5 Celebrity Scandals That Left People Wide-Eyed In 2024

Ariana Grande’s Evolving Persona Confuses Fans

Ariana Grande faced scrutiny in 2024 over perceived changes in her accent and appearance, leading to widespread discussion among fans.

Fans observed a shift towards a more transatlantic accent when the singer hosted a segment at the 96th Academy Awards ceremony alongside her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo this year.

Social media users also thought she turned into a completely “different person” after her 2015 interview with Vanity Fair resurfaced.

The hitmaker further surprised her fans when she noticeably switched up her vocal register in the middle of an interview with Penn Badgley for his podcast Podcrushed in June.

Online comments prompted the singer to address why she changed the pitch of her voice right in the middle of a conversation.

“Habit (speaking like this for two years) and also vocal health :)” she commented on a video that captured her quick switcheroo.

This year, fans were also left wondering why she looked noticeably thin and “sickly.”

“As someone who has been severely underweight, Ari does look very much so underweight here,” one fan said, while another remarked, “This cannot be healthy.”
