ariana grande nationality biography

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande is a sitcom-star-turned-pop music sensation, known for such hit songs as "Problem," "Bang Bang," "Dangerous Woman" and "Thank U, Next."

Who Is Ariana Grande?

Ariana Grande began performing onstage when she was a child. Her involvement in a Broadway play at age 15, followed by some small TV parts, helped her land the role of Cat on TV's Victorious . She followed that with the spinoff Sam & Cat and then dove headfirst into a chart-topping musical career, releasing five albums: Yours Truly (2013), My Everything (2014) , Dangerous Woman (2016), Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019).

Early Years

Grande was born on June 26, 1993, in Boca Raton, Florida, to Edward Butera, a graphic designer, and Joan Grande, a businesswoman. She took to singing and acting at a young age and made her way onto the local theater scene before she was a teenager. Her first big break came in 2008 when the 15-year-old landed the role of Charlotte in the Broadway production of 13 , a play focusing on life growing up in New York City. The early role led to accolades, and Grande won a National Youth Theatre Association Award.

Two years later, she appeared in the musical Cuba Libre and had a small role on a TV show called The Battery’s Down .

Television Roles

Grande landed her breakout role in the Nickelodeon series Victorious . Victorious was set at a performing arts high school, and Grande was cast as a goofy aspiring singer-actress named Cat Valentine. While busy with the show, Grande nevertheless pursued a musical career, making her first appearance on a record with the Victorious soundtrack. And in 2011, Grande released the single "Put Your Hearts Up," a pop song aimed at the hearts of her young Victorious audience. The show's devoted fan base voted Victorious Favorite TV Show at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.

When Victorious went off the air in 2012, Grande's character Cat Valentine survived. She went to star in the Nick spin-off Sam & Cat , co-starring iCarly’s Jennette McCurdy. Sam & Cat wasn’t on long when rumors began to swirl that Grande wasn’t particularly enjoying the experience, and the show came to an abrupt end after 35 episodes (2013-14).

Albums and Songs

'yours truly' & 'my everything', "bang bang," "one last time".

During the summer of 2014, Grande teamed up with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj on the single “Bang Bang,” a track that debuted at No. 6 and peaked at No. 3 in the United States. The album spawned another hit single “One Last Time,” which reached number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Grande had three hit singles from My Everything on the Billboard chart at the same time.

'Dangerous Woman'

In 2015 Grande released Christmas & Chill , a holiday album, and the single "Focus," which debuted at number seven on the Billboard's Hot 100. In February 2016, she released her third album Dangerous Woman , and the title track debuted at number 10 on the Hot 100 that March. She made music history with the track's success, becoming the first artist to have the lead singles from her first three albums debut in the Top 10. Dangerous Woman , which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, also features collaborations with Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne , Macy Gray and Future.

'Sweetener'

Grande returned to the charts in April 2018 with "No Tears Left to Cry," the catchy, upbeat response to the previous year's Manchester concert bombing. She followed in June with the dance track "The Light Is Coming," featuring Minaj; dropped the sultry "God Is a Woman" in mid-July; and delivered "Breathin" in September. The four releases were included in her highly anticipated album Sweetener, which debuted in mid-August, as was a track about her whirlwind romance with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson . The overall success of Sweetener led to her first Grammy win, for Best Pop Vocal Album, in February 2019.

'Thank U, Next'

Grande quickly returned to the studio to produce her fifth album, Thank U, Next . The title track hit airwaves in early November 2018, and another chart-topper, "7 Rings," arrived in January 2019. The album debuted in February to strong praise, alongside a new single, "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored."

In April 2019 the 25-year-old songstress demonstrated her drawing power by becoming the youngest performer ever to headline Coachella, as well as just the fourth woman to earn the honor. Her collaborations from around this time include "Rule the World," with 2 Chainz, "Monopoly," with Victoria Monét, and "Boyfriend," with Social House. Later that year Grande joined Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey for the single "Don't Call Me Angel," from the Charlie's Angels soundtrack.

Grande continued with the collaborations into 2020, her joint effort with Justin Bieber on "Stuck With U" hitting the Billboard top spot in May before she joined Lady Gaga for "Rain on Me" later in the month.

'Positions'

Her third album in just two years, Grande released positions in October 2020 to generally positive reviews.

Bombing at Dangerous Woman Tour

In 2017 Grande performed the title track for the soundtrack of the live action movie Beauty and the Beast . In February of that year, she began her Dangerous Woman tour across North America and then Europe. On May 22, 2017, tragedy struck after Grande finished a concert in Manchester, England and a suicide bomber detonated a bomb at the exit of the concert hall, killing 22 people and wounding 116, including many young adults and children. "All acts of terrorism are cowardly... but this attack stands out for its appalling sickening cowardice, deliberately targeting innocent, defenseless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives," British Prime Minister Theresa May said after the attack.

