Grande's second studio album, My Everything (2014), continued the pop-R&B sound of its predecessor and incorporated EDM elements. It topped the Billboard 200 and featured four US top-ten singles: "Problem", "Break Free", "Bang Bang", and "Love Me Harder" featuring The Weeknd, the most of any artist that year. Grande's pop-R&B styles extended on her third studio album, Dangerous Woman (2016), which was her first of three consecutive number-one albums in the UK, and spawned top ten hits such as the Grammy nominated title track and "Side to Side".
On her next two albums, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019), Grande experimented with trap while maintaining her characteristic pop-R&B tones; being projects with her most creative control yet and showing a more personal and vulnerable side, both debuted at number one in several countries and were acclaimed by music critics. The former won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album and spawned the international top three hit "No Tears Left to Cry", while the latter broke several streaming records. Grande became the first solo artist to hold the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously when "7 Rings", "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" and "Thank U, Next" did so in 2019. She is also the first artist to have the lead singles from each of their first six studio albums debut within the top ten in the US.
Grande released her sixth studio album, Positions (2020) with its lead single, "Positions" debuting at number one in the US and the UK simultaneously. The song became her third number one hit in the US following "Stuck With U" in collaboration with Justin Bieber and "Rain On Me", also in collaboration with Lady Gaga. A deluxe version of Positions was released in February 2021, with four new songs and a remix of "34+35" featuring Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion. The remix helped the song peak at number two, the highest-charting song credited to three or more female soloist since 2001 when "Lady Marmalade" performed by Christina Aguilera, Mýa, P!nk, and Lil Kim peaked at number one. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming her fifth album to do so. In April 2021, a remix of The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears" was released featuring Grande. The song reached number one in both the US Hot 100 and the Canadian Hot 100. It spent a total of 69 weeks in the US charts, becoming one of the ten longest-running songs in that chart since its publication.
In November 2021, it was announced that Grande would star in the two-part film adaptation of the musical Wicked. The movie is set to release on November 24th, 2024.

La, la
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons
Now you're working at the movie selling popular corn
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
Uh, huh
Uh, huh, I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
My problem, I never was a model
I never was a scholar
But you were always popular
You were singing, all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
'Cause my song is popular
Popular
I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular
I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
Always was on the lookout for someone to hate
Picking on me like a dinner plate
You hid during classes and in between them
Dunk me in the toilets now it's you that cleans em'
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Ooh, the joke's on you
Got everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping, asking
How come you look so cool?
'Cause that's the only thing that I learnt at school, boy
Uh, huh
I said that's the only thing I learnt at school
My problem, I never was a model
I never was a scholar
And you were always popular
You were singing, all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
'Cause my song is popular
Popular
I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular
I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
All you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
All you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were (that's all you ever need to know)

The song "Popular Song" by Ariana Grande is an upbeat and catchy tune that talks about teenage popularity and the pressure to fit in. The song tells a story of a former popular girl who used to be the envy of her classmates but now works at a movie theatre selling popcorn while the person who used to be picked on is now successful with a popular song. Ariana uses her lyrics to tell her story and offer advice on being true to oneself.
The chorus of the song stresses that popularity is not about one's social status or car, but rather about being true to oneself. Ariana encourages those who have yet to achieve popularity to "catch up" but reminds them to remain true to themselves along the way. The song can be seen as a reminder not to get swept up in the temporary allure of attention and popularity but to be confident in who you are and stay true to that.
One interesting fact about the song is that it is a cover of the song "Popular" from the Broadway musical Wicked. The song was written by Stephen Schwartz and sung by the character Galinda. Another interesting fact is that Mika, the original artist of the song, is featured in Grande's version. The music video for the song features both Ariana and Mika as superheroes fighting off a villain who is trying to steal their popularity. The song was released in 2013 as a single and was part of Ariana's debut studio album, "Yours Truly." It was also featured in the movie "Glee: The 3D Concert Movie" and was remixed by Cole Plante.

You were the popular one, the popular chick
You used to be the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish
Now I'm somewhat popular, and I've accepted it
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons
You used to cheerlead with your pretty pompons
Now you're working at the movie selling popular corn
Now you work at the movie theater selling popular refreshments
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
I could have gone astray, but I never did
'Cause I'm putting down my story in a popular song
I'm sharing my story through a popular song
My problem, I never was a model
I was never a perfect specimen
I never was a scholar, but you were always popular
I was never academically inclined, but you were always well-liked
You were singing, all the songs I don't know
You sang songs that I wasn't familiar with
Now you're in the front row, 'cause my song is popular
Now you're in the front row, because my song is well-liked
I know about popular
I have knowledge of popularity
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
Popularity is not necessarily determined by one's status or possessions
You're only ever who you were
You remain the same person you always were
All you ever need to know
The only thing you need to know
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
So hurry up, because you have a lot of catching up to do
Always was on the lookout for someone to hate
You were always searching for someone to hate
Picking on me like a dinner plate
You bullied me persistently
You hid during classes and in between them
You hid during and between classes
Dunk me in the toilets now it's you that cleans em'
You used to bully me by dunking me in the toilets, now you clean them
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
You attempted to make me feel bad through your actions
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
It's not amusing when you're the victim of the same behavior you once exhibited
Ooh, the joke's on you
The situation has turned against you
Got everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping, asking
Everyone is laughing and applauding while questioning
How come you look so cool?
Why do you look so composed?
'Cause that's the only thing that I learned at school, boy
Because that's the only thing I learned at school, boy
That's all you ever need to know
That's all you need to be aware of

From child star to world wide pop-star. From catholic to satanism. From just a singer to a sell out. From amongst the living to amongst the dead.
There is 1 interesting thing which is always missing; nones never CHRISTIAN.
They are religious, who move from 1 religion to another, but nobody comes out from lies(darkness) and into the truth(light).
