Ariana Grande is celebrating her birthday with some sweet nostalgia.
On Wednesday, June 26, the pop star marked her 31st birthday on Instagram by sharing a throwback video of herself singing as a young girl.
In the sweet video, Grande is seemingly performing for the person behind the camera as she sings at the top of her lungs and busts out some dance moves.
"Why don't you sing the Céline Dion?" the person behind the camera asks before the video ends.
In the comments section, her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo sent her birthday wishes: "Happy birthday my sweet sister 🥹🥹🥹💚💚💚"
Meanwhile, her older brother Frankie Grande commented, "A STAR WAS BORN!! 🫶🫶🫶"
Reese Witherspoon also showed her some love: "Oh yessss! Please never lose this energy !"
The official Instagram for the upcoming Wicked film dedicated a birthday post to the "We Can't Be Friends" singer, who plays Glinda the Good Witch. The film will hit theaters on Nov. 27.
Alongside a photo of Grande in her costume, the caption read: "Happy Birthday, @ArianaGrande 👑🩷"
Earlier this month, the "7 Rings" singer released a remix of her Eternal Sunshine track “The Boy Is Mine” featuring Brandy and Monica, who put out their R&B classic of the same name back in 1998.
"This was both a pleasure and an honor @arianagrande We love you deep!! @brandy divine timing ♥️ 25 THE BOY IS MINE …. Remix out NOW, click the link in our bio… Enjoy 🐈⬛," Monica wrote on her Instagram page.
Grande also shared a light-hearted video of her collaborators speaking about how they were called to take part in the remix. "I rocks with Ariana," Monica said, before Brandy added, "She can really sing!"
Their feature on the track came after the two stars made a surprise appearance in her "The Boy Is Mine" music video starring Penn Badgley. Grande teased the trio’s new song on Instagram days before its arrival by thanking the two legends for hopping on the track with her.
Meanwhile, after a recent interview on the Podcrushed podcast — hosted by her music video co-starBadgley — Grande caught viewers' attention when they noticed a shift in her pitch as she answered a question.
Once the video made its way to TikTok, Grande appeared in the comments section and set the record straight. “habit (speaking like this for two years) and also vocal health 🙂 🍵,” the Wicked star wrote. “i intentionally change my vocal placement (high / low) often depending on how much singing i’m doing 😭i’ve always done this BYE.”
