ARIANA GRANDE’s Nonna Honored with Commemorative “Record”
Written by Ariel Newbold on April 17, 2024
Ariana Grande shared on Instagram the commemorative plaque that Billboard gave to her grandmother.
Ari posted (quote) “Celebrating the one and only, most beautiful Nonna. who has now made history for being the senior most person to ever appear on the @billboard Hot100.”
Billboard gift certifies Nonna’s milestone. Ariana collaborated with Nonna on “Ordinary Things” one of the tracks on Eternal Sunshine. She states during the song’s outro (quote) “Never go to bed without kissin’ goodnight. And if you can’t. If you don’t feel comfortable doing it, you’re in the wrong place. Get out.” (Billboard)
Hot Takes:
- Ari should do it again next year. And right after each of Nonna’s birthdays. Keep pushing the record older and older.
- Family is core to Ariana. Nonna, her mother and brother Frankie.
- So many artists appear in public as if they’re only children. Never a sibling around in support.
- Nonna’s wrong about kissing goodnight. Do not “get out” before fighting for the relationship.
