AceShowbiz - During her second turn as "Saturday Night Live" host, Ariana Grande promised a "low-key" episode but quickly broke that promise with her energetic and fun sketches. In one standout moment, she joined "SNL" cast members Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, and Sarah Sherman in a bridesmaid skit that parodied Sabrina Carpenter's summer smash hit. The sketch revolved around a bachelorette party gone awry in Charleston, with a narrative twist involving a mysterious man named Domingo.
Grande, playing the Maid of Honor, alongside her fellow bridesmaids, sang out-of-tune and off-key verses to the tune of Carpenter's "Espresso," revealing the not-so-innocent events of the trip. Their comedic rendition provided plenty of laughs, especially when the groom, played by Andrew Dismukes, suspected infidelity, only for the bridesmaids to downplay it hilariously.
Sabrina Carpenter, known for her cheeky lyrics and catchy melodies, took to Instagram to share her reaction to the SNL spoof. She reposted a clip of the skit on her Instagram Story, humorously captioning it with, "Very nice and on pitch," accompanied by heart emojis. Grande responded on her own Instagram Story with, "tysm we tried." The playful exchange between the two pop stars added an extra layer of enjoyment for fans.
Grande's performance on SNL showcased her comedic talents and versatility. She donned wigs to impersonate Jennifer Coolidge and mimicked Celine Dion's accent in various hilarious sketches. Despite not being the musical guest - a role filled by Stevie Nicks that evening - Grande still displayed her vocal prowess in other segments, much to the audience's delight.
This episode also highlighted Sabrina Carpenter's impact on pop culture. After releasing her sixth album, "Short N' Sweet," in August, Carpenter skyrocketed in popularity with hits like "Espresso," which she co-wrote with Steph Jones and Amy Allen. Her unique sense of humor and relatable lyrics continue to resonate with fans.
For those who missed it, the "Espresso" spoof on SNL is a must-watch, blending humor with a touch of pop culture tribute. Both Grande and Carpenter demonstrated why they are adored by young audiences and why their work continues to captivate viewers.
