So, I was scrolling through my feed the other day, and I stumbled upon this whole thing about Ariana Grande and her “left side of face.” I had to check it out, you know? It’s like, how can someone have a preferred side of their face? But apparently, it’s a thing.

First off, I dove into her background a bit. Turns out, she’s got Italian roots, Sicilian and Abruzzese to be exact. And she’s got an older half-brother, Frankie, who’s also in the entertainment biz. Her family moved from New York to Florida before she was even born, and her parents split when she was around eight or nine. Pretty standard stuff, right?
Then, I started looking into this whole “left side” business. It seems like there was some drama during a photoshoot in Australia. Apparently, she insisted on being photographed only from her left side. There was even a moment in 2016, she looked so different with cat eyeliner. And there was this one time, during an interview, where her team asked the interviewer to switch sides so they could get her “good side.” I mean, the lengths people go to, right?
But here’s the kicker: I found out she’s actually a righty! She confirmed it herself in an old tweet. So, why the preference for the left side in photos? I dug deeper and found some interesting theories.
- Some people think it’s because the right hemisphere of the brain, which controls the left side of the face, is more linked to emotions.
- Others say it’s just about hiding or accentuating certain features.
Honestly, I went down a rabbit hole of old photos. I saw her at 15, with curly hair, posing for group pics. She looked so different back then! And then there’s the more recent stuff, where she’s always angled to the left. It’s kind of fascinating, isn’t it?
I even came across this one report where she supposedly walked out of a photoshoot because she didn’t like her top. She later denied it, saying she just went to change her outfit. But still, it adds to the whole mystery, doesn’t it?

So, after all this digging, I’m still not 100% sure why Ariana Grande prefers her left side. But it’s definitely something that makes you think about how we present ourselves to the world. Maybe we all have a “good side,” whether we realize it or not.
Anyway, that’s my deep dive into the Ariana Grande left side saga. It’s a weird world out there, folks.
What do you guys think?
