Everyone knows superstar singer Ariana Grande. But that's not Ariana Grande. It's Paige Niemann.
00:05
She's a social media personality and Ariana Grande impersonator who gained a lot of attention
00:10
for her uncanny resemblance to the pop star. Paige became a sensation on TikTok,
00:14
where she began posting videos in late 2019. Her videos often feature her lip-syncing to Ariana
00:20
Grande's songs while mimicking her style, makeup, and mannerisms. Her likeness to Ariana Grande
00:25
quickly went viral, leading to her now millions of followers across both TikTok and Instagram.
00:29
And it's no surprise why people can't look away from her. Paige has worked for
00:33
years to become Ariana's doppelganger, mimicking her voice and movements perfectly.
00:37
While it's clear that her massive base enjoys the impersonations,
00:40
many people have criticized Paige for riding Ariana Grande's fame.
00:44
She claims to not have gotten any plastic surgery to look like Ariana,
00:47
though many have accused her of it. She's posted videos of herself as a kid,
00:51
and many commenters have noted how much she looked like Ariana even in the past.
00:55
But when Paige posts evidence of herself without makeup,
00:57
people have commented that it must be the heavy Ariana look that transforms her.
01:01
Paige frequently gets hate on her page, with lots of people accusing her of
01:05
exploiting her resemblance to Ariana Grande for fame and financial gain.
01:09
Critics argue that her success is heavily reliant on another person's identity,
01:13
which raises questions about authenticity and the ethics of impersonation.
01:17
Especially since, now that Paige turned 18, she's taken to OnlyFans.
01:21
She's been posting NSFW photos to the private website at a price,
01:25
which people take serious issue with since she's profiting off of Ariana's likeness
01:29
and posting lewd photos essentially as Ariana, which Ariana didn't consent to.
01:34
And what does Ariana think? While Ariana Grande has acknowledged Paige's resemblance to her,
01:38
she has also expressed discomfort with the impersonation, particularly when
01:42
Paige mimicked not just her appearance, but also specific mannerisms and behaviors.
01:46
In one instance, Ariana Grande commented on a video of Paige lip-syncing to a soundbite
01:51
of her talking about a serious topic, expressing her disapproval,
01:55
which led to a wave of backlash against Paige from some of Grande's fans.
01:59
She also re-shared a comedian's video of impersonating a meme with the comment,
02:03
Can this please also double as your impression of the ponytail TikTok girls who think doing
02:07
the Cat Valentine voice and that wearing winged eyeliner and a sweatshirt is doing
02:11
a good impersonation of me, cause this is really how it feels, degrading its entire value.
02:16
After that shade, it seems Paige soured on Ariana, saying she was no longer a fan.
02:22
But commenters have pointed out that she's still impersonating her, so is she a fan or not?
02:28
Others have pointed out that this line of work may be unhealthy for Paige,
02:31
especially because of how closely she aligns her online persona with Ariana Grande.
02:36
You have to wonder what psychological effects that would have on her.
02:38
It seems that an early obsession with the pop star is what led Paige to start impersonating her,
02:44
along with the fact that she bears an uncanny resemblance.
02:46
Most recently, she cosplayed as Ariana in her new role of Glinda in Wicked,
02:51
which Ariana seemed to lose weight and get paler for. And people online were concerned.
02:55
As of now, her TikTok bio says she's not impersonating,
02:58
but her TikToks would suggest otherwise.
