Ariana Grande makes very risky move while staying in the same Crown Sydney villa as Taylor Swift

Pop superstar Ariana Grande took a major safety risk during her stay at Sydney’s Crown hotel in Barangaroo this week.

While Down Under for the premiere of her new movie Wicked, the 31-year-old Bang Bang hitmaker was booked into the same grand presidential villa used by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce earlier this year.

But instead of avoiding fans, Ariana was seen mingling with her followers in the hotel’s public areas.

This was in stark contrast to Taylor Swift and her entourage, who made extensive use of Crown’s extensive security measures during her stay on her sold-out Eras tour.

“Ariana and her team were advised against using the public entrances as it could be a security issue, but she insisted she could thank her fans for coming,” a source revealed Yahoo lifestyle on Tuesday.

“After checking in on Saturday, she even took a walk through the lobby and past Barangaroo, stopping to take selfies with anyone who stopped her.”

Known as the hotel of choice for A-list stars, The Crown offers amenities that ensure performers’ privacy remains intact.

These security measures include a private entrance and underground parking.

Taylor made extensive use of the security details and was not seen by the public during her stay Crown’s Presidential Villa.

The villa is located on the 88th floor of Crown Towers Sydney and typically costs $25,000 per night.

The 800 m² residence is spread over two levels and offers unparalleled views over Sydney Harbour.

The first floor features a large living room, kitchen, bar, pool table and media room for entertainment.

A dining room comfortably seats up to 10 people and there is also a fully equipped office and butler’s quarters.

The second floor features a spectacular master bedroom with a spacious bathroom complete with a marble spa bath and steam shower.

A second king-size bedroom features a luxurious bathroom, with the luxury extending to the fitness room, complete with infrared sauna.

There is an open-air terrace with a private heated infinity pool.

Ariana and her boyfriend Ethan Slater also treated Sydney Wicked fans to an impromptu meet and greet on Sunday.

The Thank U Next hitmaker was joined by her Wicked co-star boyfriend, 32, as they sent fans wild taking photos and signing autographs.

Ariana made sure all eyes were firmly on her as she made a dazzling entrance in a fairytale-inspired pink dress.

The pop sensation, who plays Glinda in the highly anticipated film adaptation of the hit musical, embraced her inner good witch with a dress that was nothing short of enchanting.

The magical ensemble consisted of a corseted bodice adorned with intricate embellishments that sparkled under the lights.

The outfit added to the drama with puffed sleeves made of sheer, shiny fabric.

Her dress then flowed into a dramatic tulle skirt, ending in layers of blush pink that trailed gracefully around her.

She wore a dazzling choker necklace that matched the sparkle of the dress and gave a modern twist to her classic look.

Ariana and Ethan met in December 2022 on the British set of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked, in which Grande plays Glinda – the good witch – alongside Ethan as munchkin Boq.

Ariana previously dated rapper Mac Miller from 2016 to 2018, who tragically passed away due to an accidental overdose.

The singer publicly mourned her ex by immortalizing him in songs on several hits, including Ghostin and Just Like Magic.

She also enjoyed a whirlwind relationship and a brief engagement to Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson in 2018.
