Ariana Grande—Born for Stardom
亞莉安娜．格蘭德：天生的大明星
Born in 1993 in Boca Raton, Florida, Ariana Grande always seemed to be headed for stardom. As a child, she joined a local theater group and performed in musicals such as Beauty and the Beast and the Wizard of Oz. Even then, her talent stood out. At the age of 15, Grande scored her first big theater role when she played Charlotte in the Broadway play 13. 
Grande cut her first single, “Put your Hearts Up,” in 2011, and then followed it in 2013 with her debut album, Yours Truly. The soul influences on Yours Truly and Grande’s powerful voice made her an overnight star.
After releasing a successful second album, My Everything, in 2014, Grande released Dangerous Woman in 2016, which made her even more famous. In 2019, she won her first Grammy for her album Sweetener, and her song “thank u, next” became a global number one hit. The album of the same name also produced songs that occupied the top three positions on the Billboard Hot 100 song chart, which tied a record set by the Beatles.
亞莉安娜．格蘭德一九九三年出生於佛羅里達州博卡拉頓市，她似乎一直都朝著明星之路邁進。小時候，她加入當地劇團，並在《美女與野獸》和《綠野仙蹤》等音樂劇中演出。即使在當時，她的才華就受到矚目。十五歲那年，格蘭德獲得了第一個重要的劇場角色，在百老匯音樂劇《13》中飾演夏洛特。
格蘭德在二○一一年錄製了她的首支單曲〈捧起你的心〉，然後接著在二○一三年發行了首張專輯《真情歌》。靈魂樂對《真情歌》的影響以及格蘭德宏亮的嗓音讓她一夕成名。
格蘭德在二○一四年發行第二張成功的專輯《我的全部》後，她在二○一六年發行了《危險尤物》，這張專輯讓她更為出名。二○一九年，她以專輯《甜到翻》獲得首座葛萊美獎，而〈謝謝，下一位〉這首歌成為全球排名第一的熱門歌曲。同名專輯裡的歌曲也占據美國《告示牌》百大熱門單曲排行榜上的前三名，平了披頭四所創下的紀錄。

In May 2019, Grande postponed two concerts because of an allergic reaction to tomatoes, of all things. The Italian American Grande joked about it on Instagram, writing “There is nothing more unfair than an Italian woman developing an allergic reaction to tomatoes.”
When not performing or writing music, Grande spends her free time with her many dogs, which are all rescues. She’s also such a Harry Potter fan that she named three of her dogs after characters from the books: Snape, Lily, and Sirius Black.
Despite how busy she is, Grande always finds time to support good causes. She has taught music and dance to kids in Africa and started an organization that’s trying to end cyberbullying. This year, she worked with Project 100, an effort to help families hit hard by COVID-19. In May, she and Justin Bieber released “Stuck with U,” whose profits helped children of health-care workers.
And what about Grande’s future? Word has it that besides working on a new album, she may return to her childhood love of acting—this time in Disney’s next Hercules film.
二○一九年五月，萬萬沒想到格蘭德因為對番茄過敏而延後了兩場音樂會。身為義大利裔美國人的格蘭德在Instagram上開玩笑地寫著：「沒有什麼比義大利女人會對番茄產生過敏反應更不公平了。」
沒有演出或不寫歌時，格蘭德會把空閒時間花在她的許多狗狗上，牠們全都是獲救的流浪狗。她同時也是哈利．波特的忠實書迷，因此用書中的角色為她的三隻狗命名：石內卜、莉莉和天狼星．布萊克。
儘管工作繁忙，但格蘭德總是會找時間來支持公益活動。她曾教導非洲的孩子音樂和舞蹈，並成立一個致力於終結網路霸凌的組織。今年，她與Project 100合作，致力於幫助因新冠肺炎受到重創的家庭。今年五月，她和小賈斯汀發行了〈Stuck with U〉，其收益幫助了醫護人員的孩子。
那格蘭德的未來會是如何呢？傳言除了製作一張新專輯外，她可能會重拾童年時代熱愛的演戲——這次是在迪士尼的下一部大力士電影中演出。
