Awards season is still trucking along like the Little Engine That Could, and celebs are flocking to the red carpet for the 2026 SAG Awards. Er, I mean the 2026 Actor Awards. But not on the attendee list? Ariana Grande.
Despite being nominated for her role in Wicked: For Good, Ariana is skipping this year’s awards show. But she has a good reason! According to E! News, the multi-hyphenate is “in rehearsals for her upcoming world tour.”
If this is brand new information to you, Ariana actually announced The Eternal Sunshine Tour back in August, and it kicks off this coming June.
Literally never been more seated.
Anyway, despite not being in attendance, Ari is nominated tonight alongside Odessa A’zion for Marty Supreme, Amy Madigan for Weapons, Wunmi Mosaku for Sinners, and Teyana Taylor for One Battle After Another.
“Thank you so much for this tremendous honor @actorawards @sagaftra, for recognizing this performance a second year in a row and for including me in this group of magnificent women,” Ariana wrote in an Instagram Story. “I’m so so moved thank you.…I adore being part of this community and this acknowledgement means more than words can say. I share this and every single good thing that ever happens, with my tremendously brillian Wicked family...being given the chance to play this role, and to do this work with such company, will always be the greatest gift of my life...I’m so deeply grateful and honored...thank you!"
