These days, Ariana Grande is all about natural beauty. When she was taking her followers through her skincare routine, the singer revealed that she has stopped getting work done. “Had a ton of lip filler over the years and Botox. I stopped in 2018 because I just felt so–too much. I just felt like hiding, you know…My relationship with beauty has changed over the years.”

Victoria Monet is a frequent collaborator of Grande’s. She has written on each of Grande’s albums, and the two recorded the song “Got Her Own” together. In an interview with MTV, Monet talked about her love of fitness. “It’s really become quite a lifestyle. I think that it’s largely in part because I have to be in front of the camera a lot and try on a bunch of clothes that are usually runway-size. They’re very small so that it can play with your confidence emotionally. But just making sure that I’m doing my best and transferring my gym work to a healthy eating lifestyle kind of certifies me for a longer and healthier life in general.”

Even just talking about my parents and what they’ve been through on top of COVID and trying to get the project out I’ve just – I’ve had a lot up against me, but I always manage somehow to pull through as best as I can, and honestly that’s by the grace of God and him just giving me the strength to endure and persevere.”

"I think the thing that is inspiring, [this] sounds so, like, ego vibes, but honestly, it's like an internal comfortability and confidence that I have found recently. In the last year, I have found that I'm way more excited about everything because I feel like I can handle it way better than I used to.”

Lea Michele worked with Grande on the first season of Scream Queens. Michele shared some of her fitness secrets with People. "It's so important for me to stress that being healthy is not about being a gym rat. It's not about being 90 lbs. This is really how I live every single day."

Elizabeth Gillies has known Grande since they were children. They starred in 13: The Musical on Broadway and the TV show Victorious. Gillies has also appeared in several of Grande’s music videos. She talked about working on the Dynasty reboot to Town & Country Magazine. “It’s really everything I’ve ever wanted to do. I figured I wouldn’t get a chance to break down or cry until maybe halfway through the season, and it happened in episode two. So she’s crying, she’s laughing, she’s being vulnerable, she has a wild love triangle going on—I have so much to do as an actor that I’m never bored. And I get to do it wearing designer clothes.”

Bowen Yang is working with Grande on Wicked, and the two have been seen hanging out. In an interview with GQ, he talked about being a cast member on Saturday Night Live, and how he deals with reactions to jokes. “I think the sooner you take responsibility for what reaction you want to get out of an audience, the better,” he said. “There's this joke that Anna Drezen wrote for Melissa Villaseñor, where Melissa plays every teen-girl murder suspect on Law & Order. And there's this joke in there that is like, We stabbed her as a joke, but she took it the wrong way and started bleeding! If your intention is to stab someone, do it. You can't absolve yourself from the consequence of someone bleeding, you know?”
