Mormon influencer Nara Smith has issued a four-word response to Ariana Grande’s uncanny impression of her viral TikTok videos.
Nara, 23, shares three children with her husband and fellow model Lucky Blue Smith, 26, and often posts TikTok content that plays into the ‘tradwife’ trend.
Occasionally Nara has been trolled for her whispery, somnolent monotone, which often dips into the crackling register known as ‘vocal fry.’
This week Ariana posted a ‘get ready with me’ video in which she delivered a dead-on impersonation of Nara’s voice and her ‘made from scratch’ monologues.
When a fan asked Nara about the parody during an Instagram Q&A this Tuesday, she replied good-naturedly: ‘I saw and giggled.’

Nara has come in for brickbats in the past for her ‘tradwife’ content, as some viewers have slammed her for promoting an unattainable, old-fashioned lifestyle.
Her TikToks show her dressed to the nines, looking straight out of a 1950s magazine, while cooking dishes like waffles, pudding and cinnamon rolls from scratch.
Nara and Lucky have revealed they make their own toothpaste, and she even went viral for concocting her own homemade sunscreen.
She has denied speculation that she and Lucky secretly have a staff of helpers they have employed to prop up their do-it-yourself image.
Ariana gently ribbed Nara for the ‘made from scratch’ videos in her own ‘get ready with me’ video, taken as she prepared for this year’s Academy Museum Gala.
‘This is my first time doing voiceover, and it’s so much f***ing pressure,’ said Ariana. ‘This is so intense. All I can think of is Nara Smith.’
The phrase ‘love her [social media]’ popped up in text onscreen, as Ariana said in Nara’s voice: ‘And then when I got home from the Academy Gala, I made my kids some Capri Sun from scratch and I zested the lemons.’
In a recent TikTok video, Nara did indeed make a replica of multivitamin Capri Sun for her children in her kitchen, using ‘some pineapple, pears, apple, oranges and also some frozen cherries,’ all while dressed in a voluminous evening gown.

Tweaking the perception of herself as a traditional housewife, Nara has reminded fans she is a working mother as she and her husband are both professional models.
‘A lot of people don’t realize that Lucky and I are both models and we’ve been working since we were very young,’ she said pointedly on TikTok this August.
She has been married to Lucky since 2020 and, in addition to the three children they welcomed together, she is also stepmother to his seven-year-old daughter Gravity, whom he shares with his ex Stormi Henley.
Nara has also denied rumors she has full-time staff, saying: ‘What people think online is that we have housekeepers and cleaners and nannies and all of these things, when in reality it’s just me and Lucky wanting a family and sharing our lives online.’
She insisted that she and Lucky split up their parenting responsibilities equally and have a nanny only for a few hours each week, in a recent GQ profile.
Nara also disputed the image of herself as a repressed wife, saying: ‘It’s not about thinking: “Oh, I need to make my husband a meal right now, or he’ll be upset.”‘
Lucky described their marriage as a ‘a big partnership in every aspect of our lives,’ and Nara explained that although she cooks, her husband ‘does cleanup. Which I’m grateful for, because I hate that part.’
