I now wear a wig onSam & Cat,” she wrote in a 2014 Facebook post.

“The pony has also gone through an evolution, and I’m proud of that,” Grande, 24,saidin her 2018Fadercover story. “Old pony? I don’t know if she’s that girl. But new pony? I like her. I mean, it’s like a Victoria Secret angel without angel wings. It’s still her without them, but when she’s with them it’s like,Ohh, I get it, she’s an angel.”
