Ariana Grande and Bridesmaids’ ‘Espresso’ Isn’t So Great for the Groom

In another sketch, the pop singer imitates Celine Dion while making a UFC promo
Saturday Night Live host Ariana Grande and late night show cast members Sarah Sherman, Heidi Gardner and Ego Nwodim played bridesmaids who performed their own version of the Sabrina Carpenter song “Espresso”–but one which revealed too much to the groom about the group’s bachelorette party.
After describing the bride’s (Chloe Fineman) dance floor encounter with some guy named Domingo, they reveal in the next verse how she took off her ring.
“I just didn’t want to lose it in the hot tub!” she tells her husband, Matthew (Andrew Dismukes), much to his dismay. The song continues:
“At the Marriott, Googling Domingo / Just to make sure he’s not psycho
But he’s actually a doctor, and randomly a model / And he volunteers with weird sick animals.”
“The next day, she said nothing happened / they talked all night about you, Matthew
But then at brunch, she just starts crying / We ask her why, she says she just so tired.”
When Domingo (Marcello Hernandez) shows up to sing a verse, he has some bad news: Yes, the two definitely did hook up.
Grande, who was last on SNL as musical guest in March, channelled another singer later in the show: Céline Dion.
In making a promo for an upcoming UFC event–playing off of Dion’s Sunday Night Football promo–Grande sings about elbows, kicks and punches to the tune of “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now.”
“It’s all coming back to me…but maybe not to them because of the concussions, no?” she says, imitating Dion, in between verses.
