Ariana Grande is keeping her late grandmother close to her heart.
In a new cover story for Vogue Japan published on Monday (January 26), the Wicked star shared the sweet ways she continues to honor her Nonna Marjorie Grande, who passed away last year at the age of 99, per People. Grande revealed one such tribute is that she carries two ChapSticks that her Nonna would use, one in her purse and the other at her bedside.
"I always have a little bit of her with me," she said.
In addition to the physical representation of her love for her late grandmother, the "We Can't Be Friends" singer also tries to follow her Nonna's blunt advice of "F--- 'em" to keep her going.
"I attempt to channel her strength always," Grande said.
Grande's mother Joan Grande confirmed in June 2025 that Marjorie had passed away surrounded by her loved ones.
"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 said on her Instagram Story. "We thank you for your love, support and for respecting our privacy as we grieve and celebrate her beautiful, extraordinary life."
The Eternal Sunshine hitmaker reshared the tribute to her Stories while her brother, Frankie Grande, penned his heartfelt sentiment to the woman who taught him "how to love without conditions."
