Why Did Ariana Grande Skip the 2025 Grammys?

Sorry Arianators, but it appears your queen, Ariana Grande, is not in the house tonight at the 2025 Grammys. While she could pull a Beyoncé and sneak into the ceremony, it seems unlikely. Despite being up for multiple gold gramophones at the 67th annual ceremony, Grande did not walk the red carpet at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena, and fans are theorizing the reason is because she was snubbed from the biggest categories.

The "Into You" hitmaker received a nod for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "The Boy Is Mine" (Featuring Brandy and Monica), Best Pop Vocal Album for Eternal Sunshine, and Best Dance Pop Recording for "Yes, And?"

The R.e.m. Beauty founder did not receive a nomination for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, or Song of the Year, the Recording Academy's most coveted titles.

When the Academy dropped the nomination back in November, fans were quick to express their disdain for Grande's snubs online.

While Grande was noticeably missing, her Wicked costar and partner-in-crime Cynthia Erivo made quite the arrival to the awards show—in a space-inspired look. Erivo, who walked the carpet clad in a navy-and-silver cutout gown, is not in the running for any trophies, but, rather, will be one of the evening's performers. She will honor Quincy Jones by singing one of the late legend's songs.

Although Grande is missing today, she has had quite an awards show run, stepping out for her new musical-fantasy, Wicked. Most recently, she graced the carpet at the Golden Globes last month. In a rare diversion from Glinda-pink, she channelled Audrey Hepburn in a vintage Givenchy butter-yellow gown. She accented the beaded frock with white opera gloves, pale-yellow pumps, and a chic ponytail.
