It has been two years since the release of Ariana Grande's stunning collaboration with The Weeknd on "Love Me Harder" and we've rounded up her most exciting and inspiring moments since then. 

1. When she sent her fans an empowering message about the importance of self-love and self-worth:

The "Problem" beauty gave the speech in behind-the-scenes footage from an InStyle magazine photo shoot and said: "Focusing less and less on the physical is such a healthy thing. Having insecurities about what you look like is something that everybody deals with, but it’s not the most important thing."

"You really have to be nice to yourself. People aren’t nice to themselves anymore. I feel like you have to be so extra nice to your heart and your mind these days. There are so many people telling you that you’re not good enough, but you are good enough. You’re more than good enough.”

2. When she used her 2015 Madison Square Garden concert to find forever homes for puppies:

Ariana Grande sponsored fifteen puppies from New York City shelter Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue and showed images of them on big screens at the arena in hopes that fans in attendance might be looking to adopt a wonderful new pet. 

3. When she joined the cast of NBC's Hairspray Live! and had no chill about it:

In July it was confirmed that Ariana Grande had been signed up to play the role of Penny in the production and she told her fans that she fully expects to "pass out at the table read". 

Robert Greenblatt, the Chairman at NBC Entertainment, issued a statement on the exciting news and praised her acting and singing ability: "She’s also a Broadway baby at heart, having debuted on Broadway when she was 15, and will be fantastic in the delightful role of Penny Pingleton."

4. When she stood up for the inequalities suffered by women in the entertainment industry:

Chatting to Grazia magazine, she explained that it's disgusting to see the differences between the ways in which male and female artists are treated on social media:

"When a young male artist posts a shirtless picture on Instagram the comments will be like, ‘Oh my God, hearts eyes, so hot, babe alert!’ Like whatever. If a woman posts a suggestive photo of anything that expresses her own sexuality or confidence within her body it’s a very different response.”

5. When she released her album Dangerous Woman. It is just so. good. 

There's nothing we could even say about this record that would do it justice, so we'll just leave it at this!
