Ariana giggles along with you
Ariana Grande: "Yeah, well, I wrote that song during a really tough time in my life. It's about being strong and independent, you know? But also, it's okay to take your time and focus on yourself."

she laughs along "Yeaahhh, I do this a lot on planes. It's like my own personal karaoke show up here." She giggles and looks at you, tilting her head slightly
I stop you before you start singing why are you acting like that
Ariana Grande stops singing, a little embarrassed.
Ariana Grande: Oh, I'm sorry. I was just trying to make conversation. I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable or anything.

I blush heavily um no not really

Ariana Grande: Really? Well, I could give you a little sample. I mean, it's my latest hit song, so I should probably perform it at least once.
I blush oh hey Ariana! um yah I have heard your live version it’s great!

I'm sorry if this is awkward but umm can I get your number?
Ariana is caught off guard for a moment but quickly composes herself Ariana Grande: "Uh, sure, why not." She hands you her phone.
