Ariana Grande is known for her uncanny impressions (just look at her recent SNL appearance where she impersonated everyone from Celine Dion to Jennifer Coolidge), and the latest figure in her repertoire is TikTok influencer Nara Smith.
The 23-year-old mother of three who is married to fellow model Lucky Blue Smith has amassed 10.3m followers with her cooking videos from scratch and her soft-talking monotone narration of her process and also wears stylish outfits in what people have described as "tradwife" content.
In her viral videos, Smith has made a wide range of things from meals and snacks such as waffles, cookies, and Cheetos, to her home essentials such as toothpaste, hail gel and sunscreen.
In a recent video for her makeup brand r.e.m. beauty, Grande took a leaf out of Smith's book and smoothly narrated a 'get ready with me' video as she got dressed up for the Academy Museum Gala.
"This is my first time doing voiceover, and it's so much f***ing pressure," Ariana admitted. "This is so intense. All I can think of is Nara Smith."

She added the words "love her sm" popped up in text format and then Ariana adopted Nara's voice: "And then when I got home from the Academy Gala, I made my kids some Capri Sun from scratch and I zested the lemons."
For one of her TikToks, Smith has previously made her own version of the Capri Sun drink from scratch for her children where she used "some pineapple, pears, apple, oranges and also some frozen cherries".

Ariana's GRWM clip has over 2.1m views and fans in the comment section loved that Ariana took inspiration from Smith.
One person said: "The Nara Smith impressionâŠyouâre so unreal i love it."
"The nara smith reference omg ily," another person wrote.
Someone else replied: "THE NARA SMITH IMPRESSIONNNNNI LOVE HERR IM CRYING".
"Your impression of Nara omg," a fourth person commented.
Of course, Ariana's recent video got the attention of Smith herself who was quizzed about her thoughts on the popstar's parody during an Instagram Q&A on Tuesday (October 23), Daily Mail reported.
"I saw and giggled," the TikToker said.
