She honestly just has a phenomenal marketing team and publicist. Every time she has a scandal, her marketing team turns it into a rebrand and an opportunity for her to advance her career. For e.g, she was being heavily accused of race-fishing and leaning into racial aesthetics for artistic purposes so her marketing team had her return to her roots of musical theatre, where she can leave her previous musical identity behind and completely rebrand for the purpose of the film. She then gets involved in a home wrecking scandal, so her marketing team have her release music that is more ‘lyrically vulnerable’ and ‘real’ than her previous music, and then have her sit down for interviews where she talks in a sweet, almost little girl voice. This is all so people have a hard time associating her with home wrecking, or any scandal for that matter, because she appears so ‘sweet’ and ‘wholesome’. It’s all just really smart, well thought-out marketing. Edit: I want to clarity that I mean no ill-intent towards her! I don’t know her personally, and for all we know she’s nothing at all like how she’s depicted in the media. I’m just looking at it from a PR perspective and how you can turn bad press into good press with the right tactics. I’m not saying that any of those things she’s being accused of are true!

I don't know if she's ever gonna change. She's 30+ yo now, and while I'm a firm believer of change at any age, her handling of the homewrecking situation has been subpar. She is basically mocking, almost taunting us with a "what you gonna do?". No hint of remorse or guilt. That doesn't scream "girl on the path to maturity" imo. My analysis is that despite her advancing in age, she is still a little girl that is both insecure AND spoiled. She managed to get off scot free from her previous dramas thanks to 1. her talent (she is insanely talented, I'll give her that) and 2. her youth, like Zoe said. Unfortunately, the later is starting to wear off so she didn't manage to get off as unscathed this time. Personally, it was the last straw for me. I used to really like her, but cheating and homewrecking is something I abhor. I cannot condone and support someone who does that, eve if they appear to be one of my favourite artists. I haven't listened to any of her new songs (unless I was in a store and it was playing on the speakers). It's time for her to grow up and do some realy work on herself.

She's openly admitted that she doesn't care what ppl have to say about her cheating. And then she released her Yes And? song. And ppl still listened to it and sang along. It's literally a song about confidently cheating and not caring. Give it 4 more years and she's gonna bounce back. There aren't enough girls girls in America to keep her canceled anyway.

I do think that the trust she build with the public of a person, who is nice and loving to her fans, was broken through this controversy. After Manchester, one could really feel her genuinity because of how much she opened up. With the death of Mac Miller, she showed her tears and mourned publicly, whilst continuing to release music. When the homewrecker news broke out, suddenly she‘s ice cold and keeps quiet. I‘m not saying she owns anybody an explanation, which she points out clearly but you can‘t claim to be misunderstood and try to appeal to the trust you‘ve built, while pointing middlefingers at the public (most likely to the ones who want to emphasize with her). So yeah I guess she should pick a side. Edit 2weeks later: thanks for the likes. I‘m actually a little embarrassed by my spelling. Sorry if it is/was hard to read! I’ve tried my best to correct it 👍🏼

Have you ever been misunderstood and attacked for it? Hated for it? Hated for trying to explain and express your feelings and be vulnerable hoping people would understand? Cause I have and it’s fucking exhausting it makes you feel like you’re fucking crazy. My mother is literally the person putting hate and negativity on me and has been my whole life and I’ve tried to open up(heavy on the tried) but she never listened because she never saw it as that. So now I hardly say or do anything (not like that makes much of a difference cause she still seeks me out and has a problem) and just try to make all the deep problems seems like minor surface level problems cause I can’t get through it if it continues to cut so deep. It fucking hurts and it’s fucking exhausting, so I get this perspective and it makes so much sense to me. So many ppl that have met me and worked with me have said I’m so nice and sweet and I’m so shocked cause I always thought I was the worst person ever and according to my mom I am a horrible person. You get tired of trying to explain your feelings, trying to be vulnerable and open just to be ridiculed and told bad things about yourself so you just stop trying.

