Ariana Grande Shares a ‘Perfect Witch’ Tribute to Her Late Nonna

THE RUNDOWN

• Ariana Grande shared a new carousel of images from her life.
• The singer is mourning the loss of her grandmother, Marjorie Grande.
• Ariana shared a quote from her Nonna about Wicked.

On Saturday, Ariana Grande shared a carousel of pictures from her recent life, with several nods to her grandmother, Marjorie Grande, known by the family as “Nonna.” The singer announced her Nonna’s passing at the age of 99 in late June.

In her new post, she shared photos with her grandmother when she was a young girl, a shot of her brother, Frankie Grande, wearing a shirt emblazoned with “Nonna” in rhinestone lettering, a video of her mother, Joan Grande, receiving a kiss from Marjorie, and a quote from her grandmother of particular significance.

Over a shot of the moon out in a bright sky, Ariana wrote the question, “Are you a good witch or a bad witch?”

Underneath, she shared her grandmother’s response, in which she said, “I’m a perfect witch.”

Over the last several years, Ariana has been filming the movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, Wicked, in which she plays Glinda the Good Witch. The conversation she shared seems to imply she and her Nonna had obviously discussed the themes of the film together.

The singer shared her mother’s announcement of Marjorie’s passing in her Instagram Stories, which read, “We are devastated to share that the beloved matriarch of our family has passed away. Marjorie (Nonna) Grande passed peacefully in her home and was surrounded by her family and loved ones for every moment of her last few weeks.”

She later shared a black-and-white photo of Marjorie on her wedding day, writing in the caption, “Forever.”

Marjorie made an appearance on Ariana’s most recent album, Eternal Sunshine, vocalizing on “Ordinary Things.”

“And as I told her, never go to bed without kissin’ goodnight / That’s the worst thing to do,” Marjorie can be heard saying on the track. “Don’t ever, ever do that / And if you can’t, and if you don’t feel comfortable doing it / You’re in the wrong place, get out.”
