How Sweetener Reimagined Ariana Grande

Nearly 5 years ago, Ariana Grande transformed into a cultural phenomenon with Sweetener. Following the tragic events of Manchester, Sweetener gave Ariana a platform to redefine herself and her music. It lead to multiple hit singles and universal acclaim. The exploration in Sweetener set her up as one of the pioneers of trap-pop as well. In this video essay, we dissect the era's history and briefly cover each track to uncover why this era was such truly a "cultural reset." #arianagrande #sweetener #eternalsunshine My podcast, "MacHeads", is now also on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1d0AUhq...
