Ariana Grande’s musical impressions are pretty legendary at this point, but she took things to a whole new level in her appearance on Saturday Night Live last night.
In a sketch, SNL guest host Ariana Grande played a mild mannered intern who was called upon to help the tech team behind Jay Z’s struggling Tidal music service.
Cue a bunch of spot on singing impersonations from Grande, as she nailed the vocal mannerisms of Britney Spears, Shakira and Whitney Houston, among others.
She even threw in a subtle bit of shade at Rihanna for good measure.

Impressive stuff all round!
