For lack of better words: oooooh-wee!!!
Since Mariah officially confirmed the guest appearances of Jennifer Hudson and Ariana Grande on her Apple TV+ Christmas special, I know that I, personally, have been brimming with anticipation to hear their three powerhouse voices blend!

All I want for Christmas is this collab!
And it appears that I'm not the only one. Ariana herself decided to show her excitement for the upcoming special by posting her own version of "How it started vs. how it's going" β a meme format that has been sweeping Twitter the past few weeks.

And lemme tell you, that right there is #GROWTH, ladies and gents!

Kelli knows what's up.
Since early in her career, Ariana's voice and style of singing have often been compared to the great Mariah, and now that they're singing TOGETHER, it's truly come full circle!
