Describe research methods and results (5-6 sentences)
People have emotions brought out when they listen to music, especially when it can relate to something they are going through at the time which can be a musical communication. Sad music can make someone sad, while happy music can have someone suddenly feeling joyful even though they were both originally going through the same emotions. In one study, some emotions that appear as represented categories are sadness, happiness, anger, or fear (Gomez Canon, et al, 2019). With Classical music, some researchers have attempted to find characteristics of the listeners and their perceived emotions(Gomez Canon, et al, 2019). This would mean to have music relating to each culture/language and all languages in the study should be considered. Additionally, it is highly debatable that pop and rock are in fact neutral and homogeneous since several variations across the world show different ways to convey emotions (Gomez Canon, et al, 2019). Lastly, the experiment could have biased the responses in the sense that asking for understanding forces the subjects to pay attention to the lyrics, losing ecological validity. Future studies will consider other types of tests to prove if subjects effectively understood the lyrics (e.g., using a “fill in the lyrics” question after listening to each fragment).

Hypothesis:
This hypothesis was created by researching how the fans reacted to Grande’s music all the time when she came out with music. It was also clear how people reacted to her makeup line R.E.M and how they love her products, including ones that came out years ago. She has made a huge impact on a lot of youth from when she started the show “Victorious” on Nickelodeon. Then she started her own music and from there she skyrocketed to becoming more famous with her voice, and the concerts she did. I would say Ariana influences youth positively through her music and the products she puts out.
Hypothesis 1: Ariana Grande has a significant impact on Listeners in the United States.
How you came up with hypothesis 2: The second Hypothesis was found by searching through Ariana Grande’s social media. She posts frequently about anything she has new coming out or she is starring in. It appeared that the posts and social media, in general, are what keeps her popularity going. Grande came out with a new version of a song a couple of weeks ago called “Yes and”? She had done a remix with Mariah Carey and her fans loved it since it made the song catchier. Her fans follow her on every social media platform and keep up with her life. I think this is what keeps the youth making her popular status higher every day.
Hypothesis 2: The more social media posts about Ariana Grande the higher her popularity among the U.S Youths.

Explain Units of analysis (1 page)
I grabbed the thematic Analysis part from my proposal
I will analyze magazines by reading on what Grande brings to her fans as her modeling and singing. I will also look for how Grande feels about herself and how she thinks of what fans think of her in her own world. Magazines also have an interview with the idol on what they have going on with their lives or a topic on a new album coming out. I will also see what the interviewer asks the idol as well what questions they come up with. Also, the images and shots of the idol to look at what kind of clothing they’re wearing that attracts her fans. I also will analyze on comments the idol makes back to the interview as well.
I will analyze social media Tikk Tock and Instagram by looking at what the Idol post. I will also analyze on what fans say on both social media platforms to the idol if they are positive or negative comments. I will see what the idol post as well on social media and what they add with their post as well for their fans. I will look for any new music coming up and how they post about the new album or song. I will look for music videos that the idol may add like a sneak preview of a new song or album some idols do teasers for their fans. I will look at the comments of fans to see what they say when this idol post of their new album coming up. I will also see how many people listen to her music on social media as well.

Introduction
Ariana Grande is arguably one of the most famous international Pop Stars and she is considered a good role model by many people. She is known for her acting, her music, and her makeup line. Women who look up to Ariana Grande are better able to process their emotions and have a better self-image because Grande does a good job encouraging independence, promoting body positivity, and encouraging women to feel beautiful as themselves.
Ariana Grande was born in Boca Raton on June 26th, 1993 (BBC, 2017). Grande got her start as a child on Broadway in the musical, 13, and became famous from the hit show “Victorious” on Nickelodeon (Gundersen, 2014). Since Grande got her start on a children’s show, this means that many of her now adult fans have been following her career from a young age. Her first song called, “Put Your Hearts Up,” did not do well and Grande later said to Rolling Stones, “‘It was geared toward kids and felt so inauthentic and fake’” (BBC, 2017). Grande did not become more famous until she came out with something more authentic, something her fans love her for. Grande finally became popular with the release of her song “Problem”.
This relates to communication because as an artist Grande is bound to relate to communication. Through her music, she sends messages to fans which the fans then reciprocate as seen throughout social media such as TikTok and Instagram. She also sends indirect messages through her makeup line by which products she chooses to show to her fans and even by the brand name she picked for her beauty line.

Grande became famous with the song, “Problem”. In the song, “Problem” Ariana Grande started to encourage women to be more independent without the help of men. In the song even though she sings she is still in love with this person, she also realizes “I should be wiser / And realize that I’ve got / One less problem without ya” (2014, Grande). So while she is conflicted in the song, she still realizes she is better off without a man. Grande starts encouraging women’s independence and understanding of emotions with her album “Sweetener” released in April of 2018 (2022, Smith). On her album “Sweetener” she shows her fans that you should heal on your own terms so that you see the best version of yourself that you are becoming. Ariana shows her fans how to deal with their emotions in a healthy way.

Ariana Grande is coming out with a new album March 8th, 2024. Her fans have been waiting four years for the idol to come out with an album which is called “Eternal Sunshine” which arrives next month. She shared all her post of her new album all over her social media. This album comes around after her divorce from a person she was married to and called off the marriage last year.

