Ariana Grande set the record straight on her Instagram Story last night: She is not amused by people impersonating her or her Victorious character Cat Valentine on TikTok. The singer shared several clips of filmmaker Jordan Firstman doing satirical impressions on her Instagram Story, adding candid remarks about how she feels about all the people out there mimicking her high-pitched Cat voice or lip-syncing to audio of it.
Grande made her comments alongside a clip of Firstman doing an impression of a meme. The meme video is the third in his original post.
He says in it, “Okay, wait, wait, I have an idea: What if we, like, we took like a moment, like a small clip from a movie or a TV show; something that like, an artist like really poured their soul into, and like, it just like took them years to make, and it was like an uphill battle the entire time, and then when they finally got the financing it was like, they made it! Like what if we took a moment from that and we kind of like, recontextualize it, like does that make sense, and like we put a completely arbitrary meaning onto that thing that the artist loves so much, kind of like degrading like its entire value? I just think that could be ind of a fun like bitchy thing to do. I’m like I’m so bored. I just kind of want to ruin someone’s life today. And then whoever can just say it’s theirs. Anyone can just steal it then. That could be fun, right?”
Grande wrote under it, in a since-deleted Instagram Story, “Omg can this please also double as your impression of the pony tail tik tok girls who think doing the cat valentine voice and that wearing winged eyeliner and a sweatshirt is doing a good impersonation of me … cause this really how it feels … ‘degrading it’s [sic] entire value’ I screamed.”
Grande’s deleted remark remains preserved in screenshots. Nothing ever dies on the internet.
