Also joining on marking the occasion was Jonathan Van Ness, who commented, “Happiest birthday queen ❤️❤️,” and Imogen Heap, who reflected on their friendship.
“Happy birthday gorgeous creature! Xx sending you some cooked lentils and beans (or whatever it was I cooked!) to mark our meeting for your 21st. Did you spend the evening a little nervous driving up and down a dark rural lane to get to your destination this year? Wow, times were different then x,” the musician wrote.
On Wednesday, Grande also had a moment of reflection by sharing an Instagram video of herself singing as a young girl.
The comment section was flooded with well wishes from her celebrity friends like Cynthia Erivo and Reese Witherspoon, along with a comment from her older brother Frankie Grande that read, “A STAR WAS BORN!! 🫶🫶🫶.”
The “Thank U, Next” singer’s talent is one her mother previously told PEOPLE was undeniable from a young age.
“She was probably 3, 3½. And she was in her car seat and I was driving and listening to NSYNC as every mother should be,” recalled Joan. “She hit one of JC [Chasez]’s power high notes and I kind of pulled the car over and I said, ‘Ariana, was that you?’ ”
