I'm a grown-ass married woman. I plan meals and put them on a shared family calendar. I contribute up to the match on my 401K. Ariana Grande is for an entirely different demo. One that doesn't find her cat ears so off-putting.
But folks, Ariana Grande has gone and DONE IT. Here are 8 reasons I now love Ariana Grande:
1. Here she is singing “I Have Nothing," atop a grand piano. David Foster is accompanying her, and she is hitting every note like a GODDESS.
2. Pack it in, haters. Ariana Grande is a GD pro. At this moment, Whitney Houston is looking down on all of us from Heaven and blessing us. Wait. We should probably just watch it again, so we all get how great it is.
3. WHAT?! Girl, you better SING. I understand you now, Ariana Grande. The cat ears, Nickelodeon, the whole thing. OK. Here's Ariana doing an entirely different song—no wait. Nope, I've got hear her sing this song again.
4. Here's an entirely different reason why I now like Ariana Grande. Sorry. Let's just watch this video one more time.
5. YAAAAAAS QUEEN.
6. "Don't walk away from me / I have nothing, nothing, nothing / Don't make me cloooooossseee one more door, I don't wanna' hurt anymore..."
7. OK, I promise I won't post that video anymore. Instead, I'll show you the excellent video for Bang Bang featuring her, Jessie J and Nicki Minaj.
8. Nevermind, I lied.
