Ariana Grande is always a welcome presence at the VMAs, so obviously some of us (very much me) were bummed not to see her walk the red carpet. Even though, to be clear, this photo from 2018 occupies a permanent place in my mind:

Ariana skipping the VMAs is kind of a surprise considering she is nominated for Best Metaverse Performance (help), so...what was she doing instead of walking the red carpet? TBD, but Ariana has a lot going on lately, including the release of her new God Is A Woman Body collection, which consists of of four products: a body scrub soufflé, a body oil, a hand and body cream, and a travel-sized version of her fragrance. She announced the video (fully makeup free) on TikTok:

And Ari actually hit back at a critic who commented “pls remember that you’re a singer,” replying, “I have actually never felt more at home in my voice or like more of a singer.” (Um...yeah, she’s literally working on Wicked right now!)

FYI, Ariana’s new line is available at Ulta, and she told Allure, “We’ve been looking forward to this and working on it quietly for so long, so I’m so beyond excited and thankful to launch this with Ulta Beauty, who continues to be such an incredible retail partner and for my fans who can go there to explore all of our yummy God Is a Woman product in our little home we’ve made at Ulta Beauty. These products are some of my favorites we’ve developed so far, and I can’t wait to share them with the world.”
