She worked her way up the hard way.
That same year, Grande got another big break.
Cat’s character was a lot of fun and introduced us to Grande’s silly side.

She addressed the issue in a2014 Facebook post.
“I now wear a wig on Sam & Cat.
I tried wigs, they looked RIDICULOUS.

IT’S JUST HAIR AFTER ALL.
There are way, way, way more important things.
Love y’all very much.”

Grande was as amazed as anyone that her high ponytail became a major trend and her signature.
“It’s how I like my hair.
It’s how I’ve always liked my hair,” she toldByrdie Magazinein 2016.

“Picture me in fourth grade with a little half-up side-pony flopping around my head.
I never expected it to become such a thing.
“Every time I put my hair up, it’s like a surprise.

Ooh, girl!'
Every time I tie it up is like the first time.
It’s like true love.”
In 2018, she was still singing the praises of the ponytail.
“The pony has also gone through an evolution, and I’m proud of that.
I don’t know if she’s that girl,” she toldFader.
“But new pony?
I mean, it’s like a Victoria Secret angel without angel wings.
Ariana even wrote a song about her hair on her album, “Positions”.
