Billboard 的年度女性奖已成为音乐界最高荣誉之一。曾获奖的年度女性艺术家包括 Selena Gomez（赛琳娜·戈麦斯）、Madonna（麦当娜）、Lady Gaga 和 Taylor Swift（泰勒斯威夫特）。
This is my fierce little singer lady,She always told her I have to say this that she asked me some questions one time.

You say："Patti what should I do?"

And I told her just to be herself because she's phenomenal, next, okay and so my son told me not to say that but it's true I know.
Okay listen, so I am so proud to present to my baby girl the Billboard 2018 Woman of the Year award to my little baby-baby friend girlfriend, Miss Ariana Grande, you better go go

An artist that could be at her peak like reaching her... you know whatever and think she's really got her shit together, you know?

After I come off stage I want to hug everyone you're all amazing, I look forward to hopefully wanting to give some of the love and forgiveness that I've given away so frivolously and easily two men in the past to myself hopefully this year

God bless you all and love on each other, good night!
Ariana Grande has had a rough couple of years.
In 2017, there was a suicide bombing at her Manchester, England concert that killed 22 people and injured hundreds of others. And this year, she not only broke off her engagement with comedian-actor Pete Davidson, but her ex-boyfriend, rapper Mac Miller, died as a result of a drug overdose as well.
But apparently keenly aware of the trauma and obstacles Grande has endured, Auntie Patti—more commonly known as Patti LaBelle to those suffering from acute melanin deficiencies—made it her civic duty to lift Grande’s spirits at Billboard’s 13th annual Women in Music event on Thursday night.
“I’m thrilled to be among so many wonderful friends to present this year’s ultimate honor to Billboard’s Woman of the Year. A young woman who has it all,” Aunti Patti preached from the pulpit. “She’s soulful, strong, and she’s just sensational. She’s all that and a bag of chips. She’s a giant talent who sings from the heart, as I learned when we sang together at the White House for President Obama and Mrs. Obama. She tore it down. Honestly, she can sing her face off.”
Then—whether we want the 25-year-old songstress to partake in our beloved baked beans or not—I think Auntie Patti extended an invitation to the cookout:
“She asked me some questions one time. Remember when we did the President’s stuff? And you said, ‘Patti, what should I do?’ I said sing like that little white/Black girl that you are. She got soul like a mug!” she told Arianna, “My son told me not to say that, but it’s true.”
“Your son was probably right,” Grande interjected.
