Ariana Grandeknows how to keep moving on, even when she stumbles.
As Grande entertained the crowd, she lost and regained her footing while stepping down from a chair. “Oh my God,” she said before launching right back into the song. A moment later, she slipped in a laugh as she crooned the empowering lyric, ” ‘Cause her name is Ari / And I’m so good with that.”
Grande and her backup performers,Victoria Monetand Tayla Parx, channeled the 1996 movie starringBette Midler,Goldie HawnandDiane Keatonin all-white outfits. They performed in front of white tables laden with flowers and a faux cake, just like the beloved film’s last scene in which the women sing “You Don’t Own Me.” Grande, Money and Parx even emulated most of the movie’s choreography.
