Ariana Grande-Butera (b. 1993) is an American singer, actress, and all around awesome performer. Prior to becoming a pop icon with hits like "Problem," "Breathin'," "Dangerous Woman," "Thank U, Next" and "No Tears Left to Cry" (to name just a few), she was best known for her roles in Victorious and 13. Has spawned a mini-version of Chuck Norris facts, as noted above. Has a Youtube and Twitter account, where she shows off her musical talent. She also does a UStream every Friday. Her ability to reach the whistle register flawlessly has earned her comparisons to Mariah Carey.
Compare Liz Gillies.
