Does Ariana's mom write her acceptance speeches?

When Ariana Grande took home the award for Best New Artist at the 2013 American Music Awards, she reached into her dress to grab her acceptance speech. but even though the "thank yous" came from her heart, the words themselves came from a surprising source her mother, Joan! "My mom made me this thing and I have it in here," she admitted as she reached for her notes. With the help of her mom, Ariana gave a great speech and didn't leave anyone out, especially her fans. " I have the most loving, supportive fans and I love them so much," she said. Great job to both Grande girls!
