Ariana Grande’s hectic Wicked schedule taking a toll on her health?

Ariana Grande is experiencing one of the biggest moments of her career, with 'Wicked' scoring big at the ongoing awards season and at the box office. However, the singer's appearances at various red carpet events over the past weeks have raised concern over her health.

Grande’s appearance at the recent BAFTA Film Awards sparked concern among fans and insiders alike. Dressed in an elegant plunging Louis Vuitton gown, the singer-actress looked noticeably thinner, raising speculation about the toll that constant public scrutiny and demanding work schedules have had on her health.


According to Page Six, industry sources have pointed to the exhausting nature of film promotions, and the pressure to maintain Hollywood’s rigid beauty standards as major stressors. A former colleague noted, “Being in the spotlight 24/7 is draining. There’s no room for error you always have to be careful with your words, your actions, even your expressions. It’s a constant mental workout.”

Grande has addressed concerns about her weight before, particularly in 2023 when fans speculated about changes in her appearance. She reminded them that looking “healthy” can be misleading, revealing that a time when many assumed she was at her best was actually one of the most difficult periods of her life.

Grande has never shied away from discussing her struggles with anxiety, depression and PTSD. The devastating 2017 Manchester Arena bombing at her concert left a lasting emotional impact, leading her to seek therapy and pour her emotions into her music. Her albums 'Sweetener' and 'Thank U,' 'Next' were born out of this pain, serving as both creative outlets and healing mechanisms.

Grande’s personal life has remained a hot topic, with her relationships often making headlines. She married real estate agent Dalton Gomez in 2021, but their marriage ended in 2023. Shortly after, her connection with 'Wicked' co-star Ethan Slater became public—sparking controversy, as Slater was still married to Lilly Jay at the time. The fallout was messy, with Jay publicly accusing Grande of interfering in her marriage.
