Ariana Grande is known today as one of the world’s finest pop singers, but that’s not how she rose to fame: Grande came to national attention by portraying Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon series Victorious (and later on the Sam & Cat spinoff series). The first episode of Victorious aired on March 27, 2010, exactly ten years ago today. Now Grande has offered a look back at her time on the show with a nostalgic Instagram post celebrating the anniversary.
Following a post from co-star Daniella Monet, Grande shared a gallery of photos from her time on the show and reminisced about having fun on set and enjoying time spent working on the series:
“ten years of victorious. daniella’s post got me all in my feels now so i’m sorry for the mushiness but…. jus want to say how grateful i will always be for being on this show and for those years of my life. i couldn’t have spent my teenage years with a better, more funny, talented group of human beings. i really loved playing cat valentine (even though sometimes people think i actually still speak and act like that and her essence will lovingly haunt me til i die) …. i miss getting in trouble w my friends the school room and trying not to laugh when we weren’t supposed to on set. i even miss waking up with red hair dye stained pillows. thank u @danwarp and to my cast mates for some of the most special years of my life and for bringing all of us into each other’s lives. happy anniversary!”
