In this video, we're diving into Ariana Grande's recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, where she, alongside SNL cast members Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, and Sarah Sherman, performed a hilarious parody of Sabrina Carpenter's hit song "Espresso." But here's the twist — Ariana isn’t the first bridesmaid to do it!
Real-life bridesmaids Meredith Ryals and Mackenzie Stone, who served at their brother's wedding in Georgia, playfully called out SNL on TikTok, claiming they came up with the idea first! At the rehearsal dinner on Sept. 7, they performed an original spoof of "Espresso" for the bride and groom, sharing a video of it on Instagram on Oct. 6 — just days before SNL's skit aired on Oct. 12.
The similarities between the two performances were so uncanny that Stone said her "jaw was on the floor" after seeing the SNL sketch, which has racked up nearly 70 million views on TikTok. Fans online quickly noticed the likeness, with some even suggesting that SNL might have gotten inspiration from the bridesmaids' viral moment.
Now, the big question remains: Was it all just a crazy coincidence, or did SNL take some inspiration from these creative sisters? Either way, it’s all love and laughs, as Ryals and Stone praised Ariana’s comedic talent and Sabrina Carpenter’s catchy tune.
