You can view Ariana's Livestream here

I've taken a selection of questions that people asked at the livestream and posted the answers to them here (not perfectly word for word). Hope you enjoy the read.

---

What was it like meeting Justin Bieber?
It was really cool, I really love his music.

What's your favorite song at the moment?
I love Katy Perry a lot. I've been listening to a lot of Katy Perry and Rihanna. A lot of vintage sort of stuff.

What do you love about your Victorious character?
I think the thing I love the most about Cat is that when I'm playing her, she literally takes me out of anything I'm worrying about. Like, I've been pretty down these last couple of weeks, you know moody and all, dealing with all kinds of stuff. When I play Cat and when I'm on set with everyone, it's just such a positive environment. Nothing bothers me when I play Cat, and the acting gets things off my mind.

What is your favorite comfort food?
Probably chicken noodle soup and french fries.

What was it like kissing Matt Bennett?
He's like really.. eh... has humongous lips.. It was very nice, they're very plush.

When will we meet cats brother?
I don't know. I really hope you meet Cats brother some day. My dream is to have Dan Schneider play Cats brother - I think it would be the finniest thing in the whole wide world.

Do you and Alexa borrow each other clothes?
Yeah, all the time! We've known each other since 2nd grade.

What is your favorite episode of Victorious?
My favorite episode of Victorious a the moment would be Terror on Cupcake Street! It's really funny, I just love the scenario that Tori is placed into with the typical stereotype bad sort of people in jail. Bring dressed in candy pajamas was also awesome. We were also very delirious because it was shot late at night and we all get a bit loopy on late night shoots.

Do you often creep on your fans twitters?
Yeah, I always love to see whats going on in the Universe of the Ariana Army! I love seeing what you guys are talking about... Sometimes theres a lot of drama which bothers me a lot. But I love reading what you guys are up to - You guys are always very funny which is what I love about you. I'll read your tweets and be like "oh my God".

Who was your first crush?
It was Justin Timberlake. I think everyone's first crush was Justin Timberlake - I was in love with him, I though I was going to marry him.

Do you have a diet?
I try to always eat healthy. I'll go to vegan restaurants and eat a lot of fruit. I do eat cupcakes every day as well, so I don't really have a diet.

What shampoo do you use?
I get my shampoo specially from someone in LA. More often than not, I'll just use my philosophy body wash to wash my hair with because it says it's a shampoo as well, so yeah.

Where did Liz take you on your first date?
Ahh? What are you.. Omg. Liz and I aren't dating, but we do go to the grove a lot together.

What is the craziest reaction I have had to a fan?
I didn't really know how to act around fans in the start. One day I was at this party and Jerry Trainor was there and this group of little children ran up to him and he just acted really cool and was acting like a clown with them. It was great to see that we could be all casual with our fans and didn't have to be serious all the time. - My craziest reaction was when I was in New York and this beautiful girl had Put Your Hearts Up tattooed on her back or side of her butt cheek area.

What's the progress with Do You Love Me?
It's coming very soon! Now that we're done with the season of Victorious filming I can focus back on my music to get it out sooner. I should have details for you very soon, within the next two weeks, but I'm very excited about it!

What song of yours is your favorite so far?
I don't know, since you don't know all of the titles yet... Honeymoon Avenue and Do You Love me are near the top at the moment, but those are the only two you know of so far, so I'll just say that for now.

What is your favorite animal?
I love sea creatures! Penguins, dolphins, whales and fish... I wanted to get my scuba diver licence this summer but I've been busy and all. If there is anything I want to do during this break time, it's to get that licence. I want to do my work and make music though, but that's my vacation plans.

What's the weirdest food you have eaten?
I actually had a brussel sprout last night, Alexa forced me to have it, and... I was just so confused by it. I didn't know what I was eating, like the texture and flavor and all.

Where do you love to shop?
I shop online a lot... In fact probably too much online. I got this cute new phone case online the other day and I just love it! I generally shop at vintage stores - There's this really cool vintage american store in LA and a Japanese store on the same street that sells cute band aids and random bows and stuff.

What is your favorite macaron?
Omg, so many people are asking me questions about maracons! My favorite would have to be pistachio and vanilla rose.

What is your favorite show at the moment?
I'm loving reality TV like Project Runway and stuff. - I actually started working with a designer from Project Runway the other week and she made me a dress for the Teen Choice Awards tomorrow night - It's so cute and all. When it arrived though, it was a little bit big around the... You know, you've got to keep it small for those 32A's! *laughs*

Do you want to get another tattoo?
I've had enough of tattoos for now, but I'd get something in french cursive. Something cute translated to french because I love it.

Are you anything like your character Cat?
I try to be a little bit like her. She doesn't judge anyone and always has a positive, good and nice attitude towards everything. She always looks for the good in everyone. - She's a little bit crazy though.

How does your hair always look perfect?
It doesn't always look perfect! I just use a curling iron, I do my hair every day...

When is Cat going to say "What's that suppose to mean" again?
Yeah, she hasn't really said that for a while now! We said it again for the final episode of the season again last night. - Cat has changed dramatically over the past few seasons, a change that I really like. The writers always know what to do with her!

Are you going to read 50 Shades of Grey?
Haha, Alexa is reading this at the moment! I read like one page and said "eww, no way"! Alexa loves it!

Are you going to the Teen Choice Awards tomorrow?
Yeah, I'm actually going there tomorrow! I've got this pretty dress to wear. It's cream and has a little pink, green, yellow... I can't say too much, it must be a surprise!

To finish off with, Ariana mentioned that she has been working on a cover song for the past few days in the studio.

The cover I've been working on recently is Die In Your Arms by Justin Beiber. In there, there is a little talking part. I've removed that and replaced it with the talking part from Clumsy by Fergie as I'm relating to it a bit more at the moment. It's sort of like a very mini mash-up for you all.

I'll be releasing it when I reach 2.4 million followers as a sort of SURPRISE for you all! This will give me a bit of time to go back to the studio and record some backing vocals for it, and we need to finish the track as well. I'll be putting it up on my Soundcloud page and then on YouTube a few days later or something.
