Christina’s Prom!

In the midst of her rise to fame, Christina was able to take a night out of her hectic schedule to live out a normal teenage experience: Prom!

AATIR with Sarah

‘Above All That is Random’ continued in the year of 2011 as Christina and her good friend Sarah created silly songs out of random words. If you want a good laugh, there’s just no way around the randomness that is AATIR!

Skrillex!

Skrillex captured Christina’s attention this past year, so much so that she made a couple videos of herself rocking out to his songs!

Videogame Alert: Nintendo 3DS

One thing Christina was thrilled about this year, was the release of the Nintendo 3DS. Being the biggest videogame-geek ever, she obviously had to get one for herself! Now she can play Zelda while she is on tour!

1 million YouTube-Subs & 2 Year Anniversary

Christina posted her first video cover on her channel zeldaxlove64 in 2009, so this past year marked her 2 year anniversary! Also, the fact that Christina now has over a million YouTube subscribers is a cause for celebration!

The Poof

“The Poof” drew much attention throughout the past year. Christina even posted a Hair Tutorial for those who want to rock her look. Most recently, Christina got a hairstyle that included bangs, but don’t fear, Team Grimmie, the poof is still visible!

We Own The Night Tour with Selena Gomez

Not only was Christina given the opportunity to go on tour with Selena Gomez and Allstar Weekend in America, but also in Canada. Over the summer, Christina traveled across the nation performing hits off of her debut album, plus some of her most popular covers! After the summer-segment of the tour wrapped up, Christina continued to perform on the second leg of the tour with Selena in Canada. It certainly seemed to be a lifetime experience!
