashian from pink to brown and back again more times than we can count and just so happens to be the mastermind behind this ice-blue shade.

Fans are fawning over the new look in the comment section, with some already planning to try out purple themselves. “Gorgeous as always!” added one commenter. “Purple perfection,” wrote another.

With Grande’s career moving at the speed of light, we doubt she has much time to sit around bleaching, coloring, and toning her hair to this pastel shade very often, so it’s hard to predict how long this color will stay around. One thing’s for sure though: Even when she goes back to brunette, her ponytail is coming with her.

Ariana Grande Reveals How Mac Miller's Death Led to Her Thank U, Next Album


Ariana Grande has never been the kind of pop star to shy away from being vulnerable. She shares her highs and her lows with her fans regularly on social media and isn’t afraid to cry on stage if she needs to. And she continues her transparency in a new interview with Vogue magazine, where no topic—from Manchester to Pete Davidson—seemed off-limits.

Some of the most heartbreaking moments in the interview come as she discusses the aftermath of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller’s death. (He passed away in September 2018 due to an accidental overdose.) At one point the writer, Rob Haskell, asks Grande “whether it is fair to call [her album] Thank U, Next a response to Miller’s death.” She gets teary and replies, “It’s just hard to hear it so plainly put.”

She says that after Miller’s death, her friends in New York City rallied around her and suggested maybe recording some music. “My friends know how much solace music brings me, so I think it was an all-around, let’s-get-her-there type situation,” she said. “But if I’m completely honest, I don’t remember those months of my life because I was (a) so drunk and (b) so sad. I don’t really remember how it started or how it finished, or how all of a sudden there were 10 songs on the board.”

“I think that this is the first album and also the first year of my life where I’m realizing that I can no longer put off spending time with myself, just as me,” she continued. “I’ve been boo’d up my entire adult life. I’ve always had someone to say goodnight to. So Thank U, Next was this moment of self-realization. It was this scary moment of ‘Wow, you have to face all this stuff now. No more distractions. You have to heal all this shit.’ ”

Grande says her Coachella performance was also emotionally-charged because of the memories of Miller that came with it. “I never thought I’d even go to Coachella,” she said. “I was always a person who never went to festivals and never went out and had fun like that. But the first time I went was to see Malcolm perform, and it was such an incredible experience. I went the second year as well, and I associate…heavily…it was just kind of a mindfuck, processing how much has happened in such a brief period.”

Ariana Grande Ditched Her Ponytail for the First Time in Months, and Twitter Lost It


Ariana Grande is recognized for her gravity-defying ponytail almost as often as her Grammy-winning bops and cloud-colored Instagram. So when she decides to take her hair down from its usual pedestal, we notice.

Well, it looks like the singer is making a concerted effort to let her hair down more often this summer. On the Sweetener World Tour, Grande has ditched her signature high ponytail for pin-straight, loose hair several nights in a row. It’s the first time she’s been seen with this hairstyle since 2018, when she wore it down for the MTV VMAs. Naturally, fans have a lot to say about it.

The new-old look kicked off on the Chicago stop of her tour on Friday night (June 7). There, she posted a backstage snapshot from the tour on Instagram, where she’s seen in a plaid tour costume and waist-length, straight hair. The caption was about her pre-show snack of choice (blueberries, FYI), but the comments largely focused on her surprising hairstyle. “This hair is EVERYTHING,” user ponyy_boyy wrote.

Next, ahead of her performance in Nashville, Grande shared another snap with her hair down. This time, she wrote about fellow singer Miley Cyrus‘ performance on Black Mirror season 5 before acknowledging her out-of-the-ordinary hairstyle. “also my hair is down again,” she said.

And she’s not putting it back up anytime soon: On Saturday night’s stop in Atlanta, Grande’s ponytail was nowhere to be found.

With such a large spotlight trained on her hair—a silhouette of her ponytail has its own Givenchy campaign, for goodness’ sake—fans couldn’t contain their excitement at seeing Grande try something different.

Fans Are Convinced Ariana Grande Will Perform With 'NSync at Coachella


Ariana Grande is set to perform as the youngest-ever headliner at the 2019 Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival tonight (April 14) in Indio, California. But there might be another surprise in store: Very excited, eagle-eyed fans are theorizing that four members of ‘NSync (Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and JC Chasez) are set to join her on stage.

They’re drawing their conclusions from two different ‘NSync-themed videos the “Sweetener” singer recently posted to her Twitter account after TMZ published a report that seems to confirm a vague “collaboration” that’s “definitely” set to take place on Sunday.

On April 11, Grande shared throwback footage of her younger self and her mother, Joan Grande, at a late-‘90s ‘NSync concert. A young Grande and her mother are seen singing along to the boy band’s hit song “It Makes Me Ill.”

