Ariana Grande just revealed who’s on her TikTok FYP. 

While filming a get-ready-with me video for her night at the Academy Museum Gala on Oct. 19, the actress, 31, performed a pretty spot-on impersonation of Nara Smith. 

The singer joked that she felt like the viral 23-year-old TikToker — who’s famously known for her soft-spoken decibel — while doing her own voiceover for the clip shared on Oct. 22. 

“This is so intense. All I can think of is Nara Smith,” she joked, before imitating the influencer’s famous “made from scratch” monologues. “And when I got home from the Academy Gala, I made my kids some Capri Sun from scratch and I zested some lemons.” 

Fans were obsessed with Grande’s impression — and so was Nara, who took to her Instagram Stories to say that she saw the TikTok and "giggled."

Elsewhere in the video, the Grammy winner shared behind-the-scenes footage of how makeup artist Michael Anthony and hairstylist Alyx Liu did her glam for the star-studded night. 

Grande showed her favorite r.e.m. beauty products, including the Metallic Matte Lipstick from the Galinda Makeup Set, and gave fans a closer look at her custom Balmain polka dot gown, sharing that it was a remake of one of her favorite looks from their archives. 

She ended the video by saying she was “honored to be introducing her friend,” referring to her Cynthia Erivo who, like Grande, kept up with the Wicked method dressing at the gala in an Elphaba-coded emerald look.

It’s no surprise that Grande is a fan of Nara’s content since the model — along with her husband Lucky Blue Smith, 26 — is everywhere right now. 

But although she’s racked up 10.3 million followers on TikTok, with her cooking videos getting upwards of 44.5 million views, Nara doesn’t feel like there’s any sort of celebrity attached to her platform. 

At the Clarins Double Serum Launch Party in Austin, the mom of three told PEOPLE, “we just share our life” — but will “take” being Gen Z’s It couple.
