Ariana Grande Surprises Unsuspecting Fans as They Belt Out 'One Last Time' on The Tonight Show
Ariana Grande has some of the best vocal pipes in the business, and during her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon she offered encouragement to fans with singing aspirations.
Jimmy Fallon teamed up with the “Dangerous Woman” diva to surprise some Arianators backstage at the NBC studios in New York’s Rockefeller Center. Believing that they were filming a fan compilation video, the unsuspecting individuals began belting out Grande’s hit “One Last Time” — only to be shocked mid-song by the singer herself!
Some screamed. Some laughed. Some kept right on singing. There were hugs, there were tears, and there were a few impromptu duets featuring Grande and some very surprised vocal hopefuls.

In addition, she performed a special version of the song, accompanied by Fallon and The Roots on Nintendo Labo‘s line of cardboard instruments.
