Ariana Grande Congratulates Victoria Monét on Grammy Win
Ariana Grande took to Instagram to celebrate her longtime friend and collaborator, Victoria Monét, on her recent Grammy Awards win for Best R&B Album. Monét beat out tough competition from artists such as Babyface, Coco Jones, Emily King, and Summer Walker to secure the prestigious award.
In her Instagram post, Grande expressed her deep pride and happiness for Monét, remarking on her hard work and contribution to the industry. Grande praised Monét for being in a league of her own, quietly making her mark in the music world. The two have often discussed this moment since they first met, during many tour bus sleepovers, and Grande expressed her joy at witnessing the goodness Monét has poured into her collaborators over the years finally returning to her.
Monét, who has co-written popular songs such as “thank u, next,” “needy,” and “Be Alright” for Grande, has been a close friend for years. The bond between the two is so strong that Monét was one of the six women to receive a matching ring with Grande in honor of her song “7 Rings.” In fact, when Monét thought she had lost her ring, Grande surprised her with a replacement.
At the Grammy Awards, Monét received a total of seven nominations, showcasing her talent and versatility as an artist. The Grammy-nominated collaboration between Monét and her toddler daughter, Hazel, was particularly noteworthy. Their track “Hollywood,” featuring another artist, earned them a nomination for Best Traditional R&B Performance.
The friendship between Grande and Monét is evident throughout their journey in the music industry. Grande’s heartfelt Instagram post was met with a sweet response from Monét on the red carpet. Holding her daughter Hazel, Monét expressed her gratitude for Grande’s unwavering support and called her a true believer from the beginning of their friendship.
