Ariana Grande proved that she was always destined to star in Wicked when she reposted an epic throwback video of herself singing one of it's biggest numbers when she was just a teenager on Sunday. Re-sharing a video posted by the Instagram account Voices of Gold, the clip featured a young Ariana belting out the song The Wizard and I, which is sung by the character Elphaba in the hit musical.

The popstar, now 31, looked worlds away from her current appearance in the old footage, which was taken over a decade ago in 2008, when she was 14 years old. Ariana rocked long brunette locks and was dressed in a short-sleeved black blouse. The clip was filmed during her time as a student at Broadway Artists Alliance, which provides professional training for promising young musical theater performers in the heart of New York City.
