Ariana Grande – Victorious
Ariana Grande is now a pop music icon, but she started as a 13-year-old Nickelodeon star. Playing the role of Cat Valentine on the popular series Victorious, she spent four years combining her on-screen career with her music.

After the show was canceled in 2013, Nickelodeon rebranded her character as Sam & Cat, alongside fellow Nickelodeon alum Jennette McCurdy. That series lasted one season, and then Ariana went on to make her mark in the music worldโand what a mark she’s made!
