Ariana Grande is all for self-love as she marks her 30th birthday with a sweet throwback photo from her childhood. Ariana has grown up in the public eye, making a name for herself as the innocent, red-haired Kat in the Nickelodeon series Victorious and Sam and Kat. She wound up branching into music and has since become a huge success. Despite witnessing her grow up in front of the cameras, she doesn’t look to have aged a day, even with her switch-up from the red-haired Kat to the blond ponytailed singer. While many deem this an admirable trait, it has also made Ariana subject to body-shaming, even from celebs like Wendy Williams.
