Ariana Grande is going back to basics when it comes to her name.

The singer and actress, 31, chose to swap her stage name with her full name “Ariana Grande-Butera” in the credits of her new movie Badaccording to E! News.

Her full name includes both her mother’s name, Joan Grande, and her father’s name, Ed Butera. Grande’s father, a graphic designer, divorced her mother, Joan, when the pop superstar was eight.

The change comes after the “We Can’t Be Friends” singer reconnected with her estranged father in recent years after the pair fell out of touch in 2013.

The following year, Grande described the experience as “one of the hardest things” she had ever had to deal with.

“It’s private… It took me so long to be okay with it,” she explained in a 2014 cover interview with Seventeen magazine. “So much of me comes from my father, and I didn’t like that about myself for so long. I had to accept that it’s okay to not get along with someone and still love them.”

She briefly touched on her relationship with her father in her 2018 hit “Thank U, Next,” in which she sang, “One day I’ll walk down the aisle / Hand in hand with my mother / I’ll thank my father.” . because she grew out of the drama.

Grande has also documented how they repaired their relationship on social media, sharing a throwback photo with him in 2017 and writing, “I love you.” She also posted a black and white photo of herself FaceTiming with him over Christmas in 2018.

Meanwhile, her name is in the Bad credits is not the only change for the Nickelodeon alum, who earlier this year discussed her vocal changes for her role as Glinda in the film, in which she stars alongside singer and actress Cynthia Erivo, boyfriend Ethan Slater and a host of other famous faces.

“I just played a character every day for a long time,” she explained. “(I trained) my voice to do different things for a long time before I left for London and before all this; muscle memory is real.”

In response to fans who initially teased her about the vocal change, the singer also responded, “I intentionally change my vocal placement (high/low) often depending on how much I’m singing 😭.”
