One of the biggest new stars in music will take center stage at MSG.

When you think NBA All-Star Game and music, you must think — Ariana Grande?

Maybe not, but the NBA does.

The league announced Thursday that the pop sensation will headline the halftime entertainment portion of its 64th All-Star Game on Feb. 15. The game will take place in New York at Madison Square Garden.

As far as music stars go, it's hard to find anyone hotter than Grande these days. 

Last year, the 21-year-old became the first artist since Michael Jackson to have three of her songs — “Problem," "Break Free" featuring Zedd, and "Bang Bang" with Nicki Minaj and Jessie J” — appear in the Billboard Top 6 Digital Singles charts at the same time.
