Selena Gomez just hosted Saturday Night Live, and to no one's surprise, she was great.

She kicked off her clever opening monologue with a joke about her famous costars.

Selena Gomez saying, "I actually started acting when I was seven, and I've been lucky enough to work with some Hollywood icons, like Steve Martin, Martin Short... and Barney."

She said she asked a few of her famous friends for advice, including fellow Disney alumna Miley Cyrus. This gave Selena a chance to bust out her Miley impression which was, frankly, shocking in its accuracy.

Selena Gomez saying, "I asked one of my oldest friends, Miley Cyrus, and she said... *Miley voice* 'Just be yourself and have fun.'"

She only did a couple of sentences as Miley, but if you closed your eyes, you might think that Miley had somehow teleported into the studio.

Selena admitted that the monologue was a transparent excuse to show off her impression, but we'd all do the same thing in her shoes.

Selena Gomez saying, "I was like, 'Miley, is that just an excuse for me to do an impression of you on the show?' And she said, 'Hell yeah. I'm Miley Cyrus.'"
NBC

She wrapped up the monologue by joking about looking for love at SNL, and cited some famous couples who met on the show.

Selena Gomez saying, "I've heard that SNL is a great place to find romance. Emma Stone met her husband here, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, Pete and... Machine Gun Kelly."
