Actress and singer Ariana Grande has had an exhausting year. Between her hectic workload throughout the past several months and her ongoing personal and a few physical issues, it has really taken a toll on her. So much so that those closest to her have begun to notice, enough so that it has everyone growing very concerned.
Ariana Grande’s public appearances lately have sparked alarm. Many have noticed an uneasy tension in her body language, a nervous brightness in her smile, and a sense of exhaustion. One that even heavy makeup can’t disguise.
After the massive success of the second Wicked film earlier this year, Ariana should be celebrating. Instead, insiders tell the Daily Mail that the premieres and interviews over the last several weeks have left her shaken and emotionally drained. What should have been a time of happiness and celebration has twisted into days marked by anxiety and intense scrutiny over her shrinking frame.
Ariana’s schedule is only building from here. With another movie on the way, a massive pop tour, and endless press commitments, many believe the singer is taking on more than she can handle. They’ve urged her to slow down and put her mental health before her career.
This isn’t the first time Ariana Grande has seemingly buckled under the weight of her own career. She has carried severe trauma since the horrific incident at her Manchester concert in 2017, an event that left her with long-term PTSD. The symptoms return during stressful periods.
That’s why multiple sources have spoken out that Grande’s loved ones fear the singer is “not in a healthy place” and are urging her to prioritize her “mental health” following the release of Wicked: For Good.

The star has also faced relentless commentary over her weight and appearance. This is something that’s deeply affected her. Online criticism about her thinness and “fragile” look hit harder than many realized.
Thankfully, Ariana hasn’t been weathering the chaos alone. Cynthia Erivo, her Wicked co-star, has become a steadying force. Ervivo checks on her co-star constantly. She often steps in between Ariana and aggressive fans. Their bond has become so intense that their hyper-emotional red-carpet moments repeatedly go viral.
Despite her fragile state, Ariana Grande continues racking up accolades. She’s even considering returning to stage work someday. But the music industry demands much more from her with the upcoming 41-date tour. The pressures leave the singer quietly admitting that touring drains her to the point of collapse.
“She is struggling right now,’ the family source stated to the Daily Mail. “She’s not in a healthy place, and she knows it. Everyone around her knows it. Her anxiety is through the roof. She over-exerted herself, and the cracks started to show pretty quickly.”
Ariana Grande may be achieving some of the biggest milestones of her career, but behind the glamour, the toll is becoming impossible to hide. Loved ones are worried. Her body is tired. And unless she slows down soon, she could be headed for a serious crash. For now, all her supporters can do is stay close, offer advice and help, and hope she listens.
