Icon, vocalist, actress: Happy 33rd birthday to Ariana Grande.
Over a historic decade in music, Grande has solidified her status as a towering force in contemporary pop, defining eras with seminal albums like ‘Sweetener’ and ‘thank u, next.’ She is currently headlining her massive, sold-out ‘Eternal Sunshine’ world tour while simultaneously preparing the arrival of her highly anticipated next project, ‘petal.’
Beyond the charts, a legacy of advocacy. In honor of Ariana Grande’s birthday, we look back at her extensive, multi-million dollar humanitarian and philanthropic efforts:
• Provided critical aid to over 150,000 children and families in Gaza via her Brighter Days Ahead Foundation
• Raised $800,000 for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF)
• Pledged $1.5 million to trans youth advocacy organizations
• Generated $3 million in funding for LGBTQ+ youth centers
• Donated $250,000 to Planned Parenthood
• Delivers annual holiday gifts to patients at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital
• Provided direct financial aid to fans facing economic hardship during the pandemic
• Partnered with BetterHelp to fund $5 million worth of free mental health therapy
• Assisted Madonna in raising $7.5 million for orphaned children in Malawi
• Supported and mobilized public resources for Black Lives Matter bail funds
• Co-released charity initiative with Justin Bieber, raising over $3.5 million for the First Responders Children's Foundation
Three years ago today, Ariana Grande’s unreleased track “Fantasize” leaked online, inadvertently sparking one of the most anomalous viral phenomena of the streaming era.
Despite never receiving an official release or a single minute of traditional promotion, the track achieved:
• Over 1 million Shazams worldwide
• More than 600,000 algorithmic creations on TikTok
• An unprecedented, organic entry onto the Spotify charts
Driven entirely by public demand, it remains arguably the most culturally impactful unreleased pop song in history.
