Ariana Grande delivers killer Britney, Shakira and Rihanna impressions on SNL
By Will Stroude
We’ve seen her channel her inner Celine Dion in the past, but Ariana Grande had her full repertoire of impressions on displays during her Saturday Night Live hosting debut this weekend (March 12).
The show saw the 22-year-old Break Free singer nail spookily like-for-like renditions of Britney’s ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’, Shakira’s ‘Whenever, Wherever’ and even Rihanna’s ‘Work’ during a skit in which she played a Tidal intern forced to perform hit songs to keep the streaming service running.
While she might have proved herself a dab hand in the impersonation stakes though, the US pop starlet showed she does herself best after performing new single ‘Dangerous Woman’ live for the first time during the show.
The track is the lead single from Ari’s upcoming third studio album of the same name, set for release on May 20.