Look, we love you Auntie Patti but this ain’t it.
Pretty much.
Especially when Patti’s comments are coupled with Grande’s penchant for routinely deploying brown face (she gets darker by the hour and receipts are readily available via Google), making some questionable remarks (“Thank you, guys, so much for coming to my quinceanera!”) and capitalizing off of racial ambiguity.
So congrats on the very much deserved award and your resilience in the face of adversity should be lauded, but cookout invitations are suspended indefinitely.
Feel free to sing from the sidewalk though.
And of course, we still love you though, Patti.
A妹谈论自己可爱搞怪的童年照
说到A妹的新歌，不禁让人回想起之前A妹在推上与粉丝的互动。A妹在她的新专辑里面，有一首歌是写给现任的未婚夫pete Davidson，因为歌名就叫做《pete》，狗粮也是喂了粉丝慢慢的一大把。
于是有歌迷问A妹：how long is pete???（pete有多长？）
而耿直的A妹如此回答：like 10 inches?oh fuck …I mean …like a lil over minute（大概有10 inches，恩，oh，不，我的意思是差不多有一分钟）
于是网友纷纷直呼，A妹开车太快，完全看不懂，怪不得与现任这么早就订婚了。但玩笑归玩笑，A妹幸福就好了。
前段时间《时代周刊》公布2018年“下一代领导人”的最新名单上，A妹的名字也是位于其中，而且还登上了这期的封面。那么A妹是如何能在如此众多的歌手中，有这么高的评价呢？
如今A妹ins上的粉丝数也超过了霉霉，成为了傻脸娜之后排名第二的ins用户。那么这位一米五的A妹，气凭什么超过一米八的霉霉？如果你了解A妹，那么你一定会被这位身高只有一米五的妹子深深所折服。
A妹出生于1993年的佛罗里达。从小她就拥有过人的音乐天赋，仅仅4岁就已经在儿童剧院表演音乐剧。让她立足音乐圈的是15岁的时候，凭借出演百老汇音乐剧，而且还获得了美国国家青年剧院协会将。
俗话说，出名要趁早，16岁开始，她就出演了《音乐之歌》的主演，并且在青少年中积累了众多粉丝。渐渐的，A妹开始了自己的音乐之路。20岁那年，是A妹第一张专辑，而且就在首周，就登顶了billboard的榜首，对于一个新人来说，这是一个巨大的肯定。
2014年，A妹发行了第二张专辑。其中传唱率最高的当属与麻辣鸡、结石姐合唱的《bangbang》，这也让她彻底火爆了全球。特别让人记忆犹深的是在AMA颁奖典礼上，A妹面临两位气场强大的歌手，也丝毫不怯场。这才是一个巨星所需要的魅力。
随后A妹在2017年，发行了自己的第三张专辑《dangerous women》，而这张专辑席卷了各大榜单，仅仅22岁，A妹就获得了巨大的成功。
想必以前A妹的皮肤，A妹如今是偏杏色，美黑了自己。而粉丝也纷纷调侃到，A妹真的是我最爱的黑人女歌手。如果你错过了当年的艾薇儿，那么现在就不要错过A妹。果真是“天王盖地虎，A妹一米五，那么你会为A妹打call么？
一米五的小个子的穿衣之道
除了歌声打动人心，A妹也是穿衣服的一把好手，这也是大家都不愿相信她只有一米五几的原因。相信你们都很想知道：到底A妹怎么把自己一米五的小矮个穿成一米七的大长腿的呢？
心机一：“扎高高”
A妹最出名的是她的高马尾辫，高马尾辫不仅让A妹青春活泼颜无敌，更可以在视觉上拉高身材比例。
不管是接拍广告↓
还是演唱会现场↓
永远有一个“高”字贯穿其中：任何发型A妹都要扎高高~为身高增加点分量，这种小心机非常适合矮个子妹子们去学习~
心机二：“露胃装”
熟悉A妹的人都知道，A妹大爱两节式的服装，下装一般都是高腰短裤或短裙，营造出“胸部以下全是腿”的错觉。
就算难得穿一个长裤，也是要配超短上衣拉长身形，你说这只有一米五？黑嘿是不信的。
心机三：“oversize+下衣失踪”
喜欢R&B的女孩子，都有一颗男友风的心。超宽大的外套，恰好遮住臀部，整个一冰棍造型，又娇小又纤细。最后再配上一双高跟，又增高了一丢丢！
越红越会感恩
虽然A妹的歌手之路越来越顺利，但是她却从来没有忘记过给她帮助的人，在圈里人缘很棒，对粉丝也很nice。
其中最令黑嘿吃鲸的就是：A妹和欧美圈话题女王卡戴珊（Ins排名第五）也成为了好闺蜜？还参加卡戴珊姐妹团的各种趴体。
欧美圈撕逼这种事情，大家已经是见怪不怪了。前有麻辣鸡和霉霉撕逼，后有卡戴珊家族作妖。
但是A妹偏偏是一股清流，从来没见她跟谁闹翻过。她先后和Chris Brown，麻辣鸡，传奇哥和Justin Bieber等多位大牌合作过，但是没有任何一件不和传闻，他们反而都成了A妹的好朋友。
最近还有消息说Ariana Grande会和水果姐Katy Perry一起合作出单曲，两大女神的强强联合，令人脐~带~
就算是和这么多大牌认识，在路上遇到粉丝求合照她也是有求必应，看起来像是相识多年的朋友一般。
最神奇的事，A妹她也是 Snow 的忠实粉丝，你可以经常可以看见她变成动物卖萌的样子。看来欧美圈也逃不开ps的魔掌了，科科~
不过，A妹也是有黑历史的，最著名的当属“甜甜圈事件”。被监控拍到跑去別人的甜甜圈店里，舔架上的甜甜圈，然后说讨厌美帝。。也是直白的没谁了。。会演会场，有颜有才，不仅和名媛们交好，对待粉丝也是平易近人，如果这么一个完美的人设，没点黑点反而会更加不真实吧？
