Here’s How Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, SZA, Selena Gomez & Lizzo Celebrated Their Moms This Mother’s Day

Where would music be without the mothers of today’s biggest stars? Thanks to the moms of Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish and more stars, we’ll never have to know.

And to celebrate Mother’s Day this year, both the Wicked star and “Lunch” singer joined several other musicians in publicly honoring the women that gave them life Sunday (May 11). On Instagram Stories, Grande posted two old photos of her childhood self with her mom, Joan Grande, and wrote, “My brilliant, beautiful mama.”

“I love you endlessly and always,” added the “Yes, And?” singer.

For Eilish’s part, the nine-time Grammy winner shared a video of her mom, Maggie Baird, and wrote on her Story, “best mom in the world.” “You are so pretty,” Eilish tells the climate activist in the clip as they stand outside, to which Baird sweetly replies, “I love you.”

In addition to celebrating her own mom, Mandy Teefey, Selena Gomez posted a photo of herself with fiancé Benny Blanco and his mom, as well as a snap of the Rare Beauty founder’s cousin Priscilla with her family. “Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while.. but their hearts forever and ever,” Gomez wrote on Instagram. “One of my favorites. And I love all the mothers in my life.”

Other stars who showered their mothers with love on social media this holiday include Lizzo — who shared two Instagram snaps with mom Shari and wrote, “I HAVE THEE FINEST MAMA IN THE GAME” — while SZA reshared photos of mom Audrey from a fan account on her Story and gushed, “My beautiful mommyyy ugh …”

Plus, Justin Bieber posted a couple throwback photos from his childhood with his mom, Pattie Mallette, while Miley Cyrus’ mom, Tish, got a big bouquet of pink flowers from youngest daughter Noah Cyrus in a clip posted by the “July” singer on TikTok.

As the stars who spotlighted their moms on social media well know, their lives and careers would not be possible without the women who raised them. A few of those ladies have opened up this past year about the challenges of raising future celebrities, with Teefey and Baird joining Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, as well as Donna Kelce, mother of Travis and Jason Kelce, in talking about the subject for a mom-themed issue of Glamour in October.

“My husband and I are working class actors,” Baird told the publication at the time of raising Eilish and producer FINNEAS. “We eked out a meager living, and it afforded us a lot of time with our kids, which was awesome. But the industry is primarily people like us or even people not even like us who couldn’t even do that. So when all of this happened to our kids, we’d never been on that side of it.”

“We had some moments where I was like, ‘Listen, they can pick up their own suitcases,’” added Knowles, who was crowned Billboard‘s Mother of the Year at the 2025 Women in Music ceremony. “’You look people in the eye, say hello, don’t turn into a diva. That’s not going to work here.’ You have to teach your kids that … because everybody’s trying to handle everything for them and kissing their butts sometimes. And I am like, ‘No, no, no, you’re not helpless.’”
