Ariana Grande made a triumphant return to Saturday Night Live this past weekend, showcasing her vocal prowess and comedic chops. The pop star performed two songs from her latest album, “Eternal Sunshine,” and also starred in a hilarious Moulin Rouge parody.
Grande kicked off her musical performances with “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” a soulful ballad about the struggles of staying friends with an ex-lover. Dressed in a stunning white gown, she belted out the emotional lyrics while backed by a full band and backup singers.
For her second performance, Grande switched things up with “Imperfect for You,” a catchy and upbeat track about embracing one’s flaws in a relationship. The singer showed off her impressive range and dance moves, captivating the audience with her energy and stage presence.
But Grande’s talents weren’t limited to just singing. She also showed off her acting skills in a Moulin Rouge parody, playing the role of Satine, originally portrayed by Nicole Kidman in the 2001 film. The skit poked fun at the idea of a modern-day Moulin Rouge, with Grande’s character struggling to keep up with the fast-paced world of social media and dating apps.
Grande’s return to SNL was met with praise from fans and critics alike, with many applauding her vocal abilities and comedic timing. This marks her third time as both host and musical guest on the popular NBC program.
The 27-year-old singer has been on a roll lately, with her latest album “Positions” debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and receiving critical acclaim. She also recently announced her engagement to real estate agent Dalton Gomez, adding to her already eventful year.
Grande’s performance on SNL is just another example of her versatility and talent as an artist. Fans can’t wait to see what she has in store next, as she continues to dominate the music industry and entertain audiences with her impressive vocals and comedic flair.
