When Ariana Grande was a baby celeb on Victorious, her other castmates really thought of her as the "performer" of the group even though her character Kat was initially only a minor role.

The behind the scenes interviews show her castmates consistently pointing her out as the funniest, the one who is always singing and generally the one who is the most "on" of the bunch.


In short, (yup, total AG height pun) Ariana Grande is a consummate performer with nobody to perform for.

Thanks, pandemic.

Ten years after Victorious, Ariana has found herself in the midst of a pandemic, locked away with no audience, no visitors or friends allowed and honestly kind of bored. Celebrities are just normal people with weird jobs, they get bored too, we promise.

So what's a performer to do when you can't be with your audience?

Do a whole concert for your pets? Gather up your stuffed animals and/or potted plants so they can listen to you do a dramatic reading?

Order one of those spring-microphone toys from Amazon, get in your window and pretend to be a singer at a Parisian burlesque, the scent of wine and cigars heavy in the air as young lovers pull one another close for just one more dance.

The neighbors totally want to hear you try to do Christina Aguilera with a French Accent singing "At Last"... again.

Or maybe performers... just ... don't perform?

Any parent with a performer kid can tell you, audience or not, performers gon' perform.

So much performing. They can't help themselves, bless their lil' hearts.

So performer Ariana is stuck at home bored, like most of the rest of the world. Unlike most of the rest of the world, she's got technology, a massive wardrobe, famous friends and a line-by-line knowledge of the Adam Sandler film, Waterboy.

So Ariana, her mom Joan, and actor/singer/amazing-eyebrow-owner Elizabeth Gillies got together and gifted the world with this:

and this:

Like we said, performers gon' perform.

This is one of those perfectly surreal things that just scream 2020, ya know? Obviously that means Twitter loved it.

Including Adam Sandler!








So now we want to know, what scene from what movie would you love to recreate?

The Waterboy is available here.

Grande's thank u, next is available here.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
