Ariana Grande Talks Anxiety, ‘Eternal Sunshine’ and More in Apple Music Interview

Buy Me A Coffee

Get ready to dive into the whirlwind world of Ariana Grande, where music, mom, and Jim Carrey all play a part in her wild ride through fame and fortune.

So, there she was, the 30-year-old pop sensation herself, gabbing with Zane Lowe from Apple Music about her latest masterpiece, “eternal sunshine,” which is about to drop like a bomb of joy on our eardrums.

Letโ€™s start with her mom, the OG supporter of her Broadway dreams. From flying her in for auditions to never pushing her too hard, Arianaโ€™s mom has been the wind beneath her wings, or rather, the Broadway stage lights in this case. Talk about a full-circle moment!

And then thereโ€™s the freedom Ariana finds in art. She can pull inspiration from anywhere โ€“ her truth, a concept, a friend’s relationship drama, or even a voice note from her Nonna. Who knew a Nonna voice note could be the secret sauce to a killer album ending?

Ariana spills the tea on her time away from music. Turns out, it was like hitting the reset button on her music mojo. Now sheโ€™s back, loving every minute of album-making, video-shooting, and photo-posing. Sheโ€™s so present, she could be the poster child for mindfulness.

And letโ€™s not forget her recording sessions with Max Martin. Vulnerability was the name of the game. Picture Ariana nervously FaceTiming Max, asking, “Is this fine? Should I add more cowbell?” It’s like a musical sitcom waiting to happen.

Now, onto her anxieties. Sure, she tries not to catastrophize, but thereโ€™s always that hovering dread of what could go wrong. But hey, sheโ€™s learning to befriend her anxiety monsters, shining a light on them like a bunch of little Pixar characters. You go, girl!

Oh, and did we mention her past struggles with success? Yeah, she used to hide from it like it was a scary movie monster. But now? Sheโ€™s embracing it like a long-lost friend. Cue the emotional music and the waterworks.

And speaking of emotional, Ariana had a revelation: she wasnโ€™t listening to herself. Like, at all. But now sheโ€™s tuning in, realizing itโ€™s not cool to ignore those gut feelings. Itโ€™s like Oprahโ€™s โ€œaha momentโ€ on steroids.

Now, letโ€™s talk inspiration. Arianaโ€™s album, “eternal sunshine,” was inspired by the movie of the same name. And guess what? Sheโ€™s been a Jim Carrey superfan since the dawn of time. Meeting him was like a dream come true โ€“ and he didnโ€™t disappoint. Take notes, this is how you meet your heroes without the disappointment.

And finally, the big question: will she tour again? Drumroll, please! She misses it like a kid misses recess, but sheโ€™s gotta redefine her relationship with touring first. Trauma and lack of boundaries, beware! Arianaโ€™s coming for you with a vengeance, armed with a newfound love for the stage.

So there you have it. Ariana Grande: pop superstar, Broadway baby, Jim Carrey fangirl, and anxiety conqueror extraordinaire. Her journey is as wild as a rollercoaster ride, and weโ€™re all just along for the hilarious, heartwarming, and occasionally tear-jerking trip.
