The appearance change of Ariana Grande, who gained fame at 16 after starring in a Nickelodeon series, is catching the attention of internet users.

The 31-year-old singer began her career in 2009 as the beloved character Cat Valentine in the series Victorious. She later returned to her role in the spin-off series Sam & Cat, alongside Jennette McCurdy.
After years of coloring her hair red, she started wearing her brown hair in a ponytail, a look that became her trademark when she began her music career, which elevated her to the status of “pop star.”
However, in October 2022, she shocked fans by appearing blonde for her role as Glinda in the movie Wicked. Now, after the movie’s release, fans are concerned about her “skinny” appearance as she promotes the musical.
“I know she has always been skinny, but seeing her now is worrying,” one user commented. “She’s [just] skin and bones,” said another. “I really hope she’s okay,” a third commented. “Has Ariana always been this skinny?” asked another.
She addressed her new body in a recent TikTok video. “I just wanted to address your concerns about my body and talk a little bit about what it means to be a person with a body that is so seen and gets so much attention,” she began.
After fans began comparing her current body to her physique from a few years ago, she explained that while she is slimmer now, she was “less healthy” before. “I think we should be kinder and less comfortable commenting on people’s bodies, no matter what happens,” she added.
“There are many different types of beauty. There are many different ways to look healthy and beautiful, and personally, the body you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body,” she concluded.
