Most people know Ariana Grande as a multi-talented actress and Grammy-nominated music phenomenon. She regularly sells out concert arenas around the world and with nearly 30 million Twitter followers, Ariana is one of the few superstars to qualify for entertainment’s A+ List.

Her latest album, My Everything, has become an international sensation and spawned five smash singles to date — putting her in a league with Michael Jackson and Katy Perry.

As Republic Records Executive Vice President Charlie Walk explains:

“The way you get five hits is to have five strong songs that could all be first singles.”

Of course, there are many, MANY more reasons to love Ariana than just her talent. While we could make an indefinite list, we’ve chosen 13 of our favorites and posted them below.

Take a look.

After watching the documentary Blackfish in 2013, Ariana tweeted that she will never go to SeaWorld again. Soon after, she announced that she is becoming 100% vegan.

We think it’s terrific that Ariana’s stance is making a difference in how animals are treated throughout the world.

If every other young pop star could auto-tune their voice to sound like Ariana’s, they’d have a storied career. Some people have called Ariana the next Mariah Carey… We think she’s better. Her powerful voice is THAT good.
