“I Have Nothing”

The 26-year-old singer wowed the nation, including then-president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama, with this Whitney Houston cover. You can tell the audience was deeply moved solely based on the looks on their faces. Not many musicians can pull off a song like this, but Ari did that!

“Don’t Dream It’s Over” With Miley Cyrus

In 2015, the “God Is a Woman” singer joined Miley Cyrus for an acoustic performance of Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over.” It’s evident how effortless singing is to not only Ariana, but also Miley. This cover led the two to form a special and close bond.

“The Way” Featuring Mac Miller

A few weeks after the tragic Manchester suicide bombing in May 2017, Ariana created the One Love Manchester benefit concert and had her then-boyfriend Mac Miller perform the first bop they ever worked on together. This was one of the last times they sang on stage together before his passing a little over a year later.

“No Tears Left to Cry”

After the benefit concert, Ariana stepped away from the spotlight until she released “No Tears Left to Cry” in April 2018. The following month, she returned to the stage for the first time since her hiatus and proved that despite what she’s been through, she’s not going anywhere, making this moment a super powerful one in her career.

“Imagine”

In December 2018, she took to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon once again to give yet another amazing performance, but this time from her latest album, Thank U, Next. Ari flaunts her amazing falsetto capabilities in “Imagine,” right before the three-minute mark. Listen for yourself. What can’t this girl do?!
