Ariana Grande, here’s a name you should probably try to remember, in case you don’t know it yet, because this young singer is bound for greatness. Above is video confirmation of that.

The young actress and singer was on hand at the 2013 American Music Awards for a performance of her latest single “Tattoo Heart,” lifted off the album “Yours Truly.” It was one of the highlights of the evening, without a doubt.

As we speak, her fans are still saying on dedicated forums that she’s the next Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston, based on this performance. I wouldn’t know about that, but she’s definitely going places if she keeps this up.

Also at the awards, Ariana won the New Artist of the Year award, presented by Kohl’s, and became so overwhelmed that she delivered the weirdest and cutest acceptance speech in the entire gala.

Watch Ariana bring back some of the glamour of years long-gone above.
