ET sat down with the Tik Tok star to talk about her transformation into Grande.
Ariana Grande has nothing but love for her look-alike Paige Niemann.
Best known as the singer's doppelgänger who recreates her looks and scenes, ET's Katie Krause sat down with the 15-year-old Tik Tok star to talk about her transforming into the pop star and the sweet message Grande sent her.
"I started doing it for fun and now it's something that I do regularly, almost every day," Neimann shared. Her transformation into the "Thank U, Next" singer takes about an hour for makeup and 10 minutes to get the signature ponytail down. While she admits that people haven't mistaken her for Grande, they do come up to her and tell her she looks just like the former Nickelodeon star.
Flattered that people are fans of her Tik Tok videos and impersonation, Neimann was most shocked when the real-life Grande took notice of her account and reached out to her.
"I was so shocked that she noticed me. She's really nice and I kind of thought it was cool that she noticed me," Niemann expressed.
As for what Grande told her when she slid into her DM's: "She said, 'I'm flattered.' She wanted to let me know that I am beautiful in my own way and I said, 'Thank you and thank you for being so kind to me.' And she said, 'I'm proud of you.'"
"She reached out to me," Niemann said, adding, "I was shocked. She's my idol so I was shaking a little bit…She said, 'Let me know if you're ever going to my Sweetener Tour, we can grab a hug.'"
Neimann's love for Grande began in 2014, with Victorious being her favorite show, which she watches every day. She's hoping to be able to meet Grande one day, as well as follow in her footsteps.
"I would love to get into acting," she shared, although adding that she did not ask Grande for advice on how to make it in the industry.
