Ariana Grande fans shocked by question superstar faced in Golden Globes red carpet interview
Audience members who are fans of singer Ariana Grande felt uncomfortable when a question was posed to her during a chat on the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards held at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday.
31-year-old actress and singer from Boca Raton, Florida, who was born there, discussed her part as Glinda in the hit movie Wicked with Access Hollywood. For this role, she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress – Musical or Comedy.
Who was the first person Grande spoke to after getting the role offer? She said it was her mom, Joan Grande, who is 67 years old.)
The TV show reporter inquired if her grandmother was still living, to which Grande casually replied, “Yes, my grandmother, she’s 99; my grandmother was the second one.
Although Grande appeared unfazed by the question, some of her followers on social media expressed disapproval, criticizing the reporter’s approach and demeanor in their questioning.
One fan inquired about the practice where interviewers conduct research prior to posing their questions, while another questioned the statement made by the interviewee.

One fan questioned, “Why did she phrase the question that way,” and another pointed out, “That’s quite a daring question to ask, I wonder why she asked it like that.
A different user noted that the situation could have been even more challenging, questioning, “What would she have done if she had declined?
One user commented that the reporter appeared to be asking a sincere question, while another user suggested it might have been an unintentional faux pas or lack of sensitivity on the part of the journalist.
The user mentioned that the question’s type didn’t suit a red carpet conversation, implying it would be more fitting to discuss later, perhaps over two glasses of wine.
One admirer commended Grande, who didn’t win in her category against Emilia Perez’s Zoe Saldana, for responding with poise and elegance.
The award-winning singer has previously incorporated her grandmother, Marjorie Grande, into her artistic endeavors; notably, Marjorie appeared in the 2024 hit track “Ordinary Things” from the album “Eternal Sunshine,” which showcases the singer’s granddaughter.
A supporter commented on the collaboration, pointing out that the journalist apparently missed Nonna’s popular hit “Ordinary Things” from her top 100.
It was proposed that a touch of polite conversation might have prevented any discomfort: ‘Wouldn’t it have been nicer to ask, “How is your grandmother?”‘

At the prestigious award ceremony, Grande graced the red carpet wearing a stunning 1966 Givenchy Haute Couture dress made of silk and yellow in color. The intricate bodice was adorned with delicate beadwork crafted by skilled hands.
Grandé completed the high-end outfit by adding white opera gloves and a Swarovski crystal choker necklace with earrings. Her golden hair was styled to fall behind.
Marjorie, who is celebrating her 100th birthday on October 12, has previously attended events like the Time gala (in 2016), the American Music Awards (2015), and the MTV Video Music Awards (2014) alongside Ariana.
In a 2014 interview on the Today Show, Marjorie shared that she recognized Ariana’s exceptional talent at an early age.
She remembered the time when she advised Ariana to audition for the role of Annie in a well-known musical production that was being staged locally in Boca Raton, Florida.
As I mentioned earlier, I had a feeling Ariana was capable of shining brightly. And indeed, she did! She tried out for the role and, to my delight, ended up as Annie.
