While Ariana exposes a lot about herself, there are some things that even her most die-hard fans are totally in the dark about.

Ariana Grande stunned the world when she showcased her soulful vocal talent with her debut album, Yours Truly. She went from ditzy Cat Valentine to an artist who instantly got compared to legends such as Mariah Carey in vocal ability and R&B style music.

Her second album, My Everything, is where she really started to gain momentum in her career, releasing smash after smash. Her third album, Dangerous Woman, often regarded as her best album among fans, furthered her success but commercially fell short in some areas. This was also an era where a tragedy struck Ariana and her fans with the Manchester attack.

The artist took a break from music and returned as a force to be reckoned with Sweetener. It shot straight up the charts and was a very different direction for Ariana, becoming the tipping point of her most successful era, leading up to her fifth album Thank U, Next which came only after a few months Sweetener was released.

Ariana achieved her first number-one hit with Thank U, Next, and her second number-one hit with 7 Rings. Her last album, Positions, did pretty well in the music charts. As fans can’t get enough of this pop icon, here is her actual height and other lesser-known facts about Ariana Grande.

Ariana Grande’s Height Is Confusing

Ariana Grande is 5-foot 3-inches tall, but she seems taller thanks to high heels and the way she poses on red carpets making an angular silhouette that creates the illusion of length. In an interview with the Zach Sang Show, when Grande was asked why she always chooses to perform in such high heels, the singer replied, “I don’t have a choice. I’m, like, 5…5. I’m just five. Nah, I’m 5’2.” Ariana has a great sense of humor, and she usually likes to joke about her height. The singer may be small in stature, but her impact is anything but that.

Ariana Grande Never Actually Had Any Formal Vocal Training

Unlike other pop icons like Britney Spears, Ariana never attended a music school. In fact, she didn’t have any professional vocal lessons. All she had was a fantastic voice and an in-depth passion.

That beautiful tone and incredible range are just hers only. The singer was brave enough to cut off her acting career for something she was strongly passionate about. Ariana left the Nickelodeon series for her passion for music.

Ariana Grande Has A Thing For Horror Movies

It’s safe to say that the superstar loves horror movies. But how deep is her admiration toward this genre? She has a big obsession with scary things. One of her favorites is American Horror Story. Ariana’s mom, Joan, has already revealed that the singer has had an obsession with scary things since she was a child.

Instead of Looney Tunes or anything related to Barbie, Jaws was Ariana’s favorite childhood movie. Joan recalls throwing a Jaws-themed birthday party for Ariana when she was just a little kid.

Ariana Grande Is Scared Of Heights

Her custom Dumbledore jacket, for instance, shows her love for the series. Everybody around the star knows her affection towards the magical world of Hogwarts. One year, her friends made a Harry Potter-themed party for one of her birthdays. And if those facts weren’t convincing enough, she also named one of her dogs Sirius Black.

Ariana Grande Is Vegan

In an interview, Ariana claimed that she loves animals more than humans, and therefore, being a vegan is not surprising news for people who know her well. Ariana is now living on an entirely plant-based diet. Veggies, fruits, and salads are her main courses. Being compassionate and healthy while maintaining her slim figure it’s a win-win solution.

Ariana Grande Is A Strong Believer In Kabbalah

The artist had her reasons for choosing this belief, but mainly she found a deep spiritual connection in it. Ariana admitted that Kabbalah has helped unfold her life in some beautiful ways.
