Ariana Grande admits she stays young thanks to "botox and juvederm"

At the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Festival, Ariana Grande, demonstrated her signature blend of humor and sincerity as she accepted the Rising Star award for her performance as Glinda in the highly anticipated movie adaptation of "Wicked."

Grande, known for her incredible vocal talent and engaging stage presence, took to the podium with a radiant smile. Addressing the audience, she began her speech with heartfelt gratitude "You don't know how much it means to me," Grande said, and then she was sincere and playful.

"I've been performing since I was a child, so I never thought at the age of 31 I would be hearing the words 'rising star' again, so I wanted to start by thanking my two friends: Botox and Juvederm," she added.

Her witty remark elicited laughter and applause from the audience, showcasing her ability to connect with those around her through humor. Grande's acknowledgment of her cosmetic enhancements was refreshingly candid, adding a relatable touch to her glamorous persona.

Being honest about herself

Ariana Grande expressed how she has stopped using Botox regularly yet still she thanks it. "I thought I'd be hearing 'slightly withering star' or 'drooping star' by now so thank you," she said.

She confirmed she had frequently gotten Botox and lip fillers when she was younger, but she said she let that go back in 2018. "(It was) too much. I just felt like hiding," she explained.

As Ariana Grande left the stage to thunderous applause, it was evident that her charm, humor, and sincerity had made the moment unforgettable. Her acceptance speech not only celebrated her achievements but also highlighted her genuine personality, endearing her even more to fans and peers alike.
