Ariana Grande

American actress, singer and performer Ariana Grande first found fame as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s Victorious and its spin-off Sam & Cat, before becoming one of the biggest pop stars of her generation. Alongside her music, she has consistently used her platform to promote compassion for animals and the benefits of plant-based living.

Grande has been vegan since 2013, when she publicly announced she was going “100% vegan”. She has spoken about veganism as a choice rooted in empathy, saying it is driven by her love of animals, while also highlighting the way plant-based eating can support wellbeing.

Ariana has been vocal about the realities of animal agriculture and has questioned the normalisation of consuming animal products, including pointing out that cow’s milk is produced for calves rather than humans. She has also spoken out publicly against animal exploitation in entertainment, urging fans to boycott SeaWorld after the documentary Blackfish exposed the suffering of captive orcas.

Her veganism is not a passing phase. In a 2024 interview, she joked about family members offering her meatballs even though she does not eat them, replying: “No, thank you, I’m still plant-based.” By continuing to speak openly about her choices, Grande helps normalise vegan living for millions of fans, showing that kindness can be part of everyday life, whether you are at home, on tour, or in the spotlight.
