Ariana Grande cancels Australian media photo shoots after issuing long list of demands

AFTER Ariana Grande made an extra-large list of diva demands that led to her Aussie photo shoots being cancelled, this is the photo she didn’t want you to see.

POCKET rocket popette Ariana Grande has an extra-large list of diva demands for her Australian chatfest.

And most of them are don’ts rather than dos — so it’s not really a surprise Grande’s photo shoots were cancelled abruptly yesterday.

OPEN LETTER: Ariana Grande’s right cheek speaks out

But today, we can reveal the photograph taken of her that she did not want the public to see.

The photo below was taken by mX photographer Chris Pavlich before she cancelled the rest of her photo shoot with a group of Australian media.

All media who were granted an audience with the 21-year-old singer were instructed to steer clear of delicate topics during her promotional visit this week.

DON’T ask questions about:

(1) Relationships/Dating/Ex-boyfriends

(2) Mariah Carey

(3) Sam & Cat/Jennette McCurdy

(4) Working/collaborating with Justin Bieber

(5) Her grandfather passing away

Photographers were also given last-minute instructions from the Problem star’s minders.

*DON’T use natural light.

*DO shoot only from the left side of her face.

Grande’s first sitting for mX newspaper was a stop-start affair, with the singer checking each frame after it was taken and asking for shots she wasn’t pleased with to be deleted.

After a few minutes she left the hotel suite, complaining to her reps that she was unhappy with how her top looked in the poses.

Everyone assumed she had just gone back to her room at The Darling Hotel to change her outfit.

The remaining photographers waiting to capture the Bang Bang pop star’s close-up had already been put through their paces by the entertainer’s creative directors.

After another 20 minutes of waiting for Grande to switch outfits, one of her representatives returned, demanding the mX photographer delete all his photos.

The photogrpaher refused - and was later approached by a member of the singer’s security team who attempted to prevent him from closing the tailgate on his car as he stowed his equipment.

The singer then ditched the rest of the happy snaps session for various newspaper outlets including News Corp Australia.

Grande was a child star on the Nickelodeon show Victorious and its short-lived spin-off Sam & Cat before quickly establishing her pop credentials last year with debut record Yours Truly.

Her music career has since become her priority, quickly following up with the second record My Everything.

The questions we would have asked Grande had the interview gone ahead as planned — with photos — included:

*Your album hit No. 1 in 85 countries as the Break Free video reaches 50 million views. How do you wrap your head around the enormous numbers attached to your achievements?

*You have quickly become a Twitter champion. Do you think you could beat James Blunt in a tweet-off?

*How much longer will the bedazzled leotard reign as the female pop star onstage uniform?

*Do you choose your duet partners or do they choose you?

*When will you retire the ponytail?

*Will you be touring Australia next year?
