Ariana Grande (Part 2) | Podcrushed | Ep 72 

penn and ariana just have some kind of same humour i can’t explain it

so nice to see ariana surrounded by geniune and kind people

When four water signs get together you know you’re in for an emotional rollercoaster.

“release it” I LOVE PENN

She doesn’t seem at all jaded, the way she cries easily and talks about her emotions in relation to everything. That’s probably rare for people at her level in the industry

please interview her again in the future. i’m begging. this has by far been her best interview in the past several years. such thoughtful questions and attentive responses

"I'll just sing problem and go home" Omg i love her sm help

the way she spoke about Cynthia made me SO emotional

“i do this spin thing” is giving michael scott 😭😭😭😭

the fact that it was Penn’s idea to throw out the love potion 🥹 love the video!! such a great episode

The fact that Ariana said: I’ve been living in the studio” is absolutely making me so very happy & proud of her because Galinda & Wicked really brought Ariana back to making music, singing, rehearsing, dancing, doing more promos, going to events & everything !

I will never understand the people who say, they miss the old Ariana. The old Ariana was depressed and hurt on the other hand the new Ariana is happy, grateful, surroundet by loving people and first and foremost she is her true and authentic self. I love Ariana no matter what, she‘s so different but her soul is still the same. It makes me so emotional to see her grow and develop and to see her being finally happy. She deserves nothing but the very best. She has so much love in her heart and you can really see that, Even tho she‘s been trough so much. I will always love and cherish her and i am so proud of her development

Seeing Ariana so comfortable, vulnerable and open is an amazing testament to the safe space these guys created as hosts ❤ Definitely one of Ari’s best interviews ever, she really let us see that human Ari is fully in control now, and I hope she’s here to stay because it’s been wonderful seeing this side of her 🩷

people keep saying she looks so different, but i’ve never seen her look so much like her younger self ❤ makes me so happy

When she was asked at the end what she would tell her 12yr old self you can literally see her life flashing before her eyes before she answers

You can tell how happy Ari is in this environment, everybody is super friendly and authentic, could not be any happier for Ari

Me and the two other people waiting 😭

I love that Penn and Ariana became friends!! Love their bond!!

the fact that ari is opening up and truly happy makes me happy, she deserves the world

ETERNAL SUNSHINE DELUXE? THIS IS THE ARIANATOR’S WEEK FOR SUREEE!!!!

50:01 Ariana talking about Cynthia 😭😭 literally "because I knew you, I have been changed for good". I'm gonna cry

the way she spoke about cynthia just shows how beautiful her heart is and how amazing their friendship is!! that is a lifelong friendship! love them both so much 🫂🤍

she's so easy going & easy to talk to. i love that she interviews the interviewers back too. she's a very active listener

the 31:45 “I’ll just sing problem and go” 😭💀

I really love how Ariana feels more comfortable & happy to be around positive & genuine people around her. My girl is so very happy & healthy.

her relationship with cynthia is so touching 🥹

there's something about this interview. it feels like a candid conversation amongst a group of friends. it's so incredibly raw and you can just feel and see how comfortable ariana is. I love seeing this side of her. this is perhaps one of her best interviews to date.

28:39 she’s exactly right too, we can’t be friends came out at the perfect time for me and was so healing 🥲🤍

This was probably one of my favorite two part Ariana Grande interviews. She was so open and herself and it was so refreshing to see and listen. Please interview her every album release PLEASE!!!🥹💙

hearing Ariana talking about Eternal Sunshine feels so healing because so many songs are relatable to many of us. I'm glad that she released it in the end

Honestly the best interview of Ariana I have seen. I love the respect and the good communication. Well done guys

I love that when Ari is talking, she turns to talk to everyone. I think that's very kind

ARI WE NEED THAT DELUXE “RELEASE IT!!!!”

she seems so comfortable in this group of people, it’s been awhile since we’ve seen her be so happy and safe

