Ariana Grande looks like a VMAs angel while rehearsing for the pre-show.

Happy 2013 VMAs day!! Who here's excited?! Welllll, I think it completely goes without saying that WE are (AND that we haven't slept till Brooklyn), but that's all besides the point. The point today is, doesn't Ariana Grande look soooo beautiful and angelic rehearsing for her VMAs pre-show performance?? #Yes, #OneThousandTimesYes

Keep reading about Ariana's VMA rehearsal after the jump.

Yep, yesterday we managed to snap a stunning mid-rehearsal portrait of the "Baby I" singer rehearsing juuust as the sun was setting. And seriously, this sun-kissed image is just the cherry atop her year.

Doesn't it just feel like everything's falling into place for Ariana?? Not only is she hanging out with ALL the awesome dudes in pop music (Mac Miller, Big Sean, JUSTIN BIEBER), but she's about to drop her debut disc, Yours Truly, on Aug. 30!
