Yahoo Lifestyle Ariana Grande Clarified Her Injectables Use After Joking About Botox In A Speech
Ariana Grande is getting real about her recent history with cosmetic procedures.
Brief recap: The pop superstar received the Rising Star award at the Palm Springs International Film Awards on Friday — and during her acceptance speech (via the Hollywood Reporter), she cracked wise about using injectables.
The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery defines injectables as "used to relax facial wrinkles and folds (such as 'smile lines'), contour the body (such as reducing the appearance of a 'double chin') and improve the signs of facial fat loss by creating structure, framework and volume to the face and lips."
“I’ve been performing since I was a child, so I never thought at the age of 31 I’d be hearing the words ‘Rising Star’ again, so I want to start by thanking my good friends Botox and Juvederm," she said. "I thought I’d be hearing ‘Slightly Withering Star’ or ‘Drooping Star’ by now, so thank you.”
So, after the event, Ariana gave an interview to Entertainment Tonight to clarify that the joke was, yes, just a joke — and she also revealed how long it's been since she's used injectables.

"I'm still clean," she said, specifying that it's been four years since she used injectables.
“When I start going again, I’ll let you know. I mean it,” she said. “I really want to be transparent as a beauty founder. As the founder of R.E.M. Beauty, I think it’s important to have transparency.”
There you have it! Maybe she'll crack another joke tonight if she wins at the Golden Globes — which, in case you didn't know, airs at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+ with Showtime.
