Ariana Grande: "A year-and-a-half ago I was wearing a red wig, pretending to be a silly 15-year-old on TV"

Ariana Grande has been thinking about her highlights of 2014.

When considering how far she has progressed from playing the role of Cat Valentine in Nickelodeon TV series ‘Victorious’ and ‘Sam & Cat’ to being a Grammy-nominated singer, Ariana reflected:

“A year-and-a-half ago I was wearing a red wig, pretending to be a silly 15-year-old on a television show.”

Listing her top five moments of the year, Grande stated to Billboard:

"Performing on the [MTV Video Music Awards] with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj. Putting out 'Problem.' Spending half of June and most of July with my family in Florida. And, um, [boyfriend Big] Sean."

Ariana Grande is nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for ‘Bang Bang’ at the 2015 Grammys.

Reacting to her Grammy nominations on Twitter, Ariana wrote: "at a loss for words. 2 Grammy noms. thankful to even be considered. my heart is exploding, can't process it. this means the most. so honored". 

The ‘Break Free’ star will receive the Billboard Women in Music Rising Star Award on December 12.
