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.
The post, which was split with a clip from the new blockbuster movie adaptation of the Broadway show, was captioned: 'At 14 years old, @arianagrande was already dreaming of Oz, singing The Wizard and I like she was meant to be there.

The singer, who has been tipped to receive an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Glinda Upland in the Wicked movie, took to Twitter over a decade ago to tell fans that it was her dream role.
'Loved seeing Wicked again, amazing production. Made me realize again how badly I want to play Glinda at some point in my life,' she wrote at the time.

Jimmy, 50, couldn't resist mentioning Ariana's tweet from December 2011 and held up a print out of it.
'I'm so happy for you, I found a tweet that you put out in 2011 by the way,' he told her, before reading out her throwback post.
As the live studio audience gave a round of applause, Jimmy told Ariana: 'You did it, come on,' as the singer smiled and replied: 'That's so sweet.'
