The ARIANA GRANDE Case

ARIANA GRANDE CASE

Hi guys, so recently I’ve seen a lot of heat on a girl named Paige Niemann and, some of which, has come from Ariana Grande, herself. This is my opinion on the situation, we should not give either of these people hate and should learn to love each other a little bit more so take this with a pinch of salt. 

So, I have always pondered what it must be like living life as a celebrity and the pros and cons of that, which they come hand in hand in having a platform. I understand people impersonating you is, probably, ridiculous and disheartening. For example, recently youtubers dressed as Billie Eilish for the day and went in public pretending to be her. Billie Eilish addressed this and made a statement saying “Please stop this shit. It is not safe for you and it is mean to the people who don’t know any better. You’re making me look bad”. This, to me, is a reasonable response seen as these people were going out and in public and getting reactions and could potentially do anything, which equally could tarnish Billie Eilish’s reputation. 

So, I do understand why for any very famous person, like Ariana Grande, how this could be irresponsible of fans and tarnish a celebrities reputation very fast. I understand when you have worked so hard to put your image out there, how it could be very degrading and upsetting to see people copy, impersonate or mimick your look by impersonating you and copying your complete personality. It’s, obviously, going to take a toll on you, especially, when they become famous for your image. So, I don’t think Ariana’s opinion on the situation is incorrect or she shouldn’t feel that way because she is very much entitled to feel this way about her own life, look and reputation. 

However, Paige Niemann is a 16 year old girl, who makes Tik Tok videos impersonating Ariana Grande. Ariana Grande has clapped back more than once and, recently, called the impersonation “degrading it’s entire value, I’m screaming” on her instagram story. Ariana Grande has a very iconic and signature look and sound thus it is quite easy to impersonate the way she is. When you create such an iconic figure for yourself, of course, young people are going to copy that look and impersonate their idol. It’s part of being famous and honestly, being human. We all recreate things from something else, and copy everything we see in life to change the way we look. 

Obviously, I am aware that Paige Niemann impersonated Ariana Grande and Cat Valentine (from Victorious, played by Ariana Grande) every day of her life as she discussed that in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. However, this is a 16 year old girl. Someone so young should not have the heat put on her by someone with such a big platform. When she’s posting things herself, then getting hate on the internet is expected but she should not be getting attacked by her idol and the army that stands behind her. Her idol had no right to tear her down on social media, she’s a young girl. Ariana Grande has said in the past that she bets she’s “the sweetest sweet sweetheart” and was more polite about the impersonations when she first became aware, obviously, this has changed since Paige has had a bigger following. 

I just think it’s really upsetting that we’re not letting this young fan express herself how she wants to, but, also, making her realise she is her own person, she is beautiful and she doesn’t need to be Ariana Grande to be beautiful. Because that’s the saddest part, it was, probably, started as fun doing impressions and people telling her she looked like her idol but this has turned into her wanting to be just like Ariana. Ariana could have settled issues privately and, maybe, even the negative effects of what it was doing to her and what negative effects might come to Paige, however, instead she blasted her on social media. As celebrities, they all know about stan culture and cancel culture and they know how toxic it can be so name dropping a 16 year old girl is totally not cool, and really not okay. 

Overall, I hope Ariana Grande is doing okay and I hope Paige is doing okay. Do not give either person hate because it’s, really, not that worth it. We live in an age where everything is so based on social media, therefore if you look like one person or do an impression of a person once and it gets millions of hits it’s going to follow you around. However, be wise and be yourself.
