48 free Ariana Grande trivia questions with answers. Ariana Grande went from a Broadway teen and a red-haired Nickelodeon sidekick to one of the biggest pop stars of her generation, then picked up an Oscar nomination for good measure. This quiz covers the whole run: the early Nickelodeon years, the 2014 chart takeover, the Manchester benefit concert, the Pete Davidson chapter that produced 'Thank U, Next', the Wicked films and the perfumes that outsell most of her rivals' records. It works for a fan quiz, a pop-music round or a car ride with someone who knows all the words to '7 Rings'. The easy questions are ones any Arianator will breeze through; the hard ones dig into featured artists, chart records and album trivia. Every answer has been checked against a primary reference and each question carries its citation, so if a friend swears Dangerous Woman went to number one, you can prove it stopped at two.
