Ariana Grande: The Highs And Major Lows Of Her Career So Far 

Ariana Grande is currently one of the biggest stars in the world - however, over the past year we\'ve seen a massive change in the pint-sized popstar. She literally went from being all sweet and innocent, always wearing her hair in a high ponytail and gracing those red carpets in her flowery dresses, to hitting the stage in barely there outfits and being accused of being one of the biggest divas in the showbiz world right now. So, what on earth happened? 

Cast your mind back to January 2014 - it may not have even been a year ago yet, but this was when Ariana was still dressing like a little girl, not that there was anything wrong with that obvs. She attended the Grammy Awards, wearing a floral dress and her hair up in a high, curly pony. However, despite her smiling for paps, it was later revealed that she\'d burst into tears backstage, with rumours suggesting that she had read some nasty comments about her look on Twitter. She then felt the need to take to Facebook to post a lengthy message about the fact that her hair had fallen out and she now had to wear extensions. So, was it this that made Ariana change her appearance? Has she now become a bit of a "diva" because of the comments that were made at the start of the year?

This was also around the same time that she split from The Wanted\'s Nathan Sykes and by the time she released the summer anthem Problem, we were seeing a

new her. One that even left her trousers at home every so often, hitting the stage in just her knee high white boots and oversized jumpers.

It\'s been a crazy year for Ari, check out some of the drama that she\'s had to deal with since her big transformation...

- A load of issues with Sam & Cat co-star Jennette McCurdy

Ariana and Jennette previously worked together on the Nickelodeon series Sam & Cat, but things soon got nasty when rumours emerged that Grande was earning quite a bit more than Jennette. Jennette then posted a lengthy rant about a friend who was a "bad influence." She\'s even basically created a new webseries entirely dedicated to Ariana, called What\'s Next For Sarah? that\'s about a girl who has a ponytail, who plays a former child star who has just been fired from her show and dumped by her boyfriend.

There seem to have been a lot of stars voicing their opinions on Ariana recently. Miley Cyrus basically said that she needed to sex up her innocent image a bit by hanging out with her and Mariah Carey hinted that she\'d never be her, despite people comparing the pair. There was also quite a bit of beef between Grande and her co-star Victoria Justice. Ari pretty much blamed Justice for Nickelodeon show Victorious being cancelled, with her accusing her of wanting to do solo tour instead. Despite not naming any names, Victoria hit back by accusing that myserious person of \'throwing someone under a bus to make themselves look good.\' Ouch! This went on for...quite a while, anyway. Check out more celebs that have dissed the star here.

- Fast forward to the end of this year when a dad\'s blog post started lots of diva rumours

When a dad wrote about the time his daughter won a meet and greet and Ariana was not so friendly, it went viral and caused a lot of drama. In his post he said: "She never bothered to even ask anyone their name. She didn’t inquire as to who the contest winners were, as opposed to their guests, or what they created to win the right to meet her." Read the rest of it here. It\'s since spurred

diva source stories, as well as more celebs butting their noses in. Bette Midler was amongst those to recently diss Grande, with her basically saying that she\'s acting slutty on stage to try and get people to like her. E! News star Giuliana Rancic also pretty much confirmed the diva claims, saying that Ariana wants to be a "young diva-like Mariah."

Not only have rumours suggested that Ariana is a nightmare to work with, but according to news.com.au, she also issued a ridiculous amount of demands on a recent Australia promo tour, before cancelling the entire trip in the end. Eek. More info here. Ariana has since denied the claims (again), but can someone have

Whether it\'s true or not though, despite the constant negative comments just continuing to roll in, Ariana has always been one to not take the criticism lying down and has continued to insist to her fans that none of it is true. Diva schmiva rumours, Grande has ALWAYS put her fans first and tells them that she loves them every day. She even sends them long DMs like this:

So, are people just determined to bring her down? Lately, the lows seem to have unfortunately outweighed the highs - but, you can\'t forget that she\'s had some amazing achievements over the past year or so, alone.

Despite only having one top ten hit to her name when she released debut album Yours Truly, she still managed to shift 138k copies in the first week of September 2nd 2013. Her second album My Everything was released on August 25th 2014, and this also shot to the top of the charts, shifting 169k copies in its opening week. The last woman to see her debut and sophomore albums both debut at number one was BGT-turned-internet sensation Susan Boyle.

As well as performing at the likes of the EMAs, VMAs and the Victoria\'s Secret Show in London this year, Ariana has also bagged countless awards including the Best Song and Best Female at this year\'s EMAs, the Best Pop video at this year\'s VMAs, Teen Choice Awards for her amazing-ness...and the list goes on.

And with her success just seeming to continue, does this mean that she\'ll eventually be able to forget the criticism and just concentrate on the music? We\'re not sure, but either way, we LOVE Ariana here at EntertainmentWise and definitely think that she should be left to do what she does best...show off that amazing voice, whether she\'s scantily clad whilst singing the songs, or not. Agreed?
