As a representative of the strength of the new generation, few people would question Ariana's singing skills. Her range spans four octaves and one more note. Few singers can compare with her. What's more shocking is that, according to Ariana herself, she has almost never taken a vocal music class, nor has she systematically participated in any vocal training. Therefore, her ultra-wide range and bright, warm tone are entirely the product of talent. This also allows her to perfectly control the high notes that others can only sing in the studio. In terms of song creation, with continuous training, she has become more and more involved in song creation. Starting from the third and fourth albums, most of her are the number one in songwriting, and the sixth album is the number one. Is personally responsible for the production of some of the songs.

She also returned to the place where the terrorist attack took place and held a charity concert to raise funds for the victims, raising a total of Two million dollars.

When Billie Eilish came to the stage to accept the award and said Ariana was more worthy of the award, Ariana in the audience said to her: "Take your moment, girl." There is a lot of energy in the small body. It is this kind of her that warms every fan.
除了动人的歌曲外,令粉丝们喜爱的还有她本人所带来的温暖。 在爱莉安娜事业如日中天的时候,遭受了职业生涯里最大的一次打击 ,在英国曼彻斯特的一场演唱会,发生了一次恐怖袭击事件,造成了22人遇难,上百人受伤的惨案。事发后,爱莉安娜一度崩溃痛哭感到非常自责,后来为了表达自己的歉意更是宣布将会负责全数受难者的丧葬费用。她还重新回到恐袭事发地举行慈善演唱会替受难者募款,共筹得款项达200万美元。她还说:“我们不会因为害怕退缩,不会让恐惧支配我们,不会让仇恨战胜!”在去年的格莱美中,本以为会获奖的她,让老天开了个玩笑,全场下来,最终以五次提名告终。在碧梨上台领奖认为她更值得获奖时,台下的爱莉安娜对她说:“Take your moment ,girl . ”小小的个子里却蕴藏着大大的能量。正是这样的她,温暖了每一个歌迷。
Transformed from obscurity to a pop star, Ariana's efforts have not only achieved herself, but also turned into a beacon to guide the lost people to move on.
