They even renamed the show for her, guys. AND brought back Sway!

And we all know a space-themed music vid downright guarantees pop superstardom. Just ask Britney.

4. That time her, Jessie, and Nicki taught us how to "Bang Bang."

"Bang Bang:" When good collaborations happen to good people.

5. That time she opened up the VMAs...with some help from her girls.

Not only did she belt some tunes and don some cat ears, she made quite the adorkable cameo in one of the skits.

Ruling the world, one hair flip at a time.

They're known for making sweet music together, so it was only a matter of time before they graduated to even sweeter photo-ops.

Proving last year's show-stopping performance was no fluke, Ari owned the stage with a medley of her hits. Then her and her legs came back for an encore.

13. That time she became an Internet meme.

"Grammy winner Ariana Grande." Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

2014 was totally Ariana's year. We were all just living in it.
