Ariana Grande Ditches the VMAs for Wicked and Surprises Fans Instead!

Ariana Grande skips the VMAs again to focus on her Wicked promotion but gifts fans an acoustic version of her song!

Ariana Grande, the pop sensation that keeps us all entertained, has once again chosen to skip the MTV Video Music Awards. After being absent from the show for three years, the fans were excited to see what she would bring to the red carpet this year, especially considering she was one of the most-nominated artists of the night. However, instead of dazzling everyone with her stylish outfit and stunning performance, Ariana decided to focus her energies on promoting her upcoming role in the highly-anticipated film adaptation of the Broadway hit, Wicked.

The absence left many fans wondering about Ariana's choice. Could it be her commitment to producing a stellar performance in Wicked or simply a case of VMA fatigue? While many artists were busy dancing under the glow of the VMAs, Ariana was likely rehearsing her high-flying scenes or preparing for an emotive performance that would knock the socks off her viewers. In a world that constantly demands new material and dazzling appearances, it’s refreshing to see an artist dedicated to their craft rather than just the glitz and glamour of award shows.

But that’s not all! To the delight of her loyal supporters, Ariana managed to drop an acoustic version of her heartfelt track "We Can’t Be Friends" as a surprise gift to celebrate the six-month anniversary of her latest album, Eternal Sunshine. The stripped-down version reveals a more vulnerable side of the pop star and showcases her incredible vocal range, leaving fans feeling both blessed and excited. It’s a classic case of Ariana proving that while she may skip out on red carpets, she’s always got her fans in mind.

Interestingly, Ariana's dedication to her role in Wicked is no small feat! Did you know that she's set to portray Glinda, one of the lead characters, alongside some of the best talents in the industry? Plus, her recent release of an acoustic guitar version of "We Can’t Be Friends" is a testament to her artistic growth! This gives her fans new angles on her already beloved tracks, proving once again that Ariana has a heart for her supporters. In case you were wondering, the singer is also known for her philanthropic efforts, giving back to her community and various charities, making it clear she's not just a pop icon, but a true role model too!
