Ariana Grande Embraced Her ‘Theater Kid’ For ‘SNL’ Monologue

Ariana Grande made her glorious return Saturday night live. As the “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)” singer is promoting her upcoming appearance on evil it was a shame that she only acted as the host of the episode.

However, yesterday (October 12) during the opening monologue Ariana Grande decided to try SNL viewers to a sweet musical offering to release their inner theater child. “Well, every theater kid’s dream is to lose their virginity,” she joked. “But his second dream is, of course, to be on ‘Wicked.’ I’m just hosting. No, I’m not going to make this about me, I’m just going to have fun, take it easy and, yeah, just keep it low-key.”

Shortly after, Ariana Grande delivered the goods (live vocals) after jokingly promising she wouldn’t. “I’ll keep it low-key tonight,” he said. “I promise I won’t sing.”

Ariana then broke into an impromptu rendition of No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak.” The kicker is that Ariana managed to transform the alt-rock staple into a lively cabaret-style cover right after knocking off her beloved Britney Spears impression.

In the movie musical, Wicked, Ariana Grande is sure to serve as an unofficial Broadway audition. But for now or at least going forward SNLproved that he has the technical skills to do it all.
