In the new issues of Billboard, Grande says her childhood role models include a kooky British actress, a horror movie icon and the Material Girl. Grande worships at the altar of Madonna saying, "She is strength, she is freedom, she is wisdom beyond anybody's comprehension."

Perhaps, Tim Burton would be interesting to know that Grande was "a very weird little girl," who now takes inspiration from Helena Bonham Carter, calling herself "a mini" version of the gothic screen queen.

But, maybe most surprisingly, Grande says she idolizes Freddy Krueger. "I always wanted to have face paint on or be wearing a Freddy Krueger mask, and I would carry a hockey stick around."
