5 things you didnt know about... Ariana Grande

5 things you didnt know about... Ariana Grande Captured by : she- mast

Despite her four-octave range, Grande has had no formal vocal training. Music just kind of happened to her. Her career, however, got a major boost only after she signed with Justin Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun. She is the first female artist to have her first two albums debut at No. 1 since 2010 including Yours Truly (2013) and My Everything (2014). The last person to achieve this feat was Queen .

She loves Halloween and has been infatuated with horror movies since she was younger. While in Kansas City for a performance, Grande and her band visited Stull Cemetery, considered to be one of the seven gates to Hell on Earth. There, she had what she described as a demonic experience. After feeling "sick" and seeing "signs" of demonic presence, Grande "took a picture and there are three super-distinct faces in the picture ” faces of textbook demons." Before she deleted the pictures, she heard strange noises and whispers and even saw a black mass in her bedroom at night.

She is a vegetarian who firmly believes in eating a full “plant-based” diet and pretty much sticks to veggies, fruit, and salad. No meat whatsoever, no dairy products, not even eggs. Why? Because she claims to love animals more than humans.

Grande loves baking and gardening, but claims she didn't get her homemaker traits from her mother. Her mom is a CEO and owns a company that manufactures communications equipment for the Marines and the Navy, so she's not really the housewife cookies-in-the-oven type.

The singer began to question the tenets of her faith when her half-brother, Frankie (also a successful musical theater performer) was told that God didn’t love him because he was gay. Her spiritual exploration eventually led her to Kabbalah which sort of stuck with her.

It's always a good idea to take a break from the daily routine of work and try out something new. Who knows, you may discover a new talent in the process just as Lizia Pinto did a few years ago. “I had done my graduation in commerce and was working in administration for for two years. However as I was bored, I decided to try my hand at baking on the side,” she recalls. Her first trial though, she admits, was an absolute failure. “ I decided to try making brownies but I…
