Ariana Grande, the renowned pop sensation behind hits like “Positions,” has recently made headlines by adding a distinctive new tattoo to her collection. This latest addition holds special significance for the singer, as it features a character from the beloved production “Wicked,” a decision that comes in the wake of her professional relationship with manager Scooter Braun.
In an illuminating interview with Allure, Grande revealed the intricacies of her tattoo collection, singling out her most recent ink as a particularly noteworthy piece. Situated on her right hand, the tattoo showcases a character from “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” More specifically, it portrays Glinda, a character originally penned by L. Frank Baum. Grande explained that this particular tattoo idea had been brewing in her mind for quite some time, and she was simply waiting for the perfect concept to adorn her hand.
The 30-year-old artist expressed her enthusiasm, noting that she had been meticulously biding her time for a significant design that would occupy her hand. The character from “Wicked” was the embodiment of that ideal.
In addition to her tattoo update, Ariana Grande made a striking visual transformation by transitioning her signature brown locks into a creamy blonde shade, a look she fondly described as one of her personal favorites.
Parallel to these changes, Grande’s highly anticipated album “Yours Truly” is scheduled to make its debut this coming Friday. The album is set to feature live renditions of some of her well-loved tracks, including “Honeymoon Avenue” and “Daydreamin.”
Interestingly, Grande is not the only musician who has parted ways with manager Scooter Braun. Demi Lovato has also severed her professional ties with him.
Fans and music enthusiasts have speculated that these splits may be influenced by the ongoing controversy surrounding Taylor Swift and her music rights. Braun’s refusal to sell the masters of Taylor Swift’s music during her association with Big Machine Records ignited a public feud between the two, leading to wider industry discussions on artists’ rights and ownership.
