Ariana Grande showcased her incredible vocal talents during her recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” The singer-songwriter, who hosted the show for the second time, paid tribute to various female vocalists in Hollywood with her tongue-in-cheek monologue.
During her monologue, Grande humorously mentioned how the last time she hosted SNL was during the time of a female presidential nominee, referencing Hillary Clinton and hoping for a better outcome for Kamala Harris. She also shared that she will be starring in the upcoming movie adaptation of the Broadway show “Wicked,” set for release next month, but joked that she wouldn’t be singing during the show, only taking on hosting duties.
Despite her initial claims, Grande couldn’t resist showcasing her vocal prowess and ended up singing throughout the show, including impersonations of Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, and Gwen Stefani. Her ability to mimic these iconic singers was truly impressive and had the audience in awe.
In one memorable moment, Grande joked about not discussing the “Wicked” movie, only to be interrupted by Bowen Yang dressed as Glinda the Good Witch, informing her that the sketch had been cut. The singer also participated in several sketches where she sang, proving that she didn’t take the night off as much as she had joked.
While Grande didn’t impersonate Stevie Nicks during the show, the legendary singer did make an appearance and handled performance duties, giving Grande a few short breaks in between quick changes. Despite this, Grande managed to entertain the audience with her spot-on impressions and humor, earning plenty of laughs throughout the night.
Overall, Ariana Grande’s SNL appearance was a testament to her versatility as a performer and her ability to captivate audiences with her vocal talents. Fans of the singer can look forward to seeing her in the upcoming “Wicked” movie and hopefully more entertaining performances in the future.
