00:00Ariana Grande just proved she was truly born to be a star.
00:09The pop princess celebrated her 31st birthday on June 26th with an adorable video of herself
00:15singing and dancing as a child.
00:17In the throwback clip, she belts songs and shows off some of her moves.
00:21At one point in the background, you hear a woman, more than likely either her mom, Joan
00:25Grande, or her beloved Nona, encouraging her to sing Celine Dion.
00:55And she would grow up to do just that.
01:07Family and friends celebrated the Eternal Sunshine singer on her special day.
01:11She got a lot of love from her Wicked family.
01:14Co-star Cynthia Eriva re-shared the cute clip of Ariana writing,
01:18Happy birthday to this beautiful being.
01:20What a joy it is that you are in the world.
01:22So much love and joy on this day for you.
01:25She couldn't help but celebrate her in another post, sharing a picture showing the pair on
01:30the set of Wicked.
01:31Ariana dressed as Glinda and Cynthia as Elphaba on that post, writing,
01:36Once more with feeling.
01:37Ariana Grande, happy birthday, my darling.
01:40Wicked director John Chu also shouted out the Grammy-winning singer, sharing a behind-the-scenes
01:44picture of Ari in costume.
01:47The image shows Ariana placing a figurine of her character in a bubble atop a three-tier
01:51pink cake.
01:53Chu's message read,
01:54Happy birthday, Ariana Grande.
01:56You are loved by many.
01:57This is going to be a wild year ahead.
02:00And 31 will be a massive year for the star with the premiere of Wicked just five months
02:05away.
02:06Even the movie's Instagram page wished its good witch a happy birthday with a picture
02:10of her in costume.
02:12Her real-life family also celebrated the pop star.
02:15Frankie Grande shared this image and wrote in the caption, in part,
02:19Happy birthday to the most beautiful, amazing, talented, and most importantly, kind sister
02:24in the entire universe.
02:26And the pop star's dad, Ed Butera, posted another throwback of Ari, although this one
02:31was photoshopped, the image of a young Ariana in a Florida Panthers jersey atop an NHL Stanley
02:37Cup Champions trophy.
02:38Ariana, of course, is a big fan of the hockey team recently spotted at some of their games,
02:44and her history with the team is an important one.
02:47The singer's first big gig ever was performing the National Anthem at a Panthers game at
02:52just eight years old.
02:53My Nona actually saw the ad in the newspaper to sing the National Anthem at the Panthers
02:59game and she took me for my audition.
03:01So no one was very supportive.
03:02Right, and you were like, were you eight or nine then?
03:04I think I was eight.
03:05Yeah.
03:06Wow.
03:07That was really fun.
03:08So that was your first, was that your first audition and first performance?
03:09I think, um, I think that was my first public performance.
03:13Yeah.
03:14I was eight.
03:15I don't know what I would have done before other than like playing the bumblebee in my
03:18school play, which I did.
03:19Do you recall either afterward feeling that I want more of this?
03:27Do you, were you just like, yeah, you know, like, I'm, I'm wondering if you have any core
03:30memories there.
03:31Um, I think I didn't have much of a relationship to the song at the time.
03:36I think I was eight and I was like, these are the words, just sing them.
03:39Just perform it.
03:40You know, like, like you got, you got off the stage or the ice or whatever.
03:42I loved it.
03:43I was just so happy and proud.
03:45And the funniest thing about that video to me is how I'm like, A, I feel like I look
03:51exactly the same as I do in that video, like that's exactly still everything.
03:55I didn't even know there's a video.
03:56There's a video.
03:57It's really funny because when I'm done, the way I whip my head and walk away is too crazy.
04:03It's a little too much.
04:04I liked it a little too much back then.
04:06It was really funny.
04:07I loved it.
04:08I had so much fun.
04:09Let's do it again.
