Have you ever stumbled upon an old video of yourself and thought, "Wow, I can't believe that was me!"? Well, that's exactly what happened to Ariana Grande when a fan page on Instagram shared a throwback video of the singer at just 14 years old. In the video, Ariana is seen belting out a song from the popular Broadway musical, Wicked, and let's just say, her talent was evident even at a young age.
Ariana, who is now 31, has been in the spotlight for quite some time. She first captured our hearts with her roles on Nickelodeon shows like Victorious and Sam and Cat when she was just a teenager. Since then, she has become a successful pop singer and is now known for her role as Glinda the Good Witch in the film adaptation of Wicked.
As the film has been receiving a lot of buzz and even Oscar nominations, fans were treated to this adorable throwback video of Ariana showing off her love for the musical. The video, posted by Voices of Gold, features a split-screen of Ariana singing "The Wizard and I" at 14 years old and her performance alongside Cynthia Erivo in the film. The caption reads, "At 14 years old, Ariana Grande was already dreaming of Oz, singing 'The Wizard and I' like she was meant to be there. Fast forward 17 years - now 31 - she's officially Glinda in the Wicked movie, soaring through 'Defying Gravity' with Cynthia Erivo. Talk about a glow-up worthy of the Emerald City!"
The post received a lot of attention, including a reply from Ariana herself in the form of two emojis - one with tears and a heart - which was liked by over 10,000 fans. It's no surprise that Ariana has a huge following, as evidenced by the emotional reactions from fans who were moved by the video.
One fan commented, "Such a full-circle moment for her," while another fan said, "I don't care what anyone says: Glinda was written in the stars for Ari! I'm beyond proud of her!" Others couldn't help but gush over Ariana's talent then and now, with one fan saying, "Beautiful voice then and now!" and another commenting, "HER BABY FACE OMG THE CUTEST!"
Aside from her incredible talent, Ariana has also been praised for her generosity and kindness. In a recent act of giving back, the singer donated gifts to a Manchester children's charity, seven years after the terror attack that occurred at her concert. The charity expressed their gratitude on social media, saying, "Thank you Ariana Grande! We are so grateful to Ariana for thinking of our young patients this Christmas. The gifts she has donated are being distributed to babies, children and teenagers across different hospitals."
It's clear that Ariana's kindness and talent have left a lasting impact on her fans and the world. And as she continues to reach new heights in her career, we can't help but feel proud of her "full-circle moment" and emotional about our own life goals.
