Ariana on Cosmopolitan – Singer Ariana Grande lands the February cover of Cosmopolitan US, looking sweet and sexy in looks photographed by Matt Jones. At the age of 20, Ariana is known for her hit single “The Way” and opens up to the magazine about being a role model for young girls, dating Nathan Sykes and making a name for herself in the industry. The new issue of Cosmopolitan hits stores on January 7th.
On being a positive role model:
āI think Iām an old soul. What excites younger people doesnāt excite meā¦ Iām kind of a boring, normal girl who likes Harry Potter and to sit in her pajamas and sing. A lot of my friends are partiers, but Iāve never really clicked with that. I like Barbra Streisand, and when was the last time you saw Babs getting, like, turnt up? Thatās kind of the road that I, as a lady, would like to go down.ā
On dealing with Twitter haters:
“Oh, theyāre evil as hell! I donāt even block them anymore, because I feel like itās giving them negativity in return. So I just let it happen and forgive them and move on. Those people are fighting their own battles.”
On making a name for herself in the music industry:
āI never really expected to be taken seriously as an artist, and itās just been the ultimate, proudest achievement. Iāve dealt with a lot of people not knowing what to expect from me because of my age and my personality. People often mistake my kindness for weakness, and they didnāt expect much from me, because at the end of the day, Iām just a nice Italian girl from Boca.ā
