“It’s Fun to Play With Storytelling”: Ariana Grande on Her New Brunette Look
American singer and actress Ariana Grande made headlines after changing her hair from blonde to brunette. The change caught attention because the actress had previously adopted the blonde look for her role as Glinda in the movie Wicked.
While Ariana has often been known for her signature brunette hair, which many fans associate with her early music days, others wondered why she decided to return to the darker shade.
Speaking about her new look, the actress said “With the first Wicked press tour, I wanted to celebrate Glinda in a more on-the-nose way — to extend my time with her through the blonde hair and the clothes.
Now I can show up as the actress who played her and embrace the darker tones of the movie. It’s fun to play with hair, makeup, and fashion.”

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington speaks with regret as he reflects on his life. He shared that he is disappointed in himself for still being single at his age and not having any children.
The singer said “Up till now, I’m not married and I don’t have any children. All I have to show is an American passport. I want more than American papers—I want a family and respect.”
Nigerian singer Tems reacts to comments linking her with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
During a recent interview, the singer spoke about the African music movement.
“It’s amazing, you know, coming from Nigeria. I’m just really happy where African music is going right now. Everybody’s popping off and everybody’s shining. So I’m just happy to be a part of that.”
She was then asked if she knew the goalkeeper, to which she replied “Do I know him personally? “I think I do. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t.”
The host then teased her, saying “We should shoot our shot.”
