The singer, who portrays Glinda in the upcoming movie adaptation of "Wicked," discussed the pressures she faces in maintaining a certain appearance in the public eye.
Grande acknowledged that she has been under intense scrutiny since her teenage years, constantly hearing criticisms and expectations about her looks. She described the experience as being like a "specimen in a petri dish," where she has been subjected to various opinions on what is considered beautiful or acceptable.
Despite the challenges she faces, Grande highlighted the importance of having a strong support system that helps her maintain her confidence and self-assurance. She emphasized that she does not give space for negative commentary to affect her mindset.
In a separate interview for Vanity Fair, Grande also addressed rumors about undergoing plastic surgery procedures.

She passed the test with flying colors, reaffirming her natural appearance.
