In what may be the most quintessentially [Ariana Grande](http://time.com/4342189/ariana-grande-talks-successful-women/) outfit complete with giant Minnie Mouse bow, the style blogger toured Disney World and posed for photos with several people who assumed she was the “Problem” singer. Though that high ponytail was in effect and she appears to play into the role, in the video, the blogger audibly corrects several of the park goers who ask her if she’s Grande. The blogger has insisted that she wasn’t intentionally impersonating the star, but for the people who were overwhelmed by their bliss at the sight of a girl that looked a lot like her, it was picture time. Addressing fan concerns, Grande [tweeted](https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/759846586964807680?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw), “yeah, that’s just not cool. I feel very badly for those guys and wish I could meet them now somehow.” Watch the video below. (The Ariana Grande portion doesn’t start until four minutes in.) In a recent subsequent video, addressing people who take issue with her video, the vlogger said, “I’m not trying to be \[Ariana Grande\], I didn’t go to Disney to be her, it wasn’t a prank. It was just something that happened.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4444723/ariana-grande-disney-world-jess-chic-youtube/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4444723/ariana-grande-disney-world-jess-chic-youtube/"},"headline":"People at Disney World Were Convinced This Girl Was Ariana Grande","datePublished":"2016-08-09T15:02:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:15.615Z","description":"\"It wasn't a prank\"","url":"https://time.com/4444723/ariana-grande-disney-world-jess-chic-youtube/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","celebrities","Disney","Ariana Grande"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4444723/ariana-grande-disney-world-jess-chic-youtube/","name":"People at Disney World Were Convinced This Girl Was Ariana Grande"}}]}] ```
