Ariana Grande might be a super successful pop star now, with hits like '7 Rings' and 'No Tears Left To Cry', but before she was famous, she was a super cute little girl! Fans of Ariana Grande were delighted yesterday when the pop star posted a short video of herself as a little girl wearing a pink dress and matching hairband.
In the video, Ariana can be seen getting very excited about the weather! "Isn’t it wonderful?" Ariana's mum can be heard saying, as Ariana replies, "Yeah, the sun is shining out so bright, look!" Cute!
In just a day, Ariana's video has racked up over 1.5 million likes on Instagram and attracted thousands of comments, including some from celebrities, with pop star Charlie Puth saying, 'So cute'.
Another fan commented, 'Omg that girll !!!!😍😍😭❤️❤️❤️' [sic], with one more saying, 'You were always destined for greatness. Ily💗'.

Back in the world of music, Ariana has already released two songs this year, '7 Rings' and 'Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored'. It was recently revealed that she will have to pay 90% of her earnings from '7 Rings', because the single features a sample of 'My Favourite Things', a song written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for The Sound Of Music film in 1959.
According to reports, Ariana Grande's record label signed a deal with Concord, the company who owns Rodgers and Hammerstein's music - despite the songwriters passing away in 1959 and 1970. The New York Times reported that the two companies agreed on a 90% royalties fee.
Now take a look at Ariana's transformation from teenage TV star to worldwide pop sensation:
