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.
Ariana Grande’s highly anticipated seventh studio album “eternal sunshine" was released on March 8th, 2024. The title references to one of her favourite films, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” which stars Jim Carrey. The lead single “yes, and?" was released on January 12, 2024.

Grande has received various accolades, including two Grammy Awards, one Brit Award, two Billboard Music Awards, and three American Music Awards. All five of Grande's full-length albums have been certified platinum by the RIAA. As one of the leading streaming pioneers in the world, she has amassed over 35 billion streams on platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music and is the most listened female on the latter two.

Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Diamonds good for my appetite
Guess it fuckin' just clicked one night
All them demons helped me see shit differently
So don't be sad for me
How you been spending your time? (How?)
How you be using your tongue? (How?)
Can't even get yourself mine
You know you sound so dumb (so dumb, so dumb)
You know you sound so dumb (so dumb)
So maybe you should shut up
Hmm, and maybe you should shut up
Said if only you would shut up (ooh)
Yeah, that's right, you should shut up
I vibrate high, and my circle lit
We ain't really with drugs and shit
Love the game, so I never miss
Keep opinions muted for the hell of it
'Cause I like my shit (mm-mm, yep)
How you been spending your time? (How?)
How you be using your tongue? (How?)
You be so worried 'bout mine? (Hi)
Can't even get yourself mine
You know you sound so dumb (so dumb, so dumb)
You know you sound so dumb (so dumb)
So maybe you should shut up
Hmm, and maybe you should shut up
Said if only you would shut up
Yeah, that's right, you should shut up
In the song "Shut Up", Ariana Grande shows her strength and confidence in who she is and what she stands for. She describes her presence as sweet and her aura as bright, implying that she radiates positivity and attracts good energy. She also mentions that diamonds are good for her appetite, which could be interpreted in different ways, but may be a reference to her success and wealth providing her with the ability to indulge in luxurious things.
Ariana then talks about how she had an epiphany and saw things differently thanks to the demons in her life. This can be seen as a reference to the hardships she has faced in the past, including the Manchester bombing at her concert and the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller. Despite the difficulties, she has managed to overcome them and move forward in a positive way. She tells others not to feel sad for her, as she has learned and grown from her experiences.
The chorus repeats the phrase "maybe you should shut up" multiple times, which can be interpreted in different ways. It can be seen as a response to critics or people who try to bring her down, telling them to stop talking and let her be. It can also be seen as a reminder to herself to ignore negativity and focus on her own goals and happiness.
The second verse reinforces Ariana's positive energy by saying that she and her circle don't need drugs to have a good time. She loves the game she's in, which can be interpreted as the music industry, and never misses a beat. She keeps her opinions to herself, not because she is afraid to speak up, but because she chooses not to engage in negativity. Finally, she declares that she likes her own "shit", implying that she is proud of her work and who she is as a person.
Overall, "Shut Up" is a song that speaks to the importance of self-confidence, positivity, and not letting negativity bring you down. It is a reminder to focus on your own journey and not let the opinions of others hold you back.
