Ariana Grande Misses Grammys 2025 as Her Flourishing Career Reaches New Heights

In a surprising twist this year, pop sensation Ariana Grande once again opted to skip the Grammys 2025, leaving her millions of fans to wonder about her reasons for missing one of music’s biggest nights. Despite earning three coveted Grammy nominations for her seventh studio album—including nods for Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Dance Pop Recording—Grande was notably absent from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2, reported by US Weekly. This marks the fifth consecutive year that the superstar has missed the ceremony, with her last appearance dating back to 2020.

While Grande did not attend, her influence was still felt at the event. Her Wicked costar, Cynthia Erivo, made an appearance and took part in a poignant tribute on stage honoring the legendary Quincy Jones. The tribute, which resonated with many in attendance, was one of several moments that highlighted the evening’s celebration of musical excellence.

Grande’s decision to forego the Grammys comes at a time when her career appears to be reaching new heights. Earlier this year, she released her album Eternal Sunshine in March, marking her first major musical project in over three years. The album has been met with widespread acclaim and reflects a period of reinvention and renewed creative energy for the artist.

Moreover, her recent involvement in the musical Wicked has only added to her rising star power. When the film premiered in November, Grande, who is currently in a relationship with actor Ethan Slater, shared a heartfelt message with her fans on Instagram.

“I’m feeling incredibly emotional today (who’s surprised?),” she wrote on her Instagram Story on November 22. “and i wanted to just thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Grande continued, expressing her deep gratitude, “I want to tell you how grateful i am for the many ways in which you’ve held me over the years, you have held my hand and helped mend my heart time and time again over the past ten years and i would never be here without you. i mean that in every way you can interpret it.”

Acknowledging the sacrifices her fans have made during her period away from the public eye, she added, “I know i disappeared into this project for a long, long time (i believe you called it ‘the drought’!) and i know that was hard for you all. I want to thank you for your fierce protection, your passion, and your ability to see me and love me as i evolve alongside all of you.”

Grande’s candid social media posts have not only provided a glimpse into the pressures of stardom but have also underscored her commitment to her art and her fans. While her absence from the Grammys may have disappointed some, it appears that Ariana Grande is channeling her energy into creating and evolving on her own terms—continuing to defy expectations and redefine her legacy in the ever-changing landscape of pop music.
