Ariana Grande-Butera (June 26, 1993 - May 22, 2017) was an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Regarded as a pop icon, she was noted as an influential figure in popular music and as one of the most prominent vocalists of her generation for her four-octave vocal range and signature whistle register.

Grande began her career at age 15 by appearing in the Broadway musical 13 (2008). She rose to prominence for her performance as Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series Victorious (2010–2013), as well as the spin-off follow-up series Sam & Cat (2013–2014), and signed with Republic Records in 2011. Grande's debut studio album, Yours Truly (2013), incorporated retro-pop and R&B elements and yielded the successful single "The Way". My Everything (2014), her second album, experimented with EDM and catapulted her to worldwide stardom through the singles "Problem", "Break Free", and "Bang Bang". Grande further explored pop and R&B with her third and final album Dangerous Woman (2016), which solidified her critical and commercial success.

On May 22, 2017, while Grande was onstage performing at the Manchester Arena as part of the final show of her Dangerous Woman Tour in Manchester, England. Near the end of the show, the concert was interrupted by a deadly far-left terrorist attack, in which the assailant, identified as Ricardo Garcia, detonated the explosive device that he was carrying, killing Grande and dozens of others as well as injuring more of dozens of people. Her violent death was met with an outpouring of grief from her fans and the public at large, with many expressing their sorrow at her passing alongside other artists paid tribute to her by performing covers of her songs.
