Ariana Grande lookalike Paige Niemann has sparked concern over her petite figure and was accused of drastically losing weight to keep up with the singer.
In a recent video shared on her TikTok page, the 20-year-old internet personality and Onlyfans creator dressed up as Ariana’s evil character, Glinda, from Jon M. Chu’s recently released film adaptation of the Broadway musical.
Dressed up as the star in a pink and white striped button-up dress and a ruffled pink shirt, Paige lip-synced to the production’s famous hit, What Is This Feeling?
Although it appeared to be just an innocent upload, the video raised alarm bells for some of his followers.
Many people took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their concerns about her thin physique, with some wondering if she had lost weight just to look like Ariana.
One viewer wrote: “The fact that she went so far as to lose weight to still look like Ari is so confusing… imprisoning her.”
Another agreed, adding: ‘Yeah, I’m so glad someone finally talked about it because the losing weight part?’ Because? Do you like to lose weight to look like Ari? Hello?’
“He needs help,” said a third.
Ariana Grande lookalike Paige Niemann has sparked concern over her petite figure and was accused of drastically losing weight to keep up with the singer.
People on X were wondering if she lost weight just to look like Ariana (seen earlier this month).
Echoing a similar sentiment, a fourth user posted: “I swear this is so worrying…”
A fifth wrote: “I don’t want to assume that’s what she did, but she does it without fail, looking exactly like Ariana in every style phase she’s gone through, right down to a similar weight and appearance.” “It’s really worrying behavior.”
Others, however, couldn’t help but notice how much Paige looked like Ariana.
“The fact that this isn’t Ariana Grande is scary,” one said, while another commented, “Wait, so this isn’t Ariana Grande?”
Ariana’s lookalike Paige was first compared to the chart-topping star in her schoolyard when she was just 10 years old.
Four years and a million TikTok followers later, the striking brunette found her own online fame in 2014 thanks to her uncanny resemblance.
In 2019, the California native said that after asking her mother to do her hair and makeup like the God Is A Woman singer, she began learning the beauty tricks herself.
And the more she posted on Instagram, the more she attracted the attention of Ariana fans around the world.

But Ariana may not be a fan, as she once called people who imitate her.strange.’
The former Nickelodeon star has raised concerns about her petite figure in recent months.
Earlier this month, she choked back tears when a French influencer and journalist asked her how she “deals” with criticism about her appearance and overall beauty standards.
Ariana said she has been dealing with the “noise” since she was a teenager.
He added that since then he learned to ignore criticism by relying on his work and his friends.
“I’ve been doing this in front of the public… a sample in a petri dish since I was 16 or 17. So I’ve heard it all,” he said.
‘I have heard all versions of what is happening to me. And then you fix it and then it’s wrong for different reasons, but that’s it, even the simplest thing, your appearance, you’re young and you’re hearing all those things.
‘It’s hard to protect yourself from that noise. And it’s something that’s uncomfortable no matter what scale you’re experiencing.

In 2020, California native Paige (left) used Ariana’s Bring It On costume (right) as inspiration for a look.
‘Even if you go to Thanksgiving dinner and someone’s grandmother says, “Oh my God, you look thinner! What happened?” or “You look heavier! What happened?” That’s an uncomfortable and horrible thing, no matter where it’s happening, no matter the scale at which it’s happening. I think in today’s society there is a comfort that we shouldn’t have at all.
‘Commenting on others’ appearance, what they think happens behind the scenes, or their health, or how they present themselves… from what you’re wearing to your body, your face, and your everything.’
He defiantly called the “comfort” people feel in “commenting” on people’s appearances “dangerous.”
“People feel comfortable commenting on that and I think it’s really dangerous.” And I think it’s dangerous for all parties involved,” he said.
