Marie Claire cover
Grande appears on the cover of the October 2014 issue of Marie Claire magazine. She talks about early ambitions, hiding behind her Nickelodeon character, and her first single not doing well.

I made the point I wanted to make. And I was excited to do so after so many years of pretending to be somebody else in front of a lot of people.
