Latin Music Superstars Dominate 2025 Billboard Awards

The 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards were a night to remember, with Latin superstars Bad Bunny, Karol G, and Fuerza Regida taking home major honors. As the music industry celebrates these talented artists, pop icon Ariana Grande is also reflecting on the support she received from her own idols when she was just getting started.

In a recent interview, Grande shared how she was "very lucky" that her musical heroes, including Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, and Madonna, were "very kind" to her early in her career. She recalled Madonna being one of the first to reach out and give her a "warm welcome," which Grande found deeply inspiring. The two have since built a close relationship, with Grande even covering Madonna's hit "Vogue" and performing with her.

Grande also spoke about Carey's support and meeting Beyoncé, who invited her to visit a music video shoot and offered her advice. These experiences, Grande said, made her "feel safe" as she navigated the industry. As she continues to soar, the pop star remains grateful for the mentorship and encouragement she received from her musical icons.
