It was a day filled with double the joy for Ariana Grande fans! On June 26th, Grande took to social media to celebrate not just one, but two special occasions. In a heartwarming display of friendship and nostalgia, she showered her longtime best friend, Liz Gillies, with love on her 30th birthday, while also paying subtle tribute to their shared roots on the hit Nickelodeon show, Victorious.
Grande took to Instagram Stories to share a sweet message for Gillies. Alongside a candid selfie of the two, she wrote a heartfelt caption: “Happy birthday to the most beautiful, brilliant, talented, funniest person I’ve ever met in my life @lizgillz.” The message overflows with affection, highlighting the deep bond the two actresses share.
This birthday tribute held extra significance for fans of the show Victorious. Grande and Gillies co-starred in the popular sitcom from 2010 to 2013, portraying best friends Cat Valentine and Jade West. The show’s enduring legacy continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many, and Grande’s post subtly acknowledged that connection.
While there wasn’t a direct reference to Victorious, the timing and the fact that Grande and Gillies met and bonded on the show’s set, made the birthday tribute feel like a celebration of their on-screen and off-screen friendship.
This sweet gesture from Ariana Grande not only warmed the hearts of fans but also highlighted the enduring power of friendship. It was a reminder that the bonds forged on Victorious continue to thrive in real life, even years after the show’s finale.
