Did Ariana Grande Know About Beyoncé's Surprise Album Release in 2013? A Revealing Podcast Episode Unveils the Connection
Ariana Grande may have been in on Beyoncé's surprise self-titled album release in 2013, as revealed in a recent podcast episode. Grande shared a heartwarming story about Beyoncé inviting her to a music video set early in her career, where Beyoncé offered her some advice. This visit took place shortly after Grande's performance at the American Music Awards in November 2013.
Grande's appearance on the set of Beyoncé's music video for "Jealous" likely occurred three weeks before Beyoncé's surprise album drop on December 13, 2013. The video was shot in New York City and featured Beyoncé both indoors and outdoors. Grande's presence on set during the filming of the video raises questions about whether she was aware of the album's impending release and kept the secret from others.
The timing of Grande's visit to Beyoncé's music video set and the release of Beyoncé's self-titled album suggests that Grande may have known about the surprise drop in advance. With Grande's connection to Beyoncé and her visit to the set, it is possible that she was privy to the album's release plans and kept the information confidential. The revelation adds an intriguing twist to the story of Beyoncé's groundbreaking album release.
