29 of Ariana Grande’s Best Instagram Posts

Ariana Grande is really living her best life lately. Her Dangerous Woman tour is about to start, the album of the same name is full of girl-power jams, she recently lit up the VMAs stage, and she and Mac Miller seem as happy as can be. Ari’s practically sitting on the top of the world right now, and in our opinion, no one deserves it more than this smart, strong songbird.

One of the reasons we admire Ariana is that she’s never been afraid to speak her mind; she’s an unapologetic, unbothered feminist. She supports gay rights, is constantly reminding the world to uplift other women, and is a pro at shutting body-shamers down. She always stays true to herself, and it shows through in all of her projects, whether that’s music, style, or even on Snapchat. She’s living proof that if you believe in your dreams and work really hard, they’ll come true and be better than you ever thought.

In celebration of Ari’s total domination (seriously, she’s killing it right now), we rounded up some recent moments where our girl proved that hard work, focus, and a willingness to speak your mind helped you achieve your best life. The fact that it's all on Instagram is that much better — the proof is right there in front of your eyes.
