* BreakthroughHit: The Way.
* CreatorBacklash: She admittted in an interview in March 2013 that she "hated" the direction taken with her first (less succesful) single, ''Put Your Hearts Up'', as she felt it was aimed at the teenage fans who would have watched her in ''Victorious'', while she wanted her music to be for more mature people. In particular, she spoke out against the video. ''The Way'' can be seen as a reboot of her career.

It peaked a No. 9, and currently is behind ''Suit & Tie'' by Justin Timberlake featuring Jay Z and Music/OneDirection's ''Best Song Ever'' as the third highest first-week sales figures.

!! This actress' work provides examples of:
* AdoredByTheNetwork: Arguably one of the reasons why ''SamAndCat'' even exists in the first place (the other being JennetteMcCurdy)
* {{Adorkable}}: {{Victorious}} Cat is a good acting example, but really — just watch any video she's in — she'll probably do something Adorkable before it's over.
* BreakthroughHit: The Way.
* TheCutie
* DisproportionateRetribution: In her song with Mika, ''Popular Song'', Ariana turns Mika into a statue because he knocked over a block tower she made when they were children. ''Long'' time to hold a grudge.
* DyeingForYourArt: Dyed her hair red for Cat. And dark black for a correspondingly dark & gothic video clip.
* HotterAndSexier: The Way, her song with Mac Miller. It earned comparisons to Mariah Carey.
* MelismaticVocals
* MsFanservice: Like all the girls of ''Victorious''.
* PetitePride: After tweeting a picture of Cat's excessive bra wardrobe including the 32A tag, she obtained — and accepted — the nickname Boobiana Petite.
* RoseHairedGirl: Her red hair right now.
* SelfBackingVocalist: In her singing videos.
* ShesGotLegs
* SpiritualSuccessor: In terms of her singing prowess, to Music/MariahCarey.
* StageName: Grande is only part of her real last name [[hottip:*:Her real last name is Grande-Butera]].
* AWildRapperAppears: Mac Miller in "The Way".
* WomanOfAThousandVoices: She has several videos of her doing impressions, among those being Music/{{Shakira}} and JudyGarland. Also, she's a voice actress. There's also the changing the pitch of her voice to play Cat Valentine.
