Ariana Grande is saying thank you, next to 30.
The pop star celebrated her 31st birthday on June 26 and shared a black-and-white shot of herself smiling on Instagram.
Ariana was crouched down with her eyes closed as she ate a container of cucumbers.
The Don’t Look Up actress wore a dress that hung off her tiny frame, exposing a corset underneath.
Ariana’s blonde hair was pulled back on one side, while the other half framed her face.

The Grammy winner seemed to celebrate her big day on set, as she tagged the Wicked movie in her Thursday post.
‘Thank you and love you,’ Ariana captioned the shot. ‘hello 31 :)’
Ariana’s bestie, Doug Middlebrook, posted the same shot Ariana shared – but in color – to his own Instagram page.

‘It’s my husband’s birthday and I love her!’ he wrote beneath the picture.
A day prior, the Wicked star shared a throwback video of herself singing as a child.
The sweet clip showed Ariana performing for the person filming as she sang at the top of her lungs and danced around the room.
Before the video cut out, the person behind the camera asked, ‘Why don’t you sing the Céline Dion?’
Friends celebrated the 7 Rings singer in the comments section, with former Victorious actress Daniella Monet writing, ‘Happy birthday cutie pie!!’, while her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo said, ‘Happy birthday my sweet sister.’

Reese Witherspoon also jumped in the comments with: ‘Oh yessss! Please never lose this energy!”
Ariana’s mom Joan Grande chimed in as well, writing beneath the still shot, ‘I love you my sweet sweet angel,’ while older brother Frankie shared his thoughts on the singing: ‘A STAR WAS BORN!!’
Meanwhile, Ariana is entering 31 with boyfriend Ethan Slater by her side.
So far, things are going strong between the couple.
‘[Ariana] is her authentic self with Ethan,’ a source told US Weekly. ‘It’s not superficial, but more intellectual and emotional.’
The insider added that the Hairspray Live! star is ‘finally fulfilled in a relationship’ now that she’s in a relationship with the 32-year-old.
Ariana and Ethan were first linked in June 2023, while the Sam & Cat alum was still married to her ex-husband Dalton Gomez.

Ariana and the real estate agent quietly separated while Ethan went through his own divorce proceedings with his estranged wife, Lilly Jay.
The exes share one son.
As for what drew Ariana and Ethan together in the first place?
‘They’re a little dorky and [both] theater geeks at heart. She loves that about him. It’s mutual,’ a second source told US Weekly in November. ‘Their relationship is blossoming. It’s effortless with zero drama.’
Although Ariana has kept mum about their romance, she did take a moment to speak about the public commentary.
‘I feel like we don’t need to go into any specifics, but, of course, there’s like an insatiable frustration, inexplicable, hellish feeling with watching people, misunderstand the people you love and you and anything,’ she shared in February while on The Zach Sang Show.
But she hasn’t let the outside noise stop her from creating new music.
‘It was scary to leave it up to these selective memory people to decipher,’ Ariana admitted. ‘I think it’s the absolute worst idea. I’m so nervous.’

And after the release of Eternal Sunshine in March, the Florida native sent a message to the trolls.
‘I just wanted to say anyone that is sending hateful messages to the people in my life based on your interpretation of the album is not supporting me and is absolutely doing the polar opposite of what I would ever encourage (and is also entirely misinterpreting the intention behind the music) …’ Ariana wrote via Instagram Story. ‘I ask that you please do not.’
Urging her followers to be kind she concluded: ‘It is not how to support me. It is the opposite. Although this album captures a lot of painful moments, it also is woven together with a through line of deep, sincere love. If you cannot hear that, please listen more closely. Thank you.’
