Yesterday saw Ariana Grande turn 21 and she celebrated by spending some time at Disney World in Florida.

In celebration of the singer many have called a 'mini Mariah', we've taken a look at 10 things you may not know about the starlet.

1) She has a famous brother called Frankie Grande. Frankie is an avid YouTuber, performer and producer and has this week entered the Big Brother US household. He's keeping his identity under wraps for now so that people don't use the connection against him in a bid to turf him out.

2) Her name was inspired by Felix the Cat character Princess Oriana.

3) She's allergic to cats, bananas, shellfish and some cough medicines.

4) She's a fan of the Harry Potter series, and notes that her favourite characters are Draco Malfoy and Luna Lovegood.

5) Her opinions on love are strong, and she's been described as a "hopeless romantic", stating she's obsessed with love and being in love.

6) She has two birthmarks - one on her right cheek and one on her left shoulder.

7) She dated Nathan Sykes from The Wanted for a short period of time after collaborating with him on a track for her album 'Yours Truly'.

8) After meeting Jim Carrey for the first time, Ariana burst into tears.

9) October 1, 2013 saw Ariana reach 10 million followers on social media platform Twitter.

10) Her most recent track 'Problem' featuring Iggy Azalea smashed the charts in America.

Ariana Grande's new album is expected for release at the end of August.
