If you look at enough pictures of singer Ariana Grande, you may notice something a bit strange.
Like the fact that more often than not, you are looking at the left side of the singer’s face.
It’s not so unusual to be more likely to see certain angles of celebrities in photo shoots than others.
The celeb’s features are often played up in an effort to make him or her look their best, with heavy photoshopping taking care of any perceived flaws.
Of course, in an age where heavily photoshopped celebrity pictures are the norm, one has to wonder why there’s so much emphasis on one side of the 21-year-old singer’s face.
Well the supposed answer to the left-side-of-face question may surprise you.
All signs are pointing that #LoveMeHarder will be the next single from @ArianaGrande! http://t.co/GGD3BWNUak pic.twitter.com/p9iXuiyboL

Allegedly Grande is sensitive to being photographed in a certain way because one side of her face has a cute little dimple and the other side has no dimple whatsoever.
That’s basically it.
While this supposed demand (Grande denies this and other recent accusations) may seem like a bit much, there is some science that backs up the desire to be viewed from the left.
Apparently when looking at an individual, humans tend to prefer the left side of their face. It’s somehow seen as “more pleasant”.
While it’s hard to say whether or not Grande’s hitting us hard with the left side of her face was based on previous scientific research, it must be said that in the end it’s really not THAT big a deal.
Grande recently responded to the many rumors about her via Twitter, declaring the diva accusations to be outright lies.

Said Grande, “[M]an some of these rumors that have been coming out about me lately actually have me laughing out loud.”
She instead encouraged fans and others to focus more on giving love than giving into hate.
Interestingly enough, nothing was said about the right side of her face.