But if she loses those looks from too much surgery or something, ppl will be quick to turn. JLo is one of the few celebs that despite her beauty, you can see she lost a lot of success from ppl realizing what an unlikeable person she is. But that's only after years and years and she can still retire and live comfortably.

White ppl have a tendency to clump East Asia together. East Asian entertainment has been on a major rise in popularity with kpop, anime and dramas/movies. It doesn't surprise me someone who likes to ethnicity hop would try to appear more east Asian adjacent, just like she did with black culture while rap and r&b were on a major high in pop culture.

While I do not support people cheating and being unfaithful, I can't help and notice how somehow it's mostly her fault because HE cheated on his wife.

This is really interesting. I have never loved Ariana.

I never loved her music, she just was always kinda there. I’ve been indifferent about her and her music has been meh to me for years. The woman will stay a celebrity, people will forget, and new children will become fans of these once cancelled celebs. Whatever. It’s just like Katy Perry, she’s in the circles and has talent.

How is woman always a homewrecker? He was married, not her, he cheated, not her, no one forced him to be with her, he chose to. But somehow, the woman is always guilty when a man cheats on his wife/girlfriend. I guess he is just a little confused boy who couldn't resist or say "no" or chose not to cheat? He, as all men, is just innocent victim of a woman who seduced him, poor boy. No! just enough! The one who is in relationship or marriage should not cheat and should chose not to cheat. He is homewrecker, why would any woman want to be with that man? Sure, she is not totally innocent, she did get into it knowing he is married, but still... couldn't he just say "no"?

honestly, i get where she's coming from when she asks "why do you care who i date" because we don't know her personally, we're not IN her relationships. as bad as it looks from the outside, we won't ever know what really happened. my social circle isn't that wide and even *I* know people who have separated from their long-term partners soon after having a baby. even people without a psychology degree will tell you that that period can be super challenging and not every couple makes it. even without the influence of alluring, attractive, international mega pop stars. and even if it's just as bad as it looks, i think getting thousands of hateful messages daily can't be good for your mental health and likely isn't going to make Ariana a better person, nor undo any of the hurt that's come out of this situation, so idk why people are doing it. also, have you even noticed how much of this latest scandal has focused on Ariana and how little of it has been about the man in this situation? like he was this passive little.. idk, inflatable man with no free will or a brain, and Ariana had nothing better to do than ensnare him. this whole narrative of men being clueless and innocent, ready to fall prey to any dangerous woman that looks their way is getting so old ... anyway, i think we should really think twice before talking shit about people we don't know. also, i think her brand will recover from this too :D it feels like one massive invasion of the privacy of the 3 people involved and i feel like it'll blow ever when people start feeling ashamed of discussing it to this degree.

exactly!! as we mature, we often see that people aren’t always who they portrayed themselves to be and we thought they were.. whether that's celebs or partners, family, friends, co-workers, or teachers etc. it’s honestly frustrating to see ariana being painted as some kind of seductress who took advantage of a "nerdy" man without acknowledging that he also played a bigger role in the situation. i don't agree with going after people who are taken but lets be fr now that means they werent loving and faithful to their partners, and with her cheating allegations it is true that birds of a feather flock together, so maybe those people just deserve each other (not that i condone it). plus many celebrities have faced controversies FAR more severe, yet they still get charting hits, maintain their fanbase or grow in popularity (including criminals, racist and homophobic people etc). i know ariana is very popular and does have a more parasocial fanbase but it’s unfair that she’s often subjected to more harassment than others who have done worse. people tend to be way harsher on female celebrity scandals and dating lives too. while criticism and calling out bad behaviour are very valid and im all here for that, harassment def crosses a line. personally, i really love her music and her voice, and while she’s not without fault and a lot of criticism is called for, i don’t think she deserves to be demonized or lose all her fans.

