Starbucks and Ariana Grande unveiled a new collaboration appropriately titled Cloud Macchiato on Tuesday (March 5).
As per the coffee giant, the pop star is the new brand ambassador for the company and their common interest falls on none other than their love for clouds. "We've long been fans of Ariana Grande's (and we’re both fans of Clouds), so we're excited to work with her to celebrate the debut of Cloud Macchiato," Starbucks said in a statement. Cloud Macchiato is said to "combine the craft of Starbucks espresso, the heritage of Starbucks Caramel Macchiato (created in 1996) and the innovation of Starbucks Cold Foam, an airy microfoam frothed cold and blended until smooth, creating layers of creamy texture and flavor, without the cream."
While some Starbucks specialty drinks serve as temporary alternatives, Cloud Macchiato will be a permanent fixture on their menu. It is available iced or hot in caramel and cinnamon at participating U.S. and Canada stores. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old titan's favorite tunes, including some of her hits, will be featured on one of the playlists at locations throughout those participating locations from March 9 - 15.

In addition to that, Grande is also up for several iHeartRadio Music Awards this year, including the fan-voted Best Fan Army presented by Taco Bell. Fans can vote via Twitter using the appropriate category and nominee hashtags, or by visiting iHeartRadio.com/awards through March 7th (March 13th for Best Fan Army). For the first time, the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards will air on FOX on Thursday, March 14 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) as a 2 hour TV broadcast. The show will also be broadcasted as a 2-hour national iHeartRadio broadcast across 150+ iHeartMedia stations as well as on iHeartRadio.com and in the iHeartRadio app. The show will also be streaming live on FoxNow.
