She’s fearless. She’s frank. She’s an artist at the top of her game. And she’s just getting started!

These days, Ariana Grande is hitting all the high notes. Her fourth studio album, Sweetener, picked up two Grammy nominations, including Best Pop Vocal Album. She’s the only artist ever to have the lead single from each of her first five albums debut in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, and the first female artist in three years to have a single debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100.

Her nothing-is-off-limits songwriting also resonates with fans, who feel they know the artist’s innermost thoughts and feelings. She’s penned massive hits about everything from self-love (Thank U, Next) and female empowerment (God Is a Woman) to some very NSFW topics.

And then there’s her voice. Undeniably, she has one of the most incredible voices in music, and many have tapped her as the heir apparent to powerhouse vocalists such as Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Whitney Houston. Make no mistake about it—Ari has the chops of those singers; she has a four-octave range that rivals any of the aforementioned legends. Presently, she seems poised to take over the mantle held by modern-day divas Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Beyoncé…if she hasn’t already.

It was hard to go anywhere in 2018 without hearing her name. She was the object of intense tabloid scrutiny the instant her relationship with
