The three pop princesses – all of whom got their start on Disney and Nickelodeon shows in the early aughts – have each scored nominations at the 2025 ceremony.

When asked about the "full-circle moment" by Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, Ariana said it's been "incredibly special."

"I love those girls," the 31-year-old star said. "To grow up with the world watching, really, then to have your work recognized in this way, it makes me so happy."

"I've always loved their work," she added. "Just to see them grow is so beautiful."

Miley has earned a second career Golden Globe nomination thanks to her track Beautiful That Way from The Last Showgirl, which is up for Best Original Song.

But Ariana will go head-to-head with fellow ex-teen-queen Selena for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.

The Positions singer earned her nod for her role as Glinda in Wicked, while the 32-year-old Rare Beauty founder is being honored for her performance as Jessi in Emilia Pérez.

After news of their honors broke, Ariana was among the first to reach out to Selena to share her congratulations!

Earlier this month, Selena revealed, "Ariana texted me, and it was the sweetest note, and it was about six in the morning."

The ladies then met up at the Academy Women's Luncheon, where the eternal sunshine artist even requested to sit next to Selena.
