Ariana Grande On Miley Cyrus And Her Twerk Performance: ‘We’re Both Doing Our Different Things’

Ariana Grande recently spoke to Rolling Stone about judging Miley Cyrus for her recent twerking performances. Ariana seemed to acknowledge that she and Miley have very different styles, but that they are both doing what they love.

Rolling Stone spoke with 20-year-old Ariana Grande earlier this week about her new album "Yours Truly," and why people should stop judging Miley Cyrus.

Rolling Stone prompted Ariana with: "You recently performed on the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.  I'm sure you caught Miley Cyrus' infamous twerk performance."

Ariana Grande replied: "She looked like she was having the time of her life. She's happy. I'm happy. We're both doing our different things. There's nothing wrong with having fun. Nothing wrong. I think all the people who are saying mean things about it and who are judging, need to spend less time judging other people and more time worrying about how to have as much fun as she's having in life right now."

Grande's debut album "Yours Truly" is currently the number one album in the country, spearheaded by the single "The Way" with Mac Miller.

Rolling Stone was referring to the infamous MTV VMA performance, where Miley Cyrus danced and twerked in latex underwear and seductively stroked herself and Robin Thicke with a foam finger.

Rolling Stone also asked: "While so many female singers seem to be compelled to live up to a certain provocative image, you seem to be very much grounded. Have you faced any industry pressures to change or fit in?"

Grande said: "Thank you! No, I don't feel much pressure to fit in. I never have. I've always just wanted to do my thing. I have really good friends and good family and if I don't fit in somewhere else, I fit in at home. I feel like when I try to fit in, it comes across as not genuine and that is not good. I'd rather just do me and have people say, 'Oh. That's interesting' than try to fit in."
