Ariana Grande! (We're Obsessed Too)

Newly gracing the cover of Cosmo, magazine editors sum it up best with the simple title "we're obsessed!" This super star known for the "dumb girl" on "Victorious" experienced her breakout year plastered on the covers of Seventeen magazine, Cosmo, GL, and even Teen vogue (you betta slay Ariana!!). 

So what's to say of this. Her original character Cat was in every sense a total idiot. A HILARIOUS idiot, but thick headed none the less. Now was this damaging to teen girls on a national basis? Having a blatantly dumb girl stroll around hallways making a fool of herself isn't necessarily what one calls a role model… Well the point is WHO CARES NOW. Ariana has proved ANY girl can break their reputation as "the stupid one" and earn the title of a successful women with no strings attached.

Not only is she an inspiration with her magazine covers showing one doesn't have to "show it all" to get attention, but also Ariana's new album "Yours Truly" features hits like "Now You'll Never Now" and Popular Song" which tell stories of a women in power of her love life (THANK YOU Ariana for not making the bajillionth song about a girl obsessed and at the mercy of a guy). Now are there other love songs in the album?? Sure there are. Number one radio hit "The Way" tells a story of her passion towards a man but not her SUBMISSION (biiiggg flipping difference).

So what has this break out super star showed us?? You can break out of your stereotype ANYTIME and become a women that commands respect! You can have a "Popular Song" without playing into the stereotype of the damsel in distress. And most importantly you don't have to conform to the classic celebrity or "popular girl" to get attention. She didn't and now millions are OBSESSED
