Ariana Grande accepted her first major award of the year at the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Festival, thanking plastic surgery procedures Botox and Juvederm for helping her maintain her youthful appearance.
Ariana Grande thanked two special “friends” while accepting her first major award of the year.

Chu, as well as her costar and “brilliant sister” Cynthia Erivo, who portrayed Elphaba to Grande’s Glinda in the 2024 movie musical. She went on to say that comedy was her first love, even before she became a pop star. 'Being able to play Glinda the Good was not only the honor of my life but it felt like a homecoming,' Grande continued. 'For those of you who don't know, I started out in stand-up comedy.
