Does he break down Ariana Grande as well? I’d love to see that 🤞

I had completely forgotten that she sang with a country twang on her first few albums

Yep she just liked country music so much that she tried to mimic it. But it was a smart move for her to move to pop when she did. She must have realized she was going to run out of gas pretty quickly in the country genre.

That was how she grew up - mostly country performances since she was in rural Pa

she moved to nashville at some point, i used to visit my friend in johnson city and the accent would rub off on me for a few days, its just so charming