Tbh I don't think her controversies are that bad compared to a lot of other pop artists. Shes not gonna be sent to jail over being a player/"homewrecker" or going a bit too hard on the self tanning. Most of her scandals are just bad enough to get people talking about her but rarely bad enough to actually make her lose a big chunk of her fanbase over (most of the time.) and I think thats why she's historically been left unscathed by her scandals.

This is great! but I think you missed some important points about her branding (I would say it's not just on her personality that her products rely on): 1) she has a very recognisable image and this image has constantly evolved/experimented with every album (every "era" of Ariana has its own look), and 2) a reason why her makeup brand is so successful is that a lot of her lines are in reference to her songs and the music videos that come along with them. It's honestly pretty smart cross-promotion, along with developing good and vegan products

Ariana NEVER used what you call her as the “young girl” as Cat Valentine just to escape from her past controversies before (or now), she even stated is that what she want is to separate herself from that character from Nickelodeon because Cat is just a character and is very different to herself as an artist and as a person. Yes she apologized in public for licking the donut from a store, but did you consider the fact that she was high at the time from anesthesia because her wisdom tooth got removed that very same day. We all know people in “America” when it comes to anesthesia are just so high and can say and do things they're not intended to do? Have you searched on that? Why didn't you include that part, just to make her a bad person as what people wants to? Or maybe your reason will *again* point out that she's using the young girl she was from a nickelodeon kids show??? She was forced to apologize in public without explaining what really had happened because people just put up conclusions that she is indeed a bad person for hating on America, and while apologizing have y'all think that she used the same character from the show for her to escape that scandal? Because i know that she didn't and she just apologizes for her wrong actions. She once did a live stream on Instagram and a fan requested her to do the Cat voice but she respectfully declined as they are totally in a different world and why would she even used it as an escape when it's the people who decides whether they would accept her apologies... nonetheless, her homewrecker scandal will still going to be an “ALLEGED” because there's not a total proof that she and ethan went to date each other before or after their divorce. While Page 6 and the writer from the said article who exposed Ari for being an alleged homewrecker is known for hating Ariana for a very long time now, there are even screenshots from Twitter/x showing her tweets throwing negative towards Ariana before. There's no proof that Lily (Ethan's ex wife) truly did sn interview with them lol. They just put up that article and people just believed it cuz they were accussing her for being a homewrecker even before the article was dropped. But ofc the writer wants a whole attention from thirsty people who wants tea from Ariana's personal relationship. So they gave what people wants and made Page 6 as a legitimate source they didn't even provide other articles to strengthen their allegations towards her as long as people clicked on their clouty article.

im not here for assigning age and personality to clothing. i’d love to see confident older women wearing bold platform heels and short skirts if that’s what they enjoy. the most stylish and least dramatic older women i know have the most adventurous fashion sense, defying the “chic” and “modest” look often associated with maturity. so i rlly don’t view her change in style and shoes as a significant shift in her path to "real maturity" as you say :/ ariana has been in the industry for a LONG time, so it’s actually not surprising that her aesthetic changed, especially with new projects, life changes and a new album era. people seem to forget that she has changed her look with basically every album. her dangerous woman and thank u, next eras are remembered most aesthetic wise because her popularity skyrocketed during those times, and the promotions were extensive. she was rlly in her pop girl era then. those looks also weren’t as dramatically different from each other compared to her other eras so it makes it seem like she had a stuck look (also clothing trends werent as quick to pass back then and she often wore trendy styles during those eras). while those aesthetics have become the iconic image of her, this new look isn’t actually rlly that much of a sudden or drastic change. she first transitioned from vibrant/girly/baddie styles into chic/vintage styles with interesting eye makeup during the positions era and has continued in that direction with a "modest/chic" vibe and a new hair colour/style for this era (glinda also a massive reason for that) and shes doing more audrey hepburn inspired looks. tbh who knows if she’ll stick with this look or change it again next era, but I don’t see it as being as calculated as some people make it out to be
