Ariana Grande, the pocket-sized vocal powerhouse and occasional cloud-sitter, surprised everyone with an impromptu song about her height during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday night (February 5) in Hollywood.
The 31-year-old human high note was on the show to chat about her upcoming movie Wicked, which, for those living under a rock, is a big green musical extravaganza. She also spilled some fun tea about her mom, Joan—apparently, Joan was out there hustling for theater auditions back in the day, and Ariana may or may not have borrowed some of her mom’s essence for an SNL character. (Sorry, Joan, but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.)
Short Girl Anthem: The Song You Didn’t Know You Needed
Before Ariana even got to sit down and bless us with her tiny-yet-mighty presence, she took part in Wing It or Sing It—a segment where celebrities must perform a song with zero preparation. Naturally, Ariana made the entire thing sound like a Grammy-winning masterpiece, and the topic? Her smol-ness.
Some lyrical highlights:
🎵 “Life, they say, is short… and turns out, so am I.” (Tragic, yet poetic.)
🎵 “I am little, I am tiny, I’m the perfect bite-sized snack.” (Fun-sized candy bars everywhere just got a new spokesperson.)
🎵 “For a bed, I use a sock.” (Honestly, too relatable. Airbnb is shaking.)
Oh, and because she’s starring in Wicked, she seamlessly threw in a Broadway-level bar:
🎵 “You’ll never see me frown, ‘cause I’m defying gravity and you can’t pull me down.”
I mean, is this woman even real?!?
The performance was pure comedy gold, and if you haven’t seen it yet, *what are you even doing with your life?* Watch the full video and her interview right here! (And someone get her a step stool, stat.)
This is the short queen energy we all need. 💅😂
