Ariana Grande is an American musician and actress. She is of Italian descent. And she actually came into the public spotlight portraying Cat Valentine on a couple of Nickelodeon television shows (“Victorious” and “Sam & Cat”) in the early 2010s.

However, in the years that followed, she has become hands-down one of the most-successful musicians in the world. For instance, as of 2020, four of her first five albums have topped the Billboard 200, with the odd man out still peaking at number 2. And between 2013 and 2020, approximately 20 songs she personally headlined have been certified Platinum or better by the RIAA.

Indeed as of mid-2020, Grande possesses the second most-followed Instagram account in existence, which boasts of approximately 200,000,000 followers.
