Frankie Grande Reveals Ariana + Family's Christmas Traditions

by VH1 12/3/2014

I have loved Frankie James Grande ever since I discovered his amazing YouTube channel back when I was in college! He is so energetic and full of life, which automatically makes him my spirit animal and inspiration. Thank God I ran into him today in the VH1 elevators, because he has been BLOWING UP lately. We all know his sister Ariana Grande’s new single, “Santa Tell Me” and I even got him to dish on the Grande’s family Christmas!

I usually get extremely nervous when I meet a celebrity like Frankie, but I spent so much time watching him on the Big Brother live feed I feel like he’d be down to Earth and totally approachable — which he was! It wasn’t like we were strangers, but best friends reuniting on an elevator! OMG! Could you imagine? ME? Best friends with Frankie James Grande??? I’d die!

Frankie isn’t just a TV star, he also dominates the Broadway stage. He’s currently starring as Franz in Rock of Ages. He even showed me a few signature moves from the show, and gave me a “Shine Bright like a Frankie” elevator makeover by blessing me with eye glitter. My mind is literally blown now that I’ve met my absolute favorite.
