An official Ariana Grande Snapchat live story launches today, giving fans a front row seat through the eyes of Ariana on her launch day. It’s been yet another landmark year for the powerhouse singer. Supporting last year’s platinum-certified #1 album, My Everything, she wrapped up her very first world tour, selling out arenas across the globe. She released her very own fragrance Ari, further extending her influence across the sphere of pop culture. Continuing that expansion, she has linked up with MAC Viva Glam in a partnership just announced this week. About ARIANA GRANDE: Ariana Grande’s 2013 album, Yours Truly, yielded the game-changing pop smash The Way, featuring Mac Miller, establishing a bold new pop voice’s arrival. My Everything garnered a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album and spawned the five times-platinum hit, Problem, featuring Iggy Azalea, which debuted at #1 in 85 countries. She followed this with singles Break Free featuring Zedd, and Bang Bang with Nicki Minaj and Jessie J—the latter would also be Grammy-nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. In 2013, she was named Best New Artist at the American Music Awards.
