Ariana Grande Joked She’d Marry Pete Davidson The Moment They Met, Sang A Tribute To Aretha Franklin

Ariana Grande continues to thrive. Her album just dropped, she’s in love and just last night, she appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and performed a tribute to Aretha Franklin. Of The Queen of Soul, Ariana said (via People Magazine) “she was so cute”, and now all I want to do is scream into the void. Hello? Is anybody out there?

Ariana also talked about having a crush on her fiance (they haven’t yet earned the grave accent) Pete Davidson, well before they started dating. When you’re young and in love, sometimes you just know it. Much like Pete knew it when he first met Ariana. Oh, and by the way, Aretha Franklin died and Ariana Grande sang the Tonight Show tribute.

The Roots Trolled Donald Trump On The Tonight Show

Jimmy Fallon earned an eternal side-eye from myself and the many, many others when he played cutesy with the Dorito-toned  crazy currently running for POTUS during an interview on The Tonight Show. As he massaged Donald Trump’s hair like a desperate rub n’ tug parlor worker with the rent due, you could almost read the “I’m covering my ass just in case he wins” in his face. But not everyone on The Tonight Show followed Jimmy’s lead and kissed Trumps ass. The Tonight Show’s house band The Roots took a cue from Trump’s wall idea if and performed a short selection from an Erykah Badu song with an appropriate lyric when he walked out. via Entertainment Weekly

The Roots welcomed Trump to the stage with a short rendition of Erykah Badu’s “20 Feet Tall.” As the former reality television host took the stage, singer Black Thought sang, “Then you, you built a wall/ A 20-foot wall so I couldn’t see.” A major part of Trump’s platform is a proposed plan to build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border if elected president.

You can see The Roots’ troll move at the 11:30 mark below below:

This isn’t the first time that The Roots has used a song to express their true feelings about a guest. When Michelle Bachmann appeared on the show in 2011, they played a bit of Fishbone’s “Lyin’ Ass Bitch.”

Maybe The Roots can take Jimmy aside and teach him how to perfectly shade and troll a guest to their face?
