Ariana Grande performed for the first time on the Saturday Night Live season opener this weekend, and the rising pop star lived up to the considerable hype.
While the recent deluge of Ariana Grande diva rumors remains in dispute, what there's no argument about is that the young woman has serious talent.
Her looks don't hurt her popularity, either. Just saying.
The 21-year-old joined guest host Chris Pratt on SNL, and the up-and-coming princess of pop more than held her own with the prince of comedy.
Ariana started her first performance, of her hit single "Break Free," atop a piano, kicking off the song on a mellow note before picking up the pace.
Grande's stripped down intro to “Break Free” belied the excitement that was to come, as the singer soon jumped down and ramped up the up-tempo track.
Flanked by an entourage of male backup dancers, the petite beauty looked super sexy as she showed off her dance moves, which were not half bad.
Later in the show, Ariana sang “Love Me Harder," featuring The Weekend, which is featured in the song. The group joined her on stage, which was great.
Ariana's prolific vocal stylings - and crop top - were on display just as much in her second SNL performance, if not more so, as she absolutely killed it.
Grande, who recently performed at the iHeartRadio music festival and the Stand Up To Cancer telethon, is out there hustling to make a name for herself.
We've seen a number of strong live efforts from her lately, namely the Ariana Grande National Anthem performance, but this ranks up there with the best.
Do you agree? Which of her two Saturday Night Live performances do you think was better? And is Grande worthy of all the hype she's been getting?
Tell us below, and scroll through some fun Ariana facts ...
