Zack Sharf Digital News Director Ariana Grande is the guest on the most recent episode of the “Podcrushed” podcast — co-hosted by her “The Boy Is Mine” music video star Penn Badgley — and opens up about her relationship to child stardom.
The Grammy winner was a young teenager when her fame exploded, thanks to a series regular role on the Nickelodeon show “Victorious,” which aired for four seasons between 2010 and 2013.
Grande reprised her role of Cat Valentine on the spinoff “Sam & Cat,” which ran for 35 episodes. “I was 14 and I flew out to audition with Liz Gillies for ‘Victorious,’ and we were all very excited and we got cast and it was the best news we could hear,” Grande says on “Podcrushed.” “We were young performers who just wanted to do this with our lives more than anything, and we got to and that was so beautiful.
I think we had some very special memories, and we feel so privileged to have been able to create those roles and be a part of something that was so special for a lot of young kids.” While clearly grateful for the experience of getting to work on “Victorious,” Grande says that she is “reprocessing [my] relationship to it a little bit now, if that makes sense.” Neither Grande nor the “Podcrushed” hosts — Badgley, Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari — bring up “Victorious” creator Dan Schneider by name, nor the recent Investigation Discovery documentary sensation “Quiet on Set,” which includes many allegations of misconduct against Schneider from his tenure at Nickelodeon.