Then, just one hour later, the Grammy award winner posted a second video to her account with the caption, “the best medicine 90s baby.” In the 9- second clip, a present day Grande lip-syncs and dances to the group’s hit single “Tearin’ Up My Heart” with a gigantic smile on her face.

There’s been no actual confirmation from the festival or either of the performers’ reps, so it’s still unclear exactly what’s going on. However, her manager Scooter Braun has definitely been adding fuel to the fire ahead of her set.

Braun tweeted, “Coachella you have no idea what’s coming!” Then he responded to her throwback video writing, “Little Ari and Nsync :)”

And as recently as this morning Braun’s been teasing tonight’s concert.

To top it all off, a fan noticed that ‘NSync member JC Chasez started following Ariana on Instagram last night.

If this surprise collaboration does go down tonight—and only time will tell at this point—it will be the first time ‘NSync has performed as a band since 2013. But we’ll start looking for our old concert T-shirts, just in case.

Ariana Grande Just Updated a Tattoo She Got With Pete Davidson


Ariana Grande kicks off her Sweetener World Tour tonight (March 18) in Albany, New York, and she marked the occasion in a very Ariana Grande way: with a new tattoo.

After finishing late-night rehearsals, Grande hit up her regular tattoo artist Mira Mariah, a.k.a. @girlknewyork, for the latest addition to her ever-evolving body art. The new leaves on her upper torso surround the “always” tattoo she got during her relationship with Pete Davidson. (He also got a matching one at the time.) Grande insists she’s not trying to cover anything up, though—the “always” tattoo is still totally visible inside one of the new leaves.

“Post run thrus, 3 am with @girlknewyork 🙂 not a cover up just evolvin ? also, our show opens tomorrow,” she wrote on Instagram. “I love u and i’m so grateful. see u soon.” Mariah said of her latest creation, “Middle of the night leaves on the queen. I love you thank you this is all! So! Exciting! Happy tour ???”

Grande has covered up at least some of her Davidson-era ink. A few months ago, she had Myron—the name of Mac Miller’s dog—placed over the tattoo she got of Davidson’s father’s firefighter badge number. She also replaced her “Reborn” tattoo with a feather.

Of course, none of these tattoo stories top when she tried to get “7 Rings” inked on her hand in Japanese kanji, but a mistake made it actually read “tiny barbecue grill.” She promptly had it fixed. “Thanks to my tutor for helping me fix and to @kanenavasard for being a legend. And to my doctor for the lidocaine shots (no joke). RIP tiny charcoal grill. Miss you man. I actually really liked u,” she posted at the time.

Grande’s Sweetener World Tour is expected to run from March to October and will cover both North America and Europe.

Ariana Grande Has Unveiled Her Very Own Cloud-Themed Starbucks Drink


Yesterday, March 4, Ariana Grande posted a mysterious tweet directed at Starbucks that featured a string of seemingly random emojis. But it turns out, she wasn’t just craving caffeine. The singer just unveiled that she’s actually teamed up with the coffee company to release her very own drink: the Cloud Macchiato.

Starbucks then revealed in a tweet that the new drink comes in caramel and cinnamon, and it’s so “light and fluffy they’re basically a cloud in a cup.” No, there is no Grande-branded sweetener involved, but the concoction does contain a vanilla-flavored foam made with egg white powder, which causes it to appear cloud-like. That frothy quality also explains why the company had been non-stop tweeting about clouds in the last 24 hours.

“We’ve long been fans of Ariana Grande’s (and we’re both fans of Clouds), so we’re excited to work with her to celebrate the debut of Cloud Macchiato,” Starbucks said in a statement, according to USA Today.

Ariana, meanwhile, tweeted a few photos in a Starbucks apron and hash-tagged them #starbucksambassador. Within just a few minutes, fans had already swarmed their local baristas and started posting pictures of the drink. One fan, whom Ariana retweeted, let the world know that they could “officially confirm that the caramel cloud macchiato does indeed slap.”

However, others had some very legitimate questions. The egg white powder doesn’t appear to be safe for vegans who still want a side of cloud in their beverage. And others took issue with Ariana partnering up with a big corporation so close to International Women’s Day, calling it a version of “branded female empowerment.” (Starbucks has shared that for International Women’s Day, they’re also planning to release two playlists, one which will include Grande.)

“You cannot write better parody of woke capitalism than the actual thing,” one Twitter user wrote, adding, “Happy International Women’s Day from Ariana Grande and Starbucks. You’re doing feminism with the coffee.” Ariana only responded to say International Women’s Day is on March 8, but didn’t address the criticism further.

She later tweeted about her upcoming tour, which is going to keep her busy the next few months—we’re guessing she’s going to be drinking a lot of her own coffee when she needs a boost.
