Ariana Grande joined James Corden for an incredible ‘Hairspray’ parody to celebrate the end of mass lockdowns. Ariana had that newlywed glow in a gorgeous yellow dress.
Leave it to Ariana Grande and James Corden to come up with yet another epic musical number. In honor of COVID-19 statistics improving because of vaccinations efforts, James enlisted Ariana and Hairspray star Marissa Jaret Winokur for a Hairspray parody titled “No Lockdowns Anymore.” The musical number is a parody of the hit Hairspray song “Good Morning Baltimore.”
James begins the musical number by singing about the vaccine. He brings up brunch, turning off Zoom, and the one and only Anthony Fauci. Ariana soon joins him in a bright yellow dress with matching tights and tall heels.

She sings about not being scared to cut her hair anymore and crosses paths with Marissa, the original star of the Broadway production of Hairspray. “Making plans is like sex to me,” Ariana sings as she and James get excited about embracing “all that life has in store” after a year of being cooped up due to lockdowns.
