Ariana Grande may need to repeat that sentence one last time.
After all, the “Boy Is Mine” singer had fans buzzing after she appeared to switch between two different accents during an appearance on Penn Badgley‘s Podcrushed podcast.
In a clip from the June 12 episode, Ariana first joked in a deep tone of voice that she felt like Austin Powers while recording new music, telling the Gossip Girl alum, “That’s the only thing I thought of.” The 30-year-old then answered a question about releasing more songs following her Eternal Sunshine album, appearing to immediately switch to a much higher pitch when saying, “Yeah, I’ve been writing a lot. Maybe there’s some more. I would like to do a deluxe version at some point.”
Fans were quick to call attention to Ariana’s accent shift, with some expressing shock over the change-up.
“THE VOICE CHANGE OMG,” one user wrote on X, while another quipped, “Me when I have to use my customer service voice.”
Others didn’t see anything strange about the Grammy winner hopping between vocal inflections, noting that it’s probably a hazard of her job.
As one user put it, “It’s time people realize she is a VOCALIST ofc she’ll have multiple voices.”
