Ariana Grande later clarified in an interview snippet posted by Entertainment Tonight on TikTok that she is actually “four years clean” from Botox and fillers.

Ariana Grande’s transparent stance as a beauty founder

As a prominent figure in both music and beauty, Ariana Grande has consistently advocated for authenticity.

In a 2023 Vogue Beauty Secrets video, she shared her decision to stop using Botox and fillers, revealing that she had once felt like she was "hiding" behind the treatments.

Instead, she has chosen to celebrate her fine lines and embrace aging with grace.

“I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper,” she said, adding, “I laugh more and more, and I think aging can be such a beautiful thing.”

Ariana Grande’s openness also extends to addressing the immense beauty pressures in Hollywood.

Speaking in a December 5 interview with French content creator Crazy Sally, the singer recounted her experiences growing up in the public eye.

“I’ve been doing this in front of the public since I was 16 or 17,” the 'Winter Things' singer said.

“I’ve heard it all. I’ve been a specimen in a Petri dish for so long. But now, I don’t leave space for that noise,” she added.

The star’s reflections come at a time when body image scrutiny has intensified, particularly during her promotional appearances for her film 'Wicked'.

Despite facing criticism, Grande emphasized the importance of focusing on personal growth and having genuine connections.

“I’m really lucky to have the support system I have. I’ve learned to trust that I’m beautiful," she shared, adding, "But I do know what the pressure of that noise feels like."

"I have work to do, a life to live, and friends to love. There’s no room for negativity,” Grande noted, according to People.
