This past week, Ariana Grande shook the pop music scene with the debut of her third studio album, Dangerous Woman. Showing off a completely new sound yet keeping her vocal skills prominent, this album represents a new era for Ariana. Starting off her career with the daydream vibe album, Yours Truly, the fact that she has ended up here with this more edgy album represents her constant change in the industry. However, she continues to remain completely successful in producing catchy music that her fans love. Here are a few ways in which Ariana has changed over the years.

Her look:

In the era of Yours Truly and earlier, Ariana was known for being the goody two shoes girl launching a music career from being a Nickelodeon actress and previous Broadway star. Pretty dresses, red hair, and her high ponytail were three things that were always a part of her wardrobe. In recent years, she has worn darker colors, more edgy and revealing clothing, and no longer has extremely red hair.

Her music:

Ariana's debut album, Yours Truly had a very bubbly, girly vibe. With songs such as Piano and Popular, it was a simple but catchy album. However songs such as Honeymoon Avenue, her intro track to that album are ones she has not let go of. Even on Dangerous Woman she includes a vocally outstanding track such as on her original album. Although her most recent album has a more techy sound with deeper lyrics that show her maturation, there is always a song on each of her albums that gives a hint of where she began.
