Ariana Grande Unleashes Her Inner 'Dangerous Woman' During 'SNL' Performance | HuffPost

Ariana Grande performs "Dangerous Woman" on "Saturday Night Live," March 12, 2016.

When Ariana Grande wasn't saving Tidal with her musical impressions on this week's "Saturday Night Live" or swearing during her monologue, she was showing the world exactly why she's a singer.

The 22-year-old, who acted as both host and musical guest on the comedy show this weekend, absolutely slayed her performances. Not even Larry David flubbing her name threw her off her game. And a slight wardrobe malfunction? Forget about it.

First up was the new single "Dangerous Woman," the sultry title track from her upcoming album. Grande's vocals were on point -- smooth, clear and powerful. Clearly she's been working on her pronunciation, which she poked fun at during her opening monologue.

Grande's second song was "Be Alright," another number from her forthcoming album. Accompanied by a troupe of voguers, the pop star belted out the upbeat track with ease and danced along with the crew, her ponytail swinging behind her.

After these performances, we're definitely looking forward to Grande's new album, which comes out May 20.
