Seeing as we are in the thick of the movement of Ariana Grande appreciation, what better time for fans to resurface a majestic video of our pop-star galpal giving us her best impression of an Aussie accent?
Because even though vocal impressions are Ariana Grande’s ‘thing’, her Steve Irwin impression definitely misses the mark. Thank you for trying Ari but this is a hard no on the accuracy front. But five stars for being adorable and giving it a crack.

People are going wild over the video since it was posted on Twitter on the weekend, though it’s from 2016 and actually seems to be filmed by her then boyfriend Mac Miller.
In the video she narrates her hunt around the wilderness (of a garden), Steve Irwin stye, looking for bugs and chatting about reindeers. Because apparently that is relevant to an Australian impression. Because no one really knows what goes on down here let’s be honest.
I love her for trying but damn this accent really does not sound like us, hey! At times she’s nearly achieving an extreme lad Aussie accent, but most of the time it’s closer to a New Zealand accent or The Good Place’s terrible Aussie accents.
why does she sound like a lad kdhdjd

And putting aside the fact that this guy doesn’t know who Ariana Grande is (for shame!), he makes a good point about the resemblance of Ari’s accent to that of a South African local. So close but so far.
is this the american pop singer? if this is her Australian accent I suggest moving to South Africa.

But not even a 2016 video of Ariana Grande failing at being Aussie can make us stop loving her because watching her try is pretty damn adorable.
