Ariana Grande Skips 2025 Grammy Awards After Lengthy Absence
After a four-year hiatus from the Grammy Awards, pop sensation Ariana Grande has announced that she will not be attending the 2025 ceremony. The decision comes as a surprise to fans and industry insiders alike, as Grande has been a dominant force in the music industry since her last Grammy appearance in 2019.
Grande’s absence from the Grammys has been a topic of speculation for months, with many wondering if she would make a comeback to the prestigious awards show. However, in a statement released to the press, Grande’s team confirmed that she would not be attending the ceremony.
"Ariana Grande has decided not to attend the 2025 Grammy Awards," the statement read. "She is grateful for the support of her fans and the music industry, but at this time, she has decided to focus on her music and personal life."
Grande’s decision to skip the Grammys comes after a tumultuous few years for the singer. In 2020, she suffered a personal tragedy when her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, passed away. She also faced backlash on social media for her comments about the Grammys, which many interpreted as criticism of the institution.
Despite her absence from the Grammys, Grande has continued to thrive in the music industry. Her 2020 album, "Positions," debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, and she has been touring extensively in support of the album.
Grande’s decision to skip the Grammys has sparked a heated debate among fans and music critics. Some have praised her for prioritizing her mental health and well-being, while others have criticized her for "punishing" the Grammys for perceived slights.
Regardless of the controversy, Grande’s absence from the Grammys is a significant blow to the ceremony. She is one of the most popular and successful artists in the world, and her presence at the Grammys is always a major draw for fans and industry insiders alike.
In the meantime, fans of Grande will have to wait and see what she has in store for them in the future. With her incredible talent and dedication to her craft, it’s safe to say that Grande will continue to be a major force in the music industry for years to come.
