As the opener for the night, the 21-year-old “Problem” songstress is equal parts thrilled and terrified about the gig.
Grande told Entertainment Tonight, "I'm super anxious before these kinds of things because it's so nerve wracking. I'm still not the best on the red carpet. That is still something that I'm working on, but I'm not as anxious anymore."
As for the paparazzi, "They're so much nicer to me now, but [the Grammys] was so crazy. Somebody started a rumor that I was crying on the red carpet, but I wasn't."
Furthermore, Ariana is looking forward to seeing her “Bang Bang” buddies Jessie J and Nicki Minaj. "I love [Nicki's] personality. I love Jesse's personality. They're both so full out with feeling. I love them so much. Jesse is always singing, which is my favorite thing because so am I, and Nicki is hilarious. I love her. She's so sassy."