The pop star responded to the horrific act on Twitter.

Less than a day after the attack, Grande suspended her Dangerous Woman tour. She returned to Manchester 13 days after the attack to perform a benefit concert on June 4 for the bombing victims, enlisting friends and fellow superstars to perform including Bieber, Cyrus, Katy Perry , Liam Gallagher, Chris Martin , and Pharrell Williams . Before the concert, Grande visited fans who had been injured in the attack, and she also offered 14,000 free tickets to people who had been at the May 22 concert.

Grande resumed her tour on June 7th in Paris, posting in Instagram : "First show back tonight. Thinking of our angels every step of the way. I love you with all my heart. Grateful for and incredibly proud of my band, dancers and entire crew. I love you. I love you."

The following year, the singer revealed that she was still feeling the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder from the event. "It's hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss," she told British Vogue . "I don't think I'll ever know how to talk about it and not cry."

Among her many accolades, Grande has won six iHeartRadio Music Awards, five MTV Video Music Awards and three American Music Awards. She has also earned 12 Grammy nominations and one win.

The pop diva returned to television with a guest appearance on Scream Queens in 2015, and she hit the big screen in a cameo appearance in Zoolander 2 in 2016. She also starred as Penny Pingleton, Tracy Turnblad's best friend, in NBC's Hairspray Live! in December 2016.

Grande has also become a popular host of Saturday Night Live , bringing her musical and acting talents to the show, including uncanny impersonations of fellow pop divas Britney Spears , Shakira , Rihanna , Celine Dion and Whitney Houston in a skit spoofing the streaming service Tidal.

In February 2020 Grande made a guest appearance on season 2 of Jim Carrey 's Showtime series Kidding .

Fragrances, Charities and Social Media

In addition to her musical and acting projects, Grande has launched two fragrances "Ari by Ariana Grande" and "Frankie by Ariana Grande" with her brother Frankie Grande.

When she is not performing, the pop superstar supports various charitable causes including Kids Who Care, a group she co-founded that raises money for charities in the South Florida region. She also has cultivated a massive social media presence on Facebook , Twitter , Instagram and Snapchat, and landed on Time magazine's list of "The 100 Most Influential People" in 2016.

Personal Life

Grande went public with her romance with her "The Way" collaborator Mac Miller in August 2016. The pair split in May 2018 after almost two years of dating. "I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us!" Grande posted on Instagram.

On June 11, 2018, People magazine confirmed that the singer was engaged to SNL 's Davidson, her boyfriend of several weeks. Subsequent attention focused on their affectionate social media posts directed at one another, though the couple found themselves in an awkward position when footage surfaced of Davidson making a joke about the Manchester concert bombing months earlier.

Grande was devastated by Miller's death from an accidental drug overdose in September 2018, a development that seemingly impacted her relationship with Davidson. By October 2018, the singer and comedian had split.

Grande went on to date Social House's Mikey Foster, before sparking a relationship with real estate agent Dalton Gomez. The pair got engaged in December 2020 and wed in May 2021.

The world just can’t get enough of Ariana Grande. Whether it’s because of her catchy tunes or her high-profile relationships , the former Nickelodeon starlet turned mega pop sensation never seems to be out of the headlines for too long.

But even as her songs top the charts, her career is not without controversy. Grande has been accused of cultural appropriation and “blackfishing”, because of her use of traditionally “black” language. There’s also the issue of her using enough fake tan that people started getting confused about what ethnicity Ariana Grande really is.

So, what is Ariana Grande’s nationality? Well, she’s an American of Italian descent, but that’s not the whole story.

Curious for more? Here are a few things you should know about the singer, including a quick profile of her career, and more info on her life story and ethnic background.

Who Is Ariana Grande And Why Is She Famous?

Ariana Grande is an award-winning singer and actress. She is most known for her booming music career following several commercially-successful albums and tours – and of course, her signature high ponytail.

Grande first became known to young audiences as Cat Valentine on the popular Nickelodeon show Victorious and spin-off Sam & Cat . After the show wrapped up, she focused on her music career, with her first studio album debuting at the top of the charts.

Since then, it’s been pretty much success after success. Between winning Grammys for her music and being invited to the White House to perform for then-President Barack Obama, the teen idol quickly gained superstar status.

Grande’s most popular singles include “Break Free”, “Bang Bang” (alongside Nicki Minaj and Jessie J), “Love Me Harder”, “One Last Time”, “Focus”, “Dangerous Woman”, “Into You”, “Side to Side”, “God Is a Woman”, “Thank U, Next”, and “7 Rings”.

Her albums and songs have garnered Grande a lot of critical success as well. She’s broken several industry records, such as being the first solo artist to occupy the first, second, and third top spots on the Billboard Hot 100. She has won more than 80 awards and has been nominated for over 260.

