Ariana Grande's latest SNL hosting gig was a whirlwind of musical impressions and laugh-out-loud moments including a kiss with Bowen Yang! Dive into her unforgettable night!

Ariana Grande made a splash over the weekend as she hosted Saturday Night Live for the third time, and boy, did she bring the house down! From spot-on impressions of music icons like Celine Dion and Britney Spears to a Broadway-worthy monologue, Ariana showcased her undeniable talent. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, as the pop star delighted audiences with her quick wit and captivating singing abilities, proving once again that she is a force to be reckoned with, both onstage and off.

One of the standout moments of the night was a playful kiss shared between Ariana and SNL cast member Bowen Yang, igniting a frenzy of reactions from the live audience and fans watching at home. Their cheeky chemistry was palpable, adding a lighthearted twist to the evening’s festivities. Additionally, Ariana’s impersonations took center stage, leaving viewers in stitches, especially as she slipped into the personas of Miley Cyrus and even Jennifer Coolidge. It was a talent-packed night that left fans wanting more.

In true SNL fashion, Grande didn’t shy away from blending genres—e.g., her hilarious Celine Dion UFC promo, which had audiences roaring with laughter. With her background in musical theater, Ariana also managed to weave in elements of her ongoing Broadway project, Wicked, delivering a nostalgic nod to her "theater kid" roots. Combining humor, skill, and charm, Ariana reminded everyone why she reigns as a beloved pop icon.

What made the episode even more memorable was Ariana’s reflection on how much has changed since her last hosting gig in 2016, where she humorously remarked on the world’s evolution—from political shifts to personal growth. As the night went on, it became clear that Ariana Grande wasn’t just a talented performer; she is someone who can hold the screen and stage with a magnetic presence.

Fun fact: This was Ariana's third time hosting SNL—her previous appearances set high standards, but she never fails to blow them out of the water! Plus, did you know that before her pop stardom, Ariana was already making waves in Broadway’s 13, where she showcased her vocal talents? Talk about living the dream! It's clear that with her multi-faceted career, Ariana isn’t just a pop diva—she’s a versatile performer ready to conquer any stage she steps onto!
