Ariana Grande is launching a new philanthropic endeavor.

The 32-year-old pop star launched the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation focusing on protecting trans and LGBTQ+ rights, expanding access to mental healthcare, community support, arts education, and more.

According to the post Ariana shared on her Instagram, the foundation will be launched with four different funds partnering with organizations like the Humanity Crew and Trans Lifeline.

Here’s the statement she shared.

I am beyond excited to finally announce the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation. Our mission is to support, protect, and provide resources for our vulnerable friends in need. Through four different funds, we will be supporting handfuls of incredible organizations that provide the safe space and care that is desperately needed by so many right now.

It has been my privilege to be able to support these causes on my own over the years, and I’m grateful to now be able to expand that reach and amplify the life-saving work that these organizations do through the Brighter Days Ahead Foundation.

The Protect & Defend Fund is one of several funds that is part of the foundation, and they advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, civil rights, and reproductive justice; Heal & Dream Fund is to help expand access to mental health and community support; Seen & Celebrated Fund goes to combatting LGBTQ+ erasure and ensuring their voices are heard; and the Emergency Support Fund is a responsive fund to aid communities during times of collective need.

Brighter Days Ahead is named for her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine along with its deluxe edition, which includes the Brighter Days Ahead subtitle.

Ariana is currently on her Eternal Sunshine Tour. Check out her setlist here.

Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody is extending it’s run!

The Off-Broadway show just kicked off previews at the 6th Floor Theater at The Culture Club on Tuesday night (May 12), and it’s already adding more dates due to popular demand.

In addition, a brand new production photo of stars Jay Armstrong Johnson (Ilya) and Jimin Moon (Shane) has been released, where the actors can be seen recreating the gym scene from the first episode of the hit TV series.

Inspired by the hit show about hockey, Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody follows “starry-eyed golden boy Shane Hollander on his journey from power center to power bottom. Relive all of the moments from the show that made you wet (with tears) up close on the small-stage by an incredible cast of Broadway actors who thought they were auditioning to be in Season 2.”

The cast of the show also includes Ryann Redmond, Cherry Torres and Ryan Duncan, as well as standbys Shelby Acosta and Daniel Brackett.

Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody was originally only going to run for eight weeks, through July, but will now run through September 7th.

You can get tickets at HeatedRivalryParody.com!

“Heated Rivalry” author Rachel Reid recently shared her thoughts on the show, and if she is planning to go see it.

“It’s kind of fascinating to me. I think, in a way, it’s an honor, right? If you get to that kind of level, you have to be flattered. I don’t know if I’ll see it or if it’d be weird to see, but it’s definitely intriguing. It’s kind of cool that it’s happening.” – Rachel Reid, Entertainment Weekly

The author, who is currently working on a seventh book in the “Game Changers” series, titled “Unrivaled,” which will be the third Shane x Ilya book, added that she has followed the musical parody “very little.”

So, does she have any plans to go see it?

“I don’t have plans right now. I have not spoken to anybody there… There are some things, like the raves and things like that, I don’t think I could go to because I think it would be too much, too overwhelming, too weird for me, just from the clips I’ve seen. And this might be a similar thing. But I hope other people enjoy it.”