(sorry y'all, novel incoming) it's so so heartwarming hearing her say she's been living in the studio and has been actually enjoying herself in her music career as of late. it made me so sad when she said in part 1 that she was never really happy to be doing it until recently. i remember how exhausted she seemed to me in 2014-2015 with all the promo, performances, and public appearances she was doing during that time, but she always maintained a professional and strong work ethic about it. then when the manchester attack happened in 2017 a lot of us were scared she would stop performing and hide from the public, which we wouldn't blame her for if she did. not only did she continue to perform and sing and make art for us, but she *went back* to manchester within 2 weeks of the attack to *perform there again* for the sake of not letting hate win. she went and visited people in the hospital who were injured. she paid for the funerals of those who didn't make it. she spoke with their parents & families and wanted to provide them with emotional support during that horribly difficult time as well. to know she was never very happy to be in the public eye before that and still came back to it for the sake of providing a good example for her fans even after being the target of a terrorist attack is incredible. again, none of us would've blamed her if she chose to hide and step back. but no, she took a quick break to gather herself and then resumed her world tour pretty quickly. and then after everything the internet has ganged up on her for since then, she is still going strong and not letting it get to her. i mean, out of all celebs, she really is the last one who should be getting the amount of hate she gets. she almost always handles everything with such grace and maturity. it has genuinely shaped how i handle things and treat people. even when people are disgustingly mean to her she finds it in her to respond with dignity, love, and kindness, or she just doesnt respond at all. anyway, im rambling here. i could go on about this woman's artistry, talent, kindness, etc etc etc for hours. i know she became a bit more clap-backy in 2018 & 2019 but honestly i don't blame her. the general public was nasty to her at that point. i know you never really know a celeb based on their public persona but seeing as ive been a fan since 2010 and really started paying more attention to her in 2013, i truly truly think she is an extremely kind person full of love with only the best intentions. i've always admired her for her vocal abilities but as time went by i continued to love her more and more based on her personality, humility, grace, and kindness. she and i see the world similarly and i think we would be good friends tbh lmaoo. she seems like such a chiller and such a fun person to have a genuine conversation with. she will always be my number 1 vocal/musical inspiration but also my number 1 inspiration for navigating the world with positivity and kindness. if she can do it, then so can i.

I cried through this whole episode. Seeing Ariana so happy talking about wicked and eternal sunshine is so special. Wicked truly healed her and you can definitely see it. I’m so excited for what is next to come and so thankful to be able to see her on her journey. Wicked will be THE movie of the year!

Penn Badgley and Ariana Grande´s friendship is something I didn´t know I needed ❤

Pen is soo goofy I love him. Makes him even hotter😔🫶

“I’ll just sing problem and go home” 😂😂 Ari noooo

Penn and Ariana’s friendship is so sweet 🤍

capricorn and cancer are such a great combo im glad they got along

This is the happiest I've seen her around people who are not actual family

when i say this is one of ariana's best interviews yet, the questions they asked were so respectful and i really enjoyed listening to both parts. extremely proud of Ariana for opening up on her experiences and thoughts, this has been my favourite album cycle of hers it's so special. i love her so much 🥲

I’m humbled by her humbleness

I love her deeper voice and how expressive she is when she’s talking

i absolutely loved both parts of the interview with ari. it truly felt like sitting down with friends and catching up and was just so natural and authentic ! i could honestly watch hours more 🤭 thank you so much podcrushed 💓

@29:32 I love how Penn reassured her and made her smile. I love both parts of this podcast the vibe is amazing, and you can tell how enthusiastic and comfortable Ari is with speaking, the questions and conversation flowed perfectly and felt so natural and enjoyable to watch. I smiled and laughed the entire time & I'm so proud of her and her journey.

She looks so happy and comfortable , I missed her sm.

The way she speaks about Cynthia has me balling. Two powerhouses bringing this story to life is for every little girl around the world that wanted to be Galinda or Elphaba! True soul sisters UGH!! 😭

its so healing to see her so happy and to listen to her talk about how good she's doing 🩷😭

I love how Ari and Cynthia speaks so highly of one another they seem to have such a genuine bond 💚 i know the movie is gonna be awesome🔥

i could listen to ariana talk forever

ariana is so heartfelt and genuine in these interviews. you can tell she’s so comfortable and proud. it’s great to see her grow so much and to be surrounded by understanding and loving people. ♡

If anyone doesn't respect Ariana after this then I lost respect for humanity, she is cool as hell and this shows that she is a grown adult that does not want to focus on anything that the narrative wants to focus on, proud of her! Great podcast you guys did great with her❤❤ I knew she was going to lean towards people that she was comfortable with rather than all these nut jobs out there that are trying to make money off of people's stories

This was the best Ariana interview, hands down!

i’m so sad this is the last part, i could watch this interview forever 🥲

Ariana seems to be very happy in this new era ❤❤❤😊

Ariana's comedic timing is impeccable

It would be absolutely great if she releases a big deluxe insted of 2 mini deluxes. Eternal Sunshine (Dawn Edition)

RELEASE ITTTTTTTTT, penn is one of us

She lights up when talking about Glinda. Truly so cute

love how ariana went back to the tattoo question and didnt forget. it looked like she kinda avoided it or had another question asked right after she could respond.. but then she went back to it. small details like that matter to me, idk.

