Ariana Grande recently sparked conversation about her beauty journey while accepting the Rising Star award at the Palm Springs International Film Awards. During her acceptance speech, she humorously mentioned Botox and Juvederm, joking that she never expected to hear the words “Rising Star” again at age 31. “I want to start by thanking my good friends Botox and Juvederm. I thought I’d be hearing ‘Slightly Withering Star’ or ‘Drooping Star’ by now,” she quipped, drawing laughter from the crowd.
After the event, Grande addressed the remarks in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, explaining that her comment was meant in jest. She clarified that it had been four years since she last used injectables. “I’m still clean,” she said, adding that if she ever decided to go back to them, she would be transparent with her fans. As a beauty founder of R.E.M. Beauty, she emphasized her commitment to honesty in the beauty industry and expressed a desire to remain open with her audience about any future decisions related to cosmetic procedures.
