Dreams do come true. Ariana Grande‘s first single “Put Your Hearts Up” might have flopped in 2011, but the pop star seems to have bounced back easily.

The former Nickelodeon star recently won the “Favorite Female Artist Award” in the pop/ rock category at the 2015 American Music Awards held in Los Angeles.
