July 23, 20204 yr Author Aww bless you guys! You're too sweet. I'm really pleased that you're enjoying the thread. :heart: Ariana Grande and... Lady Gaga Well, Ariana has been a Little Monster for years! She tweeted a lot about her in the past, emulated looks and even covered some of her songs. u8SoTkp52mQ So, it was an absolute dream come true for her when she COLLABORATED with Gaga this year for the song 'Rain On Me'! AoAm4om0wTs It has been a huge success - topping charts around the world. The release of 'Rain On Me' has provided us with so much Gaga and Ariana content already - from the music video to weather report sketches. I don't know about you guys but I'm living for this friendship. Would you like Gaga to return the favour on Ariana's next album?
July 24, 20204 yr Author Ariana Grande and... Little Mix So, firstly, these girls have some live performance connections! Little Mix were chosen as a support act for the North American leg of Ariana's 'Dangerous Woman' tour alongside Victoria Monét! Of course, the Little Mix girls also halted promo for 'Power' to perform the uplifting 'Wings' at Ariana's One Love Manchester benefit concert :heart: w8MYcDgwbGw Also, who could forget the girls joining forces on social media after Piers Morgan criticised Little Mix's 'Strip' video? @1065340638856704000 @1065300013335556096 :cheeseblock:
July 25, 20204 yr Author Ariana Grande and... Madonna In the YouTube description of Ari's aforementioned 'Born This Way' and 'Express Yourself' mash-up, she wrote: "This is an homage to one of the greatest artists of all time and my idol, Madonna, whom I've been listening to my whole life" - this was back in 2011. In a matter of years she would be meeting and working with her idol. Firstly, in 2016, Ariana and Madge posted selfies on their respective instagram pages! View this post on Instagram you know that we're greedy for / living for love ♡ ♡ ♡ @madonna View this post on Instagram Its Friday Bitches!! 💘💜💘💜💘💜💘💜 Fast forward to 2018 and Madonna would feature in Ariana's 'God is a woman' music video! Not physically but in voice over form, reciting Samuel L. Jackson's 'Ezekiel 25:17' speech from Pulp Fiction: "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my sisters. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." kHLHSlExFis
July 25, 20204 yr I love how much thought has gone into this thread. I had forgotten there was any kind of link to Madonna, but of course the 'God Is A Woman' video is an obvious one.
July 25, 20204 yr Ariana & Little Mix sounds like the perfect tour show for me :lol: While it was great seeing Victoria Monet & Bia on the UK tour date, I would have loved to have been at one of the American shows. I used to love Katy Perry growing up (even if I haven't liked any of her newer music) so I'm happy I got the chance to see her at One Love Manchester. Her song choices were great too, it was really powerful to watch and a really nice tribute.
July 26, 20204 yr Author Thanks for the comments guys :heart: it's really interesting to hear your thoughts! Ariana Grande and... One Direction and Solo Not much is publicly know about Ariana's relationships with Liam, Louis and Zayn but I did remember connections with both Harry and Niall! So, first, Harry Styles. An obvious connection here is that he penned the Ariana album track 'Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart' from her second album 'My Everything'! The connection was enough for 1D fans to cherry pick this ballad during album release week. Here's what it sounds like in both Ariana and Harry form: HsmpBo6M1EI 5d7SfRcCpZI Niall Horan was of course another artist who contributed towards Ariana's 'One Love Manchester' benefit concert! He sang 'Slow Hands' and 'This Town'. nuS0lTxbL8Q

July 27, 20204 yr Author ^ IKR :cheeseblock: Ariana Grande and... P!nk There isn't a particularly obvious connection here for these two but I've managed to find a couple of bits! Firstly, for the 2019 Grammys, we know that Ariana won Best Pop Vocal Performance for 'Sweetener'! Amongst the rest of the nominees was... P!nk herself. She took the loss in good humour and posted this home-made Grammy Award to instagram instead: View this post on Instagram On the subject of award shows, Ariana showed some love on Twitter back in 2012 for P!nk's 'Try' performance at that year's AMAs ceremony! @270353671232040962 QlTNzbqwKoc Finally, P!nk shared some words on Twitter regarding the Manchester Arena tragedy. @866810680627691520
July 28, 20204 yr Author Ariana Grande and... Rihanna Time for some stream queens! As Andrew already mentioned, at the Billboard Music Awards 2014 Rihanna was caught laughing during Ariana's performance of 'Problem': Ari later addressed this, telling us that things weren't as shady as they seemed - saying that Rihanna was laughing just because she was surprised at her performance rather than thinking it was funny. She added: "Afterwards, [Rihanna] was so kind to me, she was like, 'Lil' mama, keep doing what you’re doing because it's working.'" Ariana has always been a big Rihanna fan, 'Unapologetic' stans she's right with you: @270383206493216768 Also, back in the day before having many of her own songs, 'Only Girl (In The World)' was part of Ari's repertoire of covers! She even performed it live: hIh-c4bjE1I
July 29, 20204 yr Author Ariana Grande and... Rita Ora So, the main thing I could find for Ariana and Rita is that they bumped into each other at the VMAS 2016 and had a photo together! Aside from this and both having a hit featuring Iggy Azalea, Rita also once praised Ariana on Twitter for her feminist rant on there: @607655166750433280 This was Ariana's original tweet: @607552378057990146
July 30, 20204 yr Author Ariana Grande and... Robbie Williams and Take That Robbie of course provided us with this iconic MAAAAAAAANCHESTER performance :cheeseblock: 2VdVcYROzZc Plus his signature song 'Angels' which was a lovely choice. gZkol4rcbgo
July 31, 20204 yr Author Legends only x Ariana Grande and... RuPaul's Drag Race I've never seen an episode of Drag Race before (shocking, I know) so I definitely needed to do my research on this one! Turns out that it was very easy to make a connection :o this is because Ariana was actually a guest judge for the season 7 episode 'Ru Hollywood Stories'! The lip-sync choice for this episode was of course an anthem adopted by the LGBTQ+ community - Ari's 'Break Free'! T7LXPKCSn0Y This is the first time I've ever seen that performance! It was good fun, including Ariana's reactions. Which Ariana song do you think should be next in line for Drag Race lip sync treatment?
August 2, 20204 yr Author I was busy all day yesterday so continuing this today! Ariana Grande and... Shawn Mendes There's a surprisingly small amount of connections between these two international superstars! But I did find a couple of bits. Firstly, Shawn gave Ariana a hug in the audience at the VMAS 2018 while she was attending with then-boyfriend Pete Davidson! @1031738592454946816 Also, Shawn was filmed rocking out to '7 rings' on instagram, taste! TshK0vimhME Would you be here for an Ariana and Shawn collaboration in the future?
August 2, 20204 yr SO MANY Ariana songs have been used for lipsyncs on Drag Race! Break Free Greedy Problem Into You One Last Time Bang Bang
August 2, 20204 yr Author Oh thanks Cameron I had no idea about that lengthy history! 'Greedy' was used?! I stan that so much :wub:
August 2, 20204 yr Yeah, with 6 songs, I do believe Ariana and Madonna are the most lip synced artists in the shows history!
August 2, 20204 yr That pic of Shawn and Ariana :heart: In the video of his In My Blood performance the camera shows her nodding along at various points too :lol:
