Ariana Grande switches managers, joining forces with Brandon Creed, who also represents Demi Lovato, four months after parting ways with Scooter Braun.

Ariana Grande has signed with Good World Management’s Brandon Creed – four months after dropping SB Projects’ Scooter Braun following a decade of working together.

The disgraced 42-year-old – whose notorious acquisition of Taylor Swifts’ master recordings prompted her to re-record her first six albums – publicly ‘liked’ Billboard’s Instagram post about the announcement.

‘[Ariana] likes that [Brandon] understands her on a different level and between acting and music, she has a lot coming up and is excited to have found a new support system to help her execute her plans,’ an insider told Billboard on Sunday.

A second source added: ‘She wants the focus to be her art and he puts her artistry and vision before anything else. He is the perfect person to help her execute her visions for this next chapter of her life and career.’

The 30-year-old pop star was following in the footsteps of her Met Him Last Night duet partner Demi Lovato, who signed with Creed in September after also dropping Scooter (born Scott).

Brandon – who served as associate producer on Jennifer Lopez’s 2022 rom-com Marry Me – also manages the hefty music careers of Troye Sivan, Mark Ronson, Charli XCX, and Normani.

On Saturday, Ariana and Jennifer Hudson joined Mariah Carey onstage Madison Square Garden to perform her 2010 track Oh Santa! – three years after singing the same track on her Apple TV+ Magical Christmas Special.

And last Thursday, Grande (born Butera) shared footage of herself hard at work on her long-awaited seventh studio album in a recording studio.

The two-time Grammy winner – who boasts 509.3M social media followers – received excited comments from her famous friends Billie Eilish, SZA, Selena Gomez, Ty Dolla Sign, and Cynthia Erivo.

The British 36-year-old – who co-stars with Ariana in Wicked – wrote: ‘Love you sweetheart, no one is ready, I’m so freaking proud of you! This project is so freaking special!’

Grande – whose last single Die for You with The Weeknd topped the Billboard Hot 100 – hasn’t released a full-blown record since her sixth studio album Positions in 2020.

The Florida-born millennial – who gets 82.7M monthly listeners on Spotify – has made more headlines for her love life than her music this year.

Ariana fell in love with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater on the London set of Jon M. Chu’s big-screen adaptation of the 2003 Broadway musical sometime between December 9, 2022 and July 13, 2023.

The 31-year-old Tony nominee filed for divorce from his ‘heartbroken’ high school sweetheart Lilly Jay (and mother of his 16-month-old son) on July 26 – a week after their affair was exposed.

‘[Ariana’s] the story, really. Not a girl’s girl,’ Jay scoffed to Page Six on July 27.

‘My family is just collateral damage.’

Grande – who was engaged to Bupkis creator-star Pete Davidson for four months in 2019 – ended her 21-month marriage to her real estate agent Dalton Gomez on February 20, and the divorce was finalized on October 6.
