Why I said ‘No’ to lip fillers and Botox – Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande has disclosed that she has stopped using lip fillers and Botox treatments in recent years.
Grande made the remarks during a Vogue video on her beauty secrets, in which she was frank — and emotional — about how her relationship with beauty has evolved over time.
The singer and actor have not previously stated that they have undergone any cosmetic operations. She remarked that having grown up in the spotlight and dealing with public scrutiny over her beauty from a young age, “it’s really hard to know what’s worth hearing and what’s not.”
Grande, now 30, explained while applying makeup for the video that she used to embellish her beauty looks with bigger hair or thicker eyeliner “as a disguise or something to hide behind,” but as she gets older, she doesn’t “love that being the intention behind it anymore,” preferring to think of it “as self-expression and accentuating what is there.”
She went on to say that she employed cosmetic operations in the same way. “I’ve had a lot of lip filler and Botox over the years.” “I stopped in 2018 because I was feeling so — too much,” she explained. “For a long time, beauty was about hiding for me, but now I wonder if it’s not.”

“I want to see my well-earned cry lines and smile lines,” she continued. “I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper and I laugh more and more. Ageing can be such a beautiful thing.”
A rare admission
Though the use of injectables and other treatments among renowned faces is a well-known fact in Hollywood, it’s uncommon for celebrities to be candid about how they’ve altered their look — even with less invasive, more commonly accepted procedures.
Some celebrities, like as Chrissy Teigen and Cindy Crawford, have been open about their cosmetic modifications. Blac Chyna has gone even farther this year, using social media to film the months-long process of dissolving face fillers in her lips, cheeks, and jaw.
Grande is one of a growing number of young patients who have received cosmetic procedures.
According to an American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery report, 27% of patients having Botox injections in 2022 were 34 or younger, a 6% increase from 2015. In addition, 75% of face plastic surgeons reported an increase in the number of patients under 30 seeking cosmetic surgery or injectables – a significant year-on-year increase, as a comparable percentage of doctors reported an increase in 2021.
Grande told Vogue that she hasn’t given up on injectables or surgery for good. “Do you think I’ll get a facelift in ten years?” “I might,” she said with a giggle. “However, these are just ideas that we should be able to discuss.” If we’re talking about beauty secrets… F*** it, let’s spill the beans.”

David Walliams has filed a High Court complaint against ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent production firm.
The suit against FremantleMedia is classified as a data protection action. Other information has not been provided.
From 2012 until 2022, the actor, comedian, and novelist served as a judge on the show.
He confessed to uttering “disrespectful comments” about two participants while shooting in 2020 last November.
He apologised and stated that the words “weren’t meant to be shared.”
According to The Guardian, a leaked transcript obtained by the publication revealed that he made insulting and sexually explicit statements about participants while shooting an episode of the talent show in January 2020.
In a statement at the time, the TV personality said: “I would like to apologise to the people I made disrespectful comments about during breaks in filming for Britain’s Got Talent in 2020.
“These were private conversations and – like most conversations with friends – were never intended to be shared. Nevertheless, I am sorry.”
Thames TV, which is owned by FremantleMedia, stated that while Walliams’ comments were private, his choice of language was “inappropriate.”
Fremantle revealed in January that former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli will be joining Britain’s Got Talent for the 2023 season, thus replacing Walliams.
Walliams is still one of the country’s most successful entertainers. He rose to prominence on the BBC sitcom Little Britain opposite Matt Lucas.
During his stint on Britain’s Got Talent, he received the National Television Awards for best judge in 2015, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
He’s also a best-selling novelist, with titles such as Gangsta Granny and The Boy in the Dress.
The legal action was taken using Walliams’ true name, David Edward Williams. His representative has been contacted for comment.
FremantleMedia did not respond to requests for comment. The firm produces Family Fortunes, QI, and Never Mind The Buzzcocks, as well as Britain’s Got Talent, and is one of the country’s largest TV production companies.
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez called it quits on their marriage in February 2023, but sources say the two are still seeing one other.
Ariana’s social media posts for Dalton, as well as their double date with Ethan Slater and Lilly Jay, have raised concerns.
On Valentine’s Day, only a few days before announcing their breakup on February 20, 2023, the pair posted heartfelt words for one other.
According to Daily Mail.com, after announcing their divorce, Dalton travelled to London, where Ariana was filming Wicked at the time.
“Saying she was split with Dalton in February is absolutely impossible,” they stated, “He was in London a couple of times after February, including in April when they went on double dates with Ethan and Lily.”
An informant told Entertainment Tonight in April that the pair was very much in love despite their lengthy distance.
“Ariana has been so focused, but Dalton has been there with her and supporting her behind the scenes,” said a source.
Ariana was said to have just moved in with Ethan, who filed for divorce two months before the former.
However, the rumours were disproved when neighbours informed Deuxmoi that the two are not formally living together, but “Ethan is spending a lot of time at Ariana’s place.”
Usher, the R&B artist, will perform in the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show on February 11, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Usher’s residency at the Park MGM Hotel in Las Vegas has been extended, according to the statement.
Usher, full name Usher Terry Raymond IV, was one of the late 1990s and early 2000s’ biggest singers, with multi-platinum songs such as “You Make Me Wanna,” “Pop Ya Collar,” “Yeah!,” “Burn,” and “Confessions Pt II.”
He previously appeared in the Super Bowl as a special guest of the Black Eyed Peas in 2011. His appearance in the Super Bowl halftime performance is the latest outcome of the NFL’s collaboration with Jay-Z’s entertainment organisation Roc Nation.
Jay-Z has called Usher “the ultimate artist and showman,” and has stated that he is “beyond excited” to watch him perform on the Super Bowl stage.
Usher has stated that he feels “honoured” to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show and that his performance would be “unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before.”
He’s also suggested that he could invite special guests on stage with him.
With over 100 million viewers tuning in each year, the Super Bowl halftime show is one of the most-watched television programmes in the world.
