stayc main image

Ariana Grande, the 30-year-old pop sensation, enchanted audiences at this year's Met Gala with a performance that perfectly captured the event's theme, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." Transported into the Metropolitan Museum of Art event space by a troupe of fairy-like dancers, Grande emerged from her slumber to deliver a breathtaking performance. Clad in a teal chiffon gown, she serenaded the audience with a rendition of "Once Upon a Dream" from Disney's Sleeping Beauty, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.

Grande's setlist included a mix of her chart-topping hits, both old and new. From her latest album, Eternal Sunshine, she performed "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends," alongside classics like "7 Rings" and "Into You." However, one of the evening's standout moments came when Cynthia Erivo, her fellow red carpet companion, joined her on stage. Together, they delivered a powerful duet of "When You Believe" by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, accompanied by a soulful chorus of backup gospel singers

Overflowing with gratitude, Grande took to social media to express her appreciation for the opportunity to perform at the prestigious event. Sharing glimpses of her ethereal performance on Instagram and TikTok, she thanked the event organizers, including Vogue editor Anna Wintour and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, for their support. In particular, she extended heartfelt thanks to Cynthia Erivo for her magical contribution to the evening's performance, emphasizing the honor of sharing the stage with such a talented artist.

Grande's attendance at the Met Gala marked her return to the event since 2018. Dressed in a custom white gown designed by Loewe's Jonathan Anderson, accentuated with a sculpted bodice made of mother of pearl, she radiated elegance and grace. Speaking to Vogue on the red carpet, Grande expressed her appreciation for the gown's tie-in with the themes of opalescence and the whimsy of Wicked, paying homage to Glinda's bubble with hues of pink and green.

Joined by other stars from the upcoming Wicked duology, including Jeff Goldblum and Jonathan Bailey, Grande's presence at the Met Gala illuminated the night with her enchanting performance and timeless elegance. As she continues to captivate audiences with her celestial talent and unwavering grace, Ariana Grande proves once again why she is a true icon of our time.
