Ariana Grande Sings During Her ‘Saturday Night Live’ Monologue, With Bowen Yang Playing Glinda

Buy Me A Coffee

Ariana Grande waltzed into Saturday Night Live last night like she was just there to “host and chill,” but SURPRISE—homegirl couldn’t resist turning her monologue into a mini-concert. I mean, who actually believed she wouldn’t sing? That’s like inviting Gordon Ramsay over and saying, “No cooking, though. Just vibes.” 🍝

Dressed in a pink puffball dress that screamed, “I’m legally obligated to make everything about me,” Ariana, 31, was giving us peak Glinda from Wicked energy. The episode aired on October 12th, straight from NBC Studios in New York, aka “the place where celebrities go to pretend they’re normal.”

“I’m just hosting, okay?” Ariana promised with the confidence of someone who definitely planned on doing the most. “This isn’t about me. I’m keeping it chill. Low-key. Like… as low-key as a Starbucks order with 17 instructions.” She even threw Stevie Nicks under the bus—joking that Stevie was handling the singing duties that night. But let’s be real, the moment Ari sees a microphone, the temptation is stronger than a PSL on a crisp autumn day.

So naturally, 15 seconds later, she bursts into song like she’s headlining Coachella. Not just one song—impersonations. We got Britney Spears (cue breathy whispers), Miley Cyrus (yee-haw meets raspy chaos), and Gwen Stefani (bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!). It was the vocal equivalent of a choose-your-own-adventure book, except Ariana chose all of them at once.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get weirder, Bowen Yang strolls in, also dressed as Glinda, ready to hit us with his own brand of Wicked magic. But, plot twist! Ariana had to gently break it to him that the Wicked sketch was axed. Yeah, Bowen—sometimes even sparkly witches don’t make the cut. 🧙‍♀️ “It’s showbiz, babe,” she probably said, silently promising to cast a “sorry-not-sorry” spell on Lorne Michaels later.

And let’s not forget: Ariana’s wardrobe was fancy-fancy. She rocked a Thierry Mugler dress from Rita Watnick-LILY et Cie, Inc., which sounds more like a couture law firm than a fashion line. No big deal—just casually hosting a comedy show while dressed like a Renaissance art exhibit.

Watch the madness unfold in the video below! You’ll laugh, cry, and probably end up humming Gwen Stefani songs all night.
