Ariana Grande is an open book in her new 4-part YouTube docu-series, and she gave fans plenty of noteworthy moments from the first entry of her Dangerous Woman Diaries.
The first episode shows a behind-the-scenes look at the songstress recording her Sweetener album in the studio with Pharrell, shooting multiple music videos, and gearing up for her MTV VMAs performance of God is a woman.

Between all the confessionals and intimate clips of the singer interacting with fans, colleagues, and her manager, Scooter “cheesy ass” Braun, we learned a lot about what life is like for the 25-year-old on the reg. Here are some of the biggest takeaways:
Ariana FOUND Her Artistic Comfort Zone with Sweetener

While reflecting on recording her new album with Pharrell (or “P,” as she calls him), Ari mused:

“[Sweetener] feels like the most me an album has ever felt. It just feels, like, super close to home. More so than I’ve ever felt, I think. A lot of people were like, ‘How does it feel stepping out of your comfort zone?’ And I’m like, ‘Nah, I don’t feel like I stepped out of my comfort zone. I feel like I found it.’”

You Don’t Have To Understand The Concept For Your Music Video

While she was on set shooting her music video for the light is coming, the singer told viewers:

“Basically the concept of this video is like: ‘This is my forest. Get out’… Actually, I have no idea. I thought it was one thing, and now I don’t think it’s that thing. So, I’m just gonna let [director Dave Meyers] run with this one… I thought I saw the treatment and read it and came up with it, but then I got here and I realized that’s not what we’re doing.”

Mr. Meyers shed some light on the concept in a separate clip, dishing:

“[The video is about] trying to find their way through the forest of life, and how light is what guides you.”

Cool. Thanks, Dave!
Ari ALWAYS Puts Her Fans First

While explaining why she wanted to throw a Sweetener Slumber Party for her fans to listen to her new album, the pop star admitted that she cares what her fans think about her music — and no one else. Not even music execs!
Ari revealed she even flew in a fan from Paris and played him her new album before she showed it to her label. Wow!
There’s Another Star In The Grande Family

When she asked her mother and grandmother to be part of her performance at the VMAs, Ari said Nonna was more than ready to take the spotlight:

“[When I asked them to join,] my mom cried and Nonna’s reaction was like, ‘It’s about time you asked me!’”

Ha!
But the most valuable thing we learned?
“Don’t drink laying down.”