wow i actually enjoyed this sooo much, i’m so so so grateful ariana is back to these kinda things and learning abt her is one of my favorite things!! i’m thankful for someone like her in the industry i hope it never ends and i luvvv how she’s been handling the eternal sunshine era, i cannot FATHOM a deluxe to an already amazing album!!! she works so hard and wicked looks absolutely amazing which i think we’re all looking forward to but one thing abt the interview that stuck w me was when she said she wasn’t rlly that nervous during her audition. wasn’t nervous for her audition for wicked??? like that’s so beautiful, i struggle w horribleee anxiety but would luvvv to do things like that, absolutely luv and i would luv to carry myself like her. she was confident and strategic and got that roll!! it’s hard to explain but her life seems so so beautiful

51:33 the love and care you show Ariana is wild 😭❤️ you can tell she is so comfortable in this space ❤️❤️

i love how we went from "the lip stick is a stick and the gloss is a gloss" ... to " Breathin' is about.... Breathing" and now we have "nothing is more campy than camp"

it's been a week now and I'm still watching this, from part 1 to part 2, not a single missed information. i feel so so so grateful to hear what she's been through in her life. thank you for choosing Ariana Grande as yall guest, you guys 🫶🏻

The fact that Ariana now, let herself cry and be emotionnal, you can see a big grow/healing process in her. Im so proud of what she is as a woman now

22:17 - 22:27 the way her voice completely changes here from her normal voice to her new lighter « musical » voice

Ariana was born to play Glinda, it's so amazing!🩷

BEAUTIFULLY DONE- she seems so authentic, genuine & safe. I love this vulnerability - well done Penn & other stunning women

I can’t wait anymore. Release it now. 😭😭

I love this ari, she truly feels the most comfortable with herself and the most happy shes ever been

omg the voice switch at 22:27 is so coooool. it’s so interesting, and it was nice to hear her natural voice it’s been a minute.

I CRIED watching the trailer for wicked and had to rewatch it a million times because that’s all the content available so far. I am so happy to hear more details about this before seeing it💗

Define Gravity cracks me up every time LOL

happy to see ariana happy/comfortable doing interviews/podcasts like this

Her laugh is so contagious, and calming. Like a matte chamomile tea that makes you sleep.

again, this is literally one of, if not the best interview of hers. so nice to see a safe and comfortable space and insightful questions but also not too serious

thank u podcrushed,, this 2-part interview has been imo one of if not THE best interview ariana has done. need her to come back on after wicked part 2 is out n maybe even ag8? 👀

Truly one of the most beautiful celebrity interviews I've ever seen. Thoroughly enjoyed watching both parts!

“I’ll sing problem and go home” 💀💀💀😭 girl me too

"I'll just sing Problem and go home" 31:45 So funny 🤣

Oh Nava, I wish I could hug you rn. Thank you for sharing that with Ariana--I had a similar experience, and listening to "Eternal Sunshine" really helped clear my conscience. It was cathartic.

Even though Ariana has had so much success in her music career becoming Glenda you can tell this was always something she dreamt of as a little girl and you can see how her eyes light up in pure joy

this healed me on so many levels

hearing her talk about Cynthia was so so beautiful :)

I love the friendship between all these people evolving throughout this podcast ❤

This podcast was everything. Love Ariana & the way she speaks. Sending her nothing but love.

everytime she gets emotional i cry. she’s such a beautiful soul

I don’t think we’re physically ready for the Wicked movie 💚💗 it sounds like Ari really deserved the role.

best interview she has made during this era ngl

I love that they talked about the whip scene. If you watch the music video you can see the whip misses Penn's leg 😆

this interviews are giving me LIFE 🥹

It´s really nice to see how comfortable Ariana was; it looks like they have all been friends for so long. They have similar sense of humor and stories... you can feel the tenderness when they talk and how they connected so easily to each other. You guys have our hearts ❤

Been following the podcast for a while now, its nice to see the arinators coming in and seeing the format and how welcoming they are to their guests, she seems more relaxed here.

Who’s ready for all the tea to be spilled

eternal sunshine deluxe is coming omg😭

I love how connected she is to her music!! I feel the same listening to a lot of songs, so relatable and healing! Also her time playing her role in Wicked really seems to have done her so much good in so many ways, Love you sm Ari.

i’m sooo excited something’s definitely getting announced

I can't wait, I've been anticipating this all week. Ariana grande and penn badgely are amazing
