The internet went berserk after a clip from Grande’s interview at Penn Badgley’s Podcrushed Podcast hit TikTok. In it, her voice seems to jump from a lower register to a familiar, airy high note in the middle of a conversation. With over six million views, fans were naturally curious. Fortunately, Grande herself spoke up in the comments to set the record straight.

It turns out that the “7 Rings” singer is a master of vocal range. She explained that she consciously adjusts her voice depending on the intensity of her singing (it’s all about vocal health, people!). By consciously changing her voice, she protects her precious vocal cords from overuse.

Some fans even speculated that the change was a foretaste of her upcoming role as Glinda, the Good Witch, in the highly anticipated Evil film. While Glinda’s portrayal likely requires a larger vocal range, Grande clarified that adapting her speaking voice is primarily about taking good care of her instrument.

The interview was about their latest album, Forget it!and the demands of intensive studio sessions – which fully explains why the singer prioritizes vocal care during recording, especially on such a demanding project.
