Ariana Grande Playing In The Snow With An Iced Coffee In Hand Is A Winter MOOD.

By now, you’ve surely heard about the new Cloud Macchiato drink, by way of Starbucks or Ariana Grande. The drink is delicious, and honestly, it makes perfect sense that Ariana is promoting it (she referred to herself as a Starbucks Ambassador on Twitter)—she’s spotted holding Starbucks cups all the time (dating back to at least 2013) and filmed a bit with James Cordon in a Starbucks last year. A girl after our own caffeinated hearts.

Per Starbucks, the collab extends to this new drink and forthcoming store playlists (more on that below), but if I had to bet, I’d say there’s more Ari-Starbucks action in the future. With that in mind, I obviously felt the need to conduct a deep dive into Ariana’s longstanding love of Starbucks. Here are all the reasons we should have seen this collab coming, including a very telling Instagram from way back in September.

2013

Way back in November 2013, Ariana walked into BBC Radio One in London, England, Starbucks in hand.

The same month, Ariana tweeted her love for Starbucks, and they responded with some kind words about her New Artist of the Year nom.

In an “Ew” skit on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy shows Ariana a photo of venti lattes (in a Starbs cup!). Her character responds: “EW. I prefer grandes.” See what she did there…😏

2018

This entire Carpool Karaoke is amazing, but arguably the best part features Starbucks. James Corden asks Ari if it’s true she asks to be carried around (short answer: no, weirdo!). They then make a pit stop at Starbs where James jokingly carries Ariana in on his back. She orders a soy latte and says “I’m going to get a grande…gets ’em every time!” Honestly, if you’ve ever doubted Ariana is hilarious, you must watch this video.