But Grande did not abandon her acting career entirely. You might recognise her as Chanel #2 on Scream Queens , Penny Pingleton in Hairspray Live! . 

Ariana Grande is famous for her philanthropy as well. In 2017, following the Manchester Arena bombing (which happened the month before at another Grande concert), the singer set up the One Love Manchester concert in response. The proceeds were donated to the victims and/or their families via the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund. Grande has also publicly supported and donated to the Black Lives Matter movement, the Charlottesville victims, and Planned Parenthood.

Besides her illustrious career, Grande is also known for her relationships, especially with ex-fiancee Pete Davidson and ex-boyfriend Mac Miller. Davidson (a comedian of Saturday Night Live fame) and Grande famously dated, got engaged, and called off the wedding – all in the span of 4 or 5 months. Miller was Grande’s partner of two years. The rapper sadly died of a drug overdose in 2018, only a few months after their split.

When Was Ariana Grande Born?

Ariana Grande’s date of birth is June 26, 1993, making her a Cancer and 26 years of age.

What Is Ariana Grande’s Height And Weight?

Grande might have a huge presence and major BDE (which was, ironically enough, used to describe her ex-fiance Pete Davidson), but she clocks in at a relatively short 160cm. She weighs only 47kg.

What Country Is Ariana Grande From? Where Was Ariana Grande Born?

Ariana Grande, born Ariana Grande-Butera, hails from Boca Raton in Palm Beach, Florida in the United States. 

What Is Ariana Grande’s Nationality?

As she was born in the States, the singer holds American citizenship.

What Is Ariana Grande’s Ethnicity?

One of the biggest questions people have about the singer is, strangely enough, about her ethnicity. Is she black? Latina? Or something else?

In a 2011 tweet , Grande explained her “ambiguous” ethnicity as Italian-American, more specifically that she is half-Sicilian and half-Abruzzese, which are both areas in Southern Italy.

Who Are Ariana Grande’s Parents?

Grande’s mom is Joan Grande. Joan was born in Brooklyn and is the CEO of communications and safety equipment manufacturer of Hose-McCann. Ariana Grande’s father is Edward Butera, a graphic designer and firm owner who works in Boca Raton. The couple split when the singer was only 9 or 10.

Rounding out the family is Ariana’s older half-brother Frankie. His interest in musical theatre was actually what sparked his younger sister’s interest in acting. Frankie has his own music, acting, and producing career, including roles on Broadway and Off-Broadway, proving that talent must really run in the blood. Frankie is also a famous YouTube personality and former Big Brother housemate.

Where Does Ariana Grande Live Now?

Grande has two home bases: one in California and one in New York.

Her Beverly Hills mansion sits on a whopping 8,000+ square feet of property and overlooks the Hollywood Hills. Instead of hitting the Grammys this year, she stayed at home and took some gorgeous photos in her Zac Posen dress.

The pop star also purchased a $USD 16-million ($AUD 22.76-million) apartment in Manhattan with then-fiance Davidson. The couple may have split in October of last year, but Grande’s still keeping her expensive Chelsea pad.

At just 26 years old, Ariana Grande has seen more than a lifetime’s worth of success and grief. She’s currently on the Sweetener world tour, coming off being named the Billboard 2018 Woman of the Year. The world should get ready because Miss Grande isn’t slowing down any time soon.

Who Are Ariana Grande's Parents? She Comes From an Italian Family

Feb. 9 2024, Updated 4:47 p.m. ET

One of the biggest pop stars in the world, Ariana Grande , has been open about her close relationship with her family. She specifically often posts and speaks about her grandmother, "nonna," and is public about her closeness with her mother and brother.

However, Ariana's relationship with her father has been a bit rocky, despite Ariana's family-centered point of view. A deeper look into her family's relationship helps tell the musician's life story.

Who are Ariana Grande's parents?

Ariana's parents are Ed Butera and Joan Grande. As you can see, Ariana actually took her mother's name. Ed and Joan split when Ariana was little which may be part of the reason the singer opted to carry on her mother's legacy, instead.

Joan supported Ariana from a young age, noticing her talent right away. She prioritized Ariana's growth as a musician. As for Joan's own personal life, she is the president and CEO of Hose-McCann Communications.

The company has a focus on the marine world, including clients like U.S. and Canadian coast guards, the U.S. Navy and other "leading maritime nations." Despite Ariana's success, Joan hasn't let go of the working world, keeping herself busy with multiple business avenues.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ariana Grande (@arianagrande)

Joan and Ariana's brother, Frankie, run the production company Diamond Dog Entertainment together. "Diamond Dog Entertainment is a production company founded by Joan Grande and a team of partners who have spent their careers in the industry," explains the company website . "DDE is focused on fostering talent in a collaborative environment and investing in diverse projects that seek to change the landscape of the entertainment world."
