Common grounds are still grounds and are still susceptible to tectonic clashes. Ariana Grande, with her industry-spanning territory, and Taylor Swift, with her chart-crushing feats, seem to be well-versed in the possibility. While some may think their niches set them apart, music brings them together, and sometimes, not in ways that are very chart-smanship-friendly, at least to someone who might not stop to check twice the credibility of events. 

Taylor Swift may not have attended the Super Bowl, but that does not mean the impact would somehow leap past her, much to Ariana Grande's apparent displeasure. 

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime brought with it several moments that had a country-wide effect. While his ticket sales already rivalled those of Taylor Swift's, the championship performance could have also posed a threat to her chart reign. However, what one might not expect is the pop mogul taking drastic measures to beat the dethroning, even more, asking Ariana Grande to let her borrow fan activity in streaming currency. 

While it may sound compelling, Taylor Swift has, in fact, not had contact with Ariana Grande, for this matter at least. Neither has Swift expressed any worries about being pushed down the charts for a while. Any news that says so can safely be assumed to be a rumor. 

Taylor Swift's 'The Life of a Showgirl' has been revolving around, if not on the no. 1 spot at any given moment, since its release. Recently, after a good three months spent on various Billboard tallies, 'Fate of Ophelia' has taken a few steps down to exchange places with Swift's second single on the album, 'Opalite', as per several outlets. The shift in attention is also accompanied by a music video, released on February 8, 2026, and much to the rumors' surprise, not Ariana Grande.

Ariana Grande's recent focus, has not been debunking Taylor Swift, but surely jumping back into theatrics. 

Despite her unshakable attachment to Glinda, Ariana Grande has steadily been moving past her Wicked days. and onto the Barbican Theatre stage. Not without a token, however, Grande is taking on her role in Sunday in the Park with George, with Jonathan Bailey, who played Prince Fiyero alongside her and Cynthia Erivo. Grande, in her first time on the English theatre scene, and Bailey on his return to it, will probably step into the shoes of Dot and George, respectively. 

Instead of using them to vouch for a peer, Ariana Grande is taking her enthusiasts on a theatrical, and big-screen-studded ride. And Taylor Swift, fending for herself as effortlessly as ever, remains outside of Grande's sphere of activities, so far, and still safely tucked atop the charts.
