The Italian-American pop diva Ariana Grande makes her way to Toyota Center this weekend, Sunday, May 19, 2019 with her Sweetener World Tour.
Recently the pop music star signed with Givenchy. Alure.com says Grande is following in the footsteps of Grace Kelly and 
Audrey Hepburn in her new role as the face of iconic French design house.
The singer/songwriter and outspoken issue activist is known for her TMZ coverage, especially with Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson. She and the SNL writer/player had a short engagement.
The petite Grande hails from Florida and as a child performed with the Fort Lauderdale Children's Theater, playing her first role as the title character in Annie. She also performed in the musicals The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast. At the age of 8, she performed at a karaoke lounge on a cruise ship and with various orchestras such as South Florida's Philharmonic, Florida Sunshine Pops and Symphonic Orchestras, and she made her first national television appearance singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" for the Florida Panthers. She attended Pine Crest School and North Broward Preparatory School.
Grande's celebrity (fame) as many know started when she was showcasedin the Nickelodeon television show Victorious along with 13 co-star Elizabeth Gillies. In this sitcom, set in a performing arts high school, Grande played the "adorably dimwitted" Cat Valentine. She had to dye her hair red every other week for the role because the executive producer, Dan Schneider, did not want all the cast members to be brunettes, and the red hair was also a feature that the network felt would fit the personality of Cat. The s
how premiered in 2010 to the second largest audience for a live-action series in the children's cable network history with 5.7 million viewers. The role helped propel Grande to teen idol status, but she was more interested in a music career, stating that acting is "fun, but music has always been first and foremost with me." Her character was compared to "Brittany Murphy's performance as the hapless Tai in Clueless" and described as being "very impressionable and easily swayed" but "generally sweet". The second season premiered to 6.2 million viewers, becoming the highest rated episode of Victorious.
