10 Ariana Grande Facts That Are Totally Strange

Ariana Grande has wowed the music world with her talent, and rightly so, but there are also some very strange facts about the singer that will wow fans everywhere. There is certainly a very twisted and weird side to this celebrity. Take a look at these ten strange facts about Ariana Grande that might just blow you away.

1. Us Weekly reports that horror is everything to Ariana Grande, so much so that she is obsessed with horror movies, and when she was a kid, would wear Halloween masks around the house. She says her mother thought she would grow up to be a serial killer.

“I wish every day were Halloween. I have had a sick obsession with horror movies since I was little. My mom thought I’d grow up to be a serial killer because I wore Halloween masks around the house.”

2. VH1 reports that when Ariana Grande, who is a complete hockey fanatic, was 8-years-old, she sang the national anthem at a Florida Panthers hockey game.

3. There was a time when Ariana Grande had a demonic experience, when she visited the Stull Cemetery in Kansas City.

“I felt this sick, overwhelming feeling of negativity over the whole car and we smelled sulfur, which is the sign of a demon… I was like, ‘This is scary, let’s leave.’ I rolled down the window before we left and said, ‘We apologize. We didn’t mean to disrupt your peace.’ Then I took a picture and there are three super distinct faces in the picture—they’re faces of textbook demons.”

4. BoomsBeat reveals that the iconic ponytail Ariana Grande wears all the time is actually a trick to cover up hair loss, which resulted from dying her hair so much for her role in Victorious.

“I had to bleach my hair and dye it red every other week for the first four years.”

5. A lot of the inspiration for Ariana Grande comes not from contemporary artists, but artists from the 50s and 60s.

“My favorite era was the ’50s and ’60s… the Chiffons, the Shangri-Las. 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.”

6. Grande loves baking and gardening, which are not traits her mother gave her.

“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.”

7. Ariana Grande left behind her Roman Catholic religion after Pope Benedict said working women and homosexuals were sinners.

“I lost faith when the Pope decided to tell me that everything I loved and believed in was wrong. I needed something else to believe in.”

8. Despite her keen fashion sense, she really mainly cares about the music.

“I don’t feel confident in my sexuality — or in my fashion, It’s just not in my mind. I think of music first.”

9. Ariana Grande sleeps naked – thanks to the encouragement of her grandmother! She loves her nonna.

10. According to Cosmopolitan, Ariana Grande loves wearing heels so much that when she isn’t wearing them she goes “en releve,” which her boyfriend told her literally means “on tippy-toes.” Apparently, Grande loves to walk like she’s wearing heels, whether she’s wearing them or not!
