Ariana Grande Reveals She Plays Virtual Monopoly Online With Strangers

Ariana Grande has revealed that she likes to play Monopoly online with complete strangers.

As part of Vogue’s ‘What’s In My Bag?’ series, the Grammy-winning singer revealed that she likes to play the online version of the classic board game on her iPad while travelling or waiting around at work.

“I have my iPad when I'm traveling and when I'm waiting on set or whatever, I like to play games,” she said.

“I play a lot of Monopoly online with strangers. It's die-hard; I think I'm on level 80, I believe. I'm not kidding.

“I would say it's mostly for Monopoly and my virtual farm,” she added.

She also revealed that she carries her phone, black earmuffs, Ricola cough drops, two sets of headphones, lavender oil, her own fragrance, MOD Vanilla, as well as vegan snacks.

The Oscar-nominated actress said that she also carries a gift she received from a fan.

“This is actually a lovely little thing that a fan gave to me at the Wicked premiere in LA,” she shared.

“He was so sweet, he gave me this little tiny book called Ari's Pick-Me-Ups and I thought that was the cutest thing in the world.”

“They're just random quotes that are just so uplifting and sweet, and one of the pages says 'Toss, toss' with bubbles that he drew everywhere, next to a quote from [director] Jon M. Chu.”

Grande was nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category at the 2025 Oscars for her role as Glinda in Wicked.

Her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo was nominated for Best Actress for playing Elphaba.

The pair gave a jaw-dropping performance at the award ceremony, with a medley paying tribute to the wonderful world of The Wizard of Oz.
