Watch Ariana Grande Impersonate Britney, Rihanna, Shakira and More on 'SNL' (Video)

Ariana Grande showed off her musical impersonation skills in a tuneful sketch on “Saturday Night Live.”

The artist, who served as both host and musical guest on the NBC staple, channeled her best Britney Spears, Shakira, Rihanna, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.

The sketch also managed to lampoon Jay Z’s troubled music streaming service Tidal, which experienced a technical breakdown. “We already bit the Kanye and Rihanna album releases,” Kenan Thompson‘s Tidal boss said in the sketch. “We cannot afford another glitch.”

So the team turned to its seemingly shy intern Chloe (Grande) to cover for some of the broken streaming lines of its biggest artists.

And Grande doesn’t disappoint, delivering spot-on versions of songs like Spears’ “Oops!…I Did It Again” and Shakira’s “Whenever, Wherever.” She also clarified when asked if she’s Hispanic. “That’s a common mistake – I’m just very, very Italian,” she said.

She also included a dig at mumble-mouthed Rihanna. “I truly don’t know what she’s saying,” she said.

“Nobody does,” Thompson pointed out.

However, Chloe does decline to fill in for Ariana Grande. “Sorry, not a fan,” she said.

And Jay Pharoah, no slouch in the impression department, makes an end-of-sketch appearance as Jay-Z himself.

'SNL's' Greatest Hosts: Beloved Tina Fey, Game-Changing Justin Timberlake, Classic Richard Pryor (Photos)

TOM HANKS
While the title "America's Sweetheart" is usually reserved for women, Hanks fits the bill to a tee. His willingness to mock his own film work went a long way in introducing us to this actor's actor.
NBC
DREW BARRYMORE
Her effervescence, commitment and life before the camera made her so game for whatever "SNL" threw her way.
NBC
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
JT isn't only the rare host/musical guest combo, he's also in the Five Timers club. Timberlake can also be credited with the SNL digital revolution, starring in beloved viral clips like "D*ck in a Box" with Andy Samberg.
NBC
JON HAMM
Despite his movie star looks, Hamm is as big a comedy nerd as natives like Tina Fey and Fred Armisen. His 30 Rockefeller Plaza legacy earns him a spot here.
NBC
TINA FEY
Head writer, "Weekend Update" anchor and game-changing Sarah Palin impersonator Fey is arguably "SNL's" finest ambassador and a killer host to boot.
NBC
JOHN GOODMAN
He has consistently delighted with his ability to play larger-than-life comedy alongside his archetype of blue collar straight man. His Linda Tripp impersonation is one for the record books.
NBC
RICHARD PRYOR
He isn't just a stand-up legend, he was a boundary-distending host with sketches like "Word Association."
NBC
BEHIND THE MUSIC
"More cow bell." No further explanation required.
NBC
KERRY WASHINGTON
K-Dub is an actor's actor, a primetime darling and a general class act. But her recent turn as host showed us her playful, topical side with sketches like, "What Does My Girl Say?"
NBC
ANNA KENDRICK
Kendrick is a triple-threat charmer whose "SNL" gig further propelled her into our hearts.
NBC
ANDREW GARFIELD
Previously, he seemed to have two speeds: indie brooding and Peter Parker. His turn as host showed a sense of awareness, a bit of cynicism and brought us the Beyonce gem, "The Beygency."
NBC
ALEC BALDWIN
His damped-down anger, Broadway showmanship and movie star silliness make Baldwin a pillar of the show. "Schweddy Balls" and "Canteen Boy" are easy milestones.
NBC
STEVE MARTIN
You don't host "SNL" 15 times without good reason. Martin is an American treasure, largely for the memorable characters he forged at 30 Rock.
NBC
JERRY SEINFELD
Despite his eponymous TV show, Seinfeld diversified plenty -- to much satisfaction -- under the gaze of Lorne Michaels.
NBC
CANDICE BERGEN
A five-timer and a glass ceiling buster, her mix of edge and high-brow mannerisms made Bergen unforgettable in sketches like "Toonces The Driving Cat."
NBC
JIM CARREY
While he forged his career on a different sketch show, Carey's rubber face and likability couldn't be contained. Especially when spoofing Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln commercials.
NBC
BETTY WHITE
She can do no wrong. You think we'd leave her on the cutting room floor?
NBC
CHEVY CHASE
He's as much a part of the DNA of "Saturday Night Live" as cue cards, audience plants and the very building it broadcasts from.
NBC
EMMA STONE
She can play goofy, sexy and downright weird. Check out "Bridal Shower" for her underrated, amazing sketch as a strange woman who brings her coworker some inappropriate gifts on the eve of her wedding.
NBC
SHIA LABEOUF
He might not get a break in the press, but Shia's been an exemplary host with the help of scene partners like Maya Rudolph.
NBC
BRUNO MARS
Mars proved himself more than a crooner with acting chops and charm outside the arena of the music video.
NBC
BEN AFFLECK
He went through hell -- and "Gigli" -- to cement his status as Great American Movie Star. His "SNL" gigs have delivered and contributed to his triumphant return to the A-list.
