4 Steps to Making Ariana Grande's 26th Birthday The Best Yet!

When Young Hollywood was invited to SpongeBob Squarepant’s 20th birthday bash, it coincidentally fell the day after Ariana Grande’s 26th birthday. Being huge Ariana stans ourselves, we knew she is a die-hard SpongeBob fan. We took this as the perfect opportunity to make her 26th birthday extra special by having the whole cast of Spongebob Squarepants wish her a happy birthday. Want to know how we made this possible? Here is the secret formula to making Ariana Grande’s birthday the best one yet!

Step 1: Be the biggest Ariana Grande stan there ever was and you will know about her obsession with SpongeBob.

It’s not a secret that Ariana Grande is one the biggest SpongeBob Squarepants stans to ever exist. Grande’s love for the residents of Bikini Bottom has been well-documented all over her social media. When she takes a break from her Sweetener Tour, you can typically find her responding to SpongeBob memes on Twitter, delivering a soulful rendition of the “Krusty Krab Pizza” song, or the iconic “The Grill is Not a Home” on Instagram.

Step 2: Finesse an invite to SpongeBob Squarepants 20th birthday party.

It’s the 20th anniversary of "SpongeBob Squarepants", and Nickelodeon threw the cast a huge bash. For SpongeBob’s birthday blowout, they are airing an episode where they will be bringing the people who voice the characters of Bikini Bottom to life, merging live-action with animation. The people who voice the characters were in attendance promoting the episode. We saw this as the perfect opportunity to sit down with them and tell them how big of a fan Ariana Grande is of the television show.

Step 3: Ask the whole cast to help us give Ariana the best birthday surprise ever.

After chatting with the "SpongeBob Squarepants" cast, they were thrilled to hear that the "thank u, next" singer was a huge fan. They love her as well and were so excited when we asked them to wish her a happy birthday. All your childhood favorites -- Tom Kenny (SquarePants himself), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy Cheeks), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton) -- channeled their respective "SpongeBob" characters to give the pop star an iconic birthday video.

Step 4: Let social media work it’s magic.

We all know what the power of social media can do, so we quickly posted the video to our Instagram and Twitter. With the help of Ariana Grande superfans tagging her in the video, she saw the post in a matter of minutes. Grande was thrilled about the shoutout and responded to the video via Instagram and Twitter.

Grande also posted it on her Instagram Story, responding with, “i'm not okay in any way shape or form”.

And there you have it, folks! That’s the secret to giving Ariana Grande the best birthday present imaginable. We love you, Ariana, from the bottom of our Bikini Bottom hearts and we hope you had the birthday of your dreams!

SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout airs tonight at 7pm on Nickelodeon!
