Ariana also feels the same about Kristin.
"I learned everything I know from watching this woman," Ariana said of Kristin, adding, "When we were doing Hairspray Live, you would pitch a joke, or like, a melody change here and there, and ask, 'Does this add value?' As a performer, to me, that changed my life entirely," according to E! News.
