She had a supernatural experience
While
in Kansas City for a performance, Grande and her band decided to go
to Stull Cemetery, which is considered in some circles as one of the
seven gates to Hell on Earth. There, she had what she
described to Complex as
a demonic experience.
After feeling "sick" and seeing "signs" of
demonic presence, Grande "took a picture and there are three
super-distinct faces in the picture — they're faces of textbook
demons." Before she deleted the pictures, she heard strange
noises and whispers and even saw a black mass in her bedroom at
night.

She's more Streisand than Cyrus
Unlike
her hypersexual pop music peer, Miley Cyrus, Grande favors being a
bit more demure. "I like Barbra Streisand, and when was the last
time you saw Babs getting, like, turnt up? That's kind of the road
that I, as a lady, would like to go down," she
told Cosmopolitan.
She has openly admitted she's "not comfortable enough to be
forwardly sexual."
3.
She's "obsessed" with Harry
Potter
Actually,
Grande is admittedly "a big nerd." Of her hobbies outside
of music, the starlet told Complex,
"I love Lord
of the Rings.
I love Harry
Potter.
I love scary movies. I love dinosaurs, science, aliens, ghosts."
She considers herself an old soul, noting that ideal evenings for her
involve hanging out in her PJs, singing and watching Harry
Potter.
Unlike her friends who are partyers, Grande "never really
clicked with that."
4.
Her nonna taught her how to deal with haters
Like
most young celebrities, Grande often has to endure taunts from
detractors, particularly on Twitter. "Oh, they're evil as hell!"
she laughed in an interview with Cosmopolitan.
But she doesn't let it get her down, thanks to some advice she got
from her grandmother. "I said, 'Nonna, how do you deal with the
jealous ladies at the home where you live?' And she said, 'I don't
blame them. I'd be jealous too.'"
5.
She's a reformed Italian eater
Coming
from a "stereotypical poker-playing, loud, friendly,
food-shoving, loving Italian family," Grande consumed more than
her fair share of carbs growing up, but not anymore. "When I was
a kid, I was raised to believe a bowl of pasta was healthy and good
for you," she explained. "Then I was like, 'Wow, I've been
killing myself all these years.'" Now, she says, she only eats
"salmon, vegetables and fruits — super-healthy."
6.
She's got Miley's back
She
may not have much in common with Cyrus personally or professionally,
but that doesn't mean she agrees with all
of the Miley backlash.
"Miley looks like she is having the time of her life, and I
think anybody who's giving her a hard time is wishing deep down they
were having as much fun as she is right now," Grande said.
"People are being so cruel. I think that's bullying, and she
should do whatever the hell she wants."
7.
There's a method to her social media madness
Grande
is known as a social media maven, often interacting with her fans
through Twitter and Instagram. But the pop star has certain rules
when it comes to these outlets. A major don't? "Not too many
selfies," she told Glamour.
"Space them out — you have to wait a few days in between
selfies." She does, however, encourage making your Instagram
"look cohesive" and "clean and precise."
8.
Her musical inspirations span about six decades
Grande
definitely counts some contemporary artists among her musical role
models — like India.Arie, Imogen Heap and Frank Ocean — but
much of her inspiration also comes from decades past. "My
favorite era was the '50s and '60s… the Chiffons, the Shangri-Las,"
she revealed to The
Guardian.
"My grandparents played it and I fell in love with it, because
it was more about romance and love, and less about getting drunk and
going home with someone you don't know."
9.
Justin Bieber's manager hooked her up with her ex-boyfriend
Grande
is totally open with her fans, so she didn't have any qualms about
revealing her relationship with Nathan Sykes of The Wanted via social
media. But how did she meet the boy band cutie who, despite being
broken up, still
holds her in high regard?
They met when Sykes was "headhunted" by Scooter Braun —
Grande's manager who is, perhaps, most famously the manager
responsible for Justin Bieber.
10.
Her domesticity was not inherited
Grande,
who loves baking and gardening, says she definitely didn't get her
homemaker traits from her mother. "My mom is a CEO and owns a
company that manufactures communications equipment for the Marines
and the Navy, so she's not really the housewife type, if you get what
I'm saying. She's the most bada**, independent woman you'll ever meet
— not the cookies-in-the-oven type."