Positive effects on makeup are having women be confident in themselves and how they look to other people. Google says makes people look more younger, improves self-esteem, and can also make you look perfect in photos for social media. Woman want to look natural with their makeup on and not too over board with it. Wearing makeup for people is basically a look with your outfit. Sometimes social media is not always what it seems with people wearing makeup and smiles on their faces. Women should feel that their inner beauty is great and powerful. People always blame magazines or social media for having people’s photos photoshopped to look picture perfect.
For woman makeup is a look for others to cover their face and make it more prettier than they think it is. Woman put lightmakeup on like mascara and eye shadow with a natural look. With Instagram / Social media it isn’t what it seems as to be looking perfect. By someone posting a natural picture on social media may send a message to people on how it does not matter if you post a natural picture instead of one that is touched up. Having makeup on is a womans personality of themselves. Woman should start thinking that inner beauty comes first within themselves.
Ariana Grande came up with her makeup name R.E.M by it meaning “ Rapid Eye Movement”. Grande wants her makeup brand to positively effect people by targeting an enhancement of embracing natural beauty within. Grande also wants her fans to express themselves with them wearing her makeup. Ariana has always wanted this to make her feel powerful and empowered by coming out with her makeupline. Alot of fans like her makeup line as well it is animal cruelty free. Ariana’s brand is suppose to make her fans feel they can self express themselves. The products of her’s is easy to use for people with all skin types and skin tones.
The makeup R.E.M is package pretty spacious with all the packaging being silver. The makeup is stylish, elite and pleasing to people. The products which Grande sells are pastel colors and some of the products look like cassette tapes as well. Grande wants to take it back to the 1990s which is pretty cool to people. Her products are to be put out as looking natural with the makeup line. One of her eyeshadow pallets has color shades which are warm and cool tones. Her lip sticks are matte which is suppose to mostrise lips and feel light weight while wearing the product. She also has lashes which are pretty cool to make a dramatic look with them which is suppose to blend with your natural lashes. One other product is her plumping lip gloss which plumps someones natural lips to make them more fuller which has alot of oils and is light weight as well.
Her album after that one was called “ Sweetener” on April of 2018 which feautrued her hit song at the time “ God is A Woman” which alot of woman loved due to herro saying that all women are goddesses of beings and all are one of a kind and how woman are much more than just their looks and their personality. She has made 14 perfumes since 2015- 2023 . Recently Ariana was telling people to stop body shaming her now she does look like she is super thin and she explained how she was on antidepressants and was drinking on them and she said it was super unhealthy doing that to her body. She also stated on how no one knows what a person is personally going through behind scenes which is true you may never know is someone is struggling with something personal and never shows it.

Ariana Grande music influences people to listen to her music and look up to her as an idol. Grande also put’s alot of emotions in the music she produces. Some of her song are heartbreaking or upbeat songs. Grande has always showed woman to always be comfortable in your own skin. She makes woman feel like they can be themselves and not care what others think. Grande portrays her self image for woman to feel powerful and beautiful. She also shows woman it does not matter what skin color you’re or race. This is why woman look up to her and are inspired by this idol.
Research Hypotheses
I came up with this hypothesis by researching how the fans react to Grande’s music all the time when she comes out with music. I also saw how people reacted to her makeup line R.E.M and how they love her products, including ones that came out years ago. She has made a huge impact on a lot of youth from when she started the show “Victorious” on Nickelodeon. Then she started her own music and from there she skyrocketed to becoming more famous with her voice, and the concerts she did. I would say Ariana influences youth positively through her music and the products she puts out.
Hypothesis 1: Ariana Grande has a significant impact on Listeners in the United States.
How you came up with hypothesis 2: I came up with my second Hypothesis by searching through Ariana Grande’s social media. She posts frequently about anything she has new coming out or she is starring in. This helped me consider how the posts and social media in general is what keeps her popularity going. Grande came out with a new version of a song a couple weeks ago called “Yes and”? She had done a remix with Mariah Carey and her fans loved it since it made the song catchier. Her fans follow her on every social media platform and keep up with her life. I think this is what keeps the youth making her popular status higher every day.
Hypothesis 2: The more social media posts about Ariana Grande the higher her popularity among the U.S Youths.
Thematic Analysis
I will analyze magazines by reading on what Grande brings to her fans as her modeling and singing. I will also look for how Grande feels about herself and how she thinks of what fans think of her in her own world. Magazines also have an interview with the idol on what they have going on with their lives or a topic on a new album coming out. I will also see what the interviewer asks the idol as well what questions they come up with. Also, the images and shots of the idol to look at what kind of clothing they’re wearing that attracts her fans. I also will analyze on comments the idol makes back to the interview as well.
I will analyze social media Tikk Tock and Instagram by looking at what the Idol post. I will also analyze on what fans say on both social media platforms to the idol if they are positive or negative comments. I will see what the idol post as well on social media and what they add with their post as well for their fans. I will look for any new music coming up and how they post about the new album or song. I will look for music videos that the idol may add like a sneak preview of a new song or album some idols do teasers for their fans. I will look at the comments of fans to see what they say when this idol post of their new album coming up. I will also see how many people listen to her music on social media as well.
