Ariana Grande is “deeply grateful” for her fans as her breakthrough album ‘My Everything’ turns 10.
The ‘Thank U, Next’ hitmaker marked the anniversary by dropping an extended reissue of the 2014 LP – which spawned the hits ‘Problem’, ‘Break Free’ and ‘Love Me Harder’ – and reflected how the record “changed [her] life”.
She shared alongside an Instagram promo for her special releases on Thursday (22.08.24): “happy tenth anniversary to an album that very much changed my life.
i love you all so much and am deeply grateful always. hope you enjoy these little anniversary celebration surprises. (sic)”
Ariana has new streaming and record bundles available as well as new merchandise.
‘My Everything (Tenth Anniversary Edition)’ boasts the tracks ‘Cadillac Song’ and ‘Too Close’, which were previously only available on a limited-edition CD sold at Target stores.
Meanwhile, the ‘Wicked’ star recently recalled how she needed “time and therapy” to appreciate her teen fame because becoming a pop star at 19 was “insane”.
The 31-year-old singer began her career as a child actress appearing in Nickelodeon shows ‘Victorious’ and ‘Sam and Cat’ before launching her music career – and she’s now admitted it’s been difficult to look back on her early music because it was such a difficult time in her life.
During an appearance on YouTube show ‘Hot Ones’, Ariana explained: “That’s a natural thing that all artists can relate to. There was a time when it was hard for me to feel that same gratitude that I do now for certain songs and for the music … becoming a pop star is insane at 19 or 20, and I think that experience was sort of married to some of the songs a little bit.
“Or some of the songs that are more emotional, the experience that inspired them can be married to the music. But with time and therapy, we sort of are able to re-embrace, so I feel just really proud and grateful and happy when I hear them. I’m like, ‘That’s a good song’. Whereas I used to maybe hear it and cry so that’s a beautiful thing.”
