Ariana Grande Addresses Criticism About Her Speaking Voice Changing: ‘I’ve Always Done This’

Ariana Grande addressed criticism about how her speaking voice changes in different settings. See what she said.

In the replies, however, the “Thank U, Next” singer herself jumped in to put an end to other commenters accusing her of faking her manner of speech, noting that her higher tone comes through out of “habit” and “speaking like this for two years” while playing Glinda on the set of Wicked. In March, similar critiques emerged about her higher-pitched tone when she presented at the 2024 Oscars alongside her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo, even though the two-time Grammy winner has been open about transforming herself in preparation for the role of Glinda. But while some people were focused on her speaking patterns, many fans were more excited about Grande revealing on Podcrushed that she has more new music on the way — possibly in the form of a deluxe edition of her Billboard 200-topping album Eternal Sunshine.
