on screenevery ariana grande movie and tv show, in order
the acting is not a sideline and never was — it is where she started. twenty-five years from a community-theatre annie to an academy award nomination, with a nickelodeon sitcom in the middle that took most of a decade to shake off. 28 credits, 19 of them linked to the exact thing rather than a search for it.

before any of the rest of it. a community-theatre annie at eight, broadway at fourteen.
- Anniestagea community-theatre production at eight years old. it is on the list because it is where the whole thing starts, not because anybody filmed it.wikipedia Annie (musical)search youtube
- 13stagea broadway musical at fourteen, with a cast made entirely of teenagers and a band to match. the first professional credit, and a reminder that the singing came before the sitcom rather than after it.watch on youtube Broadwaycomwikipedia 13 (musical)more on youtube
- A Snow White Christmasstagea los angeles christmas pantomime, staged while victorious was still running. the last stage role before the recording career took the calendar over completely.watch on youtube fanlalatvwikipedia A Snow White Christmasmore on youtube

nickelodeon owned most of a decade, and she spent the next one proving that was not the whole story.
- The Battery's Downtelevisiona single episode of a broadway-insider web series. a footnote, and the only screen credit that predates nickelodeon.where to stream netflix, prime, elsewheresearch youtube
- Victorioustelevisionfifty-seven episodes, and the role that made her famous and then took six years to escape. worth watching now mainly to see how completely the public persona was built out of it — and then dismantled.watch on youtube NickRewindwhere to stream netflix, prime, elsewherewikipedia Victoriousmore on youtube
- iParty with Victorioustelevisionthe icarly crossover tv movie, and the high-water mark of nickelodeon's shared universe. two casts, one party, and an audience that has never entirely let it go.where to stream netflix, prime, elsewherewikipedia IParty with Victorioussearch youtube

- Sam & Cattelevisionthe spin-off, thirty-five episodes, running at exactly the moment her debut album came out. she was doing both jobs simultaneously, which explains a lot about the pace of the early years.watch on youtube NickRewindwhere to stream netflix, prime, elsewherewikipedia Sam & Catmore on youtube
- Scream Queenstelevisiona short, funny, deliberately silly part in ryan murphy's horror comedy — and the first role that traded on the nickelodeon image rather than being trapped by it. she does not survive long, which is the joke.where to stream netflix, prime, elsewherewikipedia Scream Queens (2015 TV series)search youtube

- Kiddingtelevisiona guest turn in jim carrey's strange, sad showtime series, playing a singing fairy inside a children's programme inside a show about grief. the tonal opposite of everything around it that year.watch on youtube SHOWTIMEwhere to stream netflix, prime, elsewherewikipedia Kiddingmore on youtube
- The Voicetelevisionone season as a coach, and she took it unusually seriously — the technical notes she gives contestants are the closest thing on record to hearing her explain how she actually sings.watch on youtube Best of The Voicewhere to stream netflix, prime, elsewherewikipedia The Voice (American TV series)more on youtube

including the voice work, which started at seventeen and which almost no filmography bothers to list.
- Snowflake, the White Gorillavoicean english dub of a spanish animated film, and the first voice credit. a footnote, but the footnote that shows the voice work started at seventeen rather than with a studio contract.where to stream netflix, prime, elsewherewikipedia Snowflake, the White Gorillasearch youtube

no stills or posters appear on this page. film and television imagery is studio-owned and not available under any licence this site can use — so every photograph here is a premiere, a stage or a carpet rather than a frame from anything. the watch links are resolved by npm run gv:screen, which accepts only channels youtube itself marks as verified and prefers the studio, the network or her own — the channel is printed on the card so nobody has to guess. anything that fails to resolve keeps the search it always had, and the credits page explains the rest.
