**Fans are buzzing with speculation after Ariana Grande’s latest interview left everyone talking.**
**The pop sensation appeared on the podcast *Podcrushed* with hosts Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari, sharing insights into her life and career in a two-part special.**
**Among the highlights was her emotional discussion about playing Glinda in the 2024 movie adaptation of the beloved stage play *Wicked*.**
**Grande teared up while speaking about her experience and her co-star, Cynthia Erivo.**
**”God, I’m not getting emotional again today; no, we’re not doing it,” she said, fighting back tears.**
**”But, no, it really was, because I think, um, there’s something baked into these roles where you’re so different from one another that you never know how it can go.”**
**”When you, you know, like, you’re sharing this experience in a big way, in a very big way.”**
She continued, “People have needs and people have their own creative process and you never know, like, are we… are we going to be healthy? It was the most symbiotic, beautiful… I feel very grateful to have done this with her.”
**Born in Florida in 1993, Ariana Grande started her career on Broadway at a young age, gaining initial fame through the musical *13*.**
**Her breakout role came as Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon series *Victorious* and its spin-off *Sam & Cat*.**
**Grande’s transition to music was marked by the release of her debut album *Yours Truly* in 2013, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200.**
**Over the years, she has evolved into a pop icon with numerous chart-topping hits like “Problem,” “Bang Bang,” and “Thank U, Next.”**
**In addition to her musical achievements, Grande is known for her distinctive four-octave vocal range and whistle register.**
**Her acting chops and powerful voice made her a natural fit for the role of Glinda in *Wicked*, a role she has long admired.**
**But it wasn’t Grande’s heartfelt reflections on her career that captured fans’ attention the most.**
**During the podcast, there was a peculiar moment where Grande’s voice changed abruptly, leaving fans puzzled.**
**At the start, she spoke in a lower register, but then, mid-sentence, switched to a much higher pitch.**
**Social media exploded with reactions to the sudden shift.**
One fan asked, “Literally why does she do this,” while another noted, “I knew she did this but to hear it in one setting made it more jarring I LOVE her.”
**A third joked, “This is me talking to my coworkers then switching to customers.”**
**Despite the jokes, some fans offered a more technical explanation.**
**One user commented, “I’m pretty sure she speaks in a mixed voice rather than chest for interviews and long speaking stuff for vocal health!”**
**Another added, “Isn’t she all about her vocal cords’ health? She always talks about it.”**
**In fact, Grande has been vocal about her rigorous vocal training, particularly in preparation for *Wicked*.**
**”I tried to use that to take lessons every single day while I was doing *The Voice* and get ready for these auditions,” she said, expressing gratitude to her coaches.**
**”I trained every day with Nancy [Banks] and with Eric [Vetro] to transform my voice, even — like, my singing voice — everything about me, I had to deconstruct to prove to them I could handle taking on this other person.”**
**Grande’s commitment to her craft is undeniable, but the voice switch during the podcast remains a topic of fascination.**
**Some speculate it’s a technique to protect her vocal cords, while others see it as a quirky aspect of her personality.**
**Regardless, it has sparked conversations and theories among her fanbase.**
The singer married real estate agent Dalton Gomez in 2021, which came following a very public–and very short-lived–engagement to Pete Davidson.
**As one of the most recognizable voices in pop music today, Grande’s vocal habits are closely scrutinized by fans and critics alike.**
