Celine Dion's enthusiastic reaction to Ariana Grande's impression showcases the legendary singer's incredible sense of humor and graciousness, proving she's a true fan who appreciates tribute performances from younger artists.
Sources close to the situation note that Celine apparently couldn't stop thinking about Ariana's impression for months—she literally tracked down Frankie in Vegas specifically to tell him how hard she laughed. That's not standard celebrity politeness; that's genuine obsession with a bit.
Frankie appeared on The Tonight Show June 11, 2026 and told Jimmy Fallon that Celine Dion ran up to him in Vegas saying: 'I was laughing so hard I peed myself. I peed.' Ariana's Eternal Sunshine tour kicked off with a three-show run in Oakland, CA on June 6-8, hitting Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 13.
Celine Dion literally losing control of her bladder over Ariana Grande's impression is the level of cultural validation most performers only dream about. Move over, Grammy nominations—apparently wetting yourself from laughter is the ultimate seal of approval.
Move over, Grammy Awards—there's a new benchmark for artistic achievement in show business, and apparently it involves losing control of your bladder. Frankie Grande dropped an absolute bombsell on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday night (June 11), revealing that Celine Dion was so overcome by his sister Ariana's impression of her that the Canadian songstress literally couldn't hold it. Frankie, never one to shy away from a dramatic retelling, described the moment in vivid detail.
"The first time I met Celine Dion was right after Ariana was on your show and she did her Celine impersonation," he told Fallon. "And so I was there in Vegas and Celine comes literally running up to me and she's like, 'Oh my God, Frankie, you have to tell your sister when she did me on Jimmy Fallon I peed.' She goes, 'I was laughing so hard I peed myself.
I peed.'" The image of the legendary "My Heart Will Go On" singer sprinting across a Vegas venue to share this particular confession is frankly iconic behavior that nobody asked for but everyone desperately needed. But here's where things get interesting—this wasn't some one-off bit that Celine forgot about. Ariana has been perfecting her Dion impression for years, serving up memorable performances everywhere from The Tonight Show to Saturday Night Live.
Her greatest hits include belting the Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face" while doing a pitch-perfect Dion impression back in 2015, dueting with Fallon on the Beauty and the Beast theme song in full Dion mode, and most recently, absolutely destroying a fake UFC theme song sketch on SNL in 2024. The woman has range, and Celine clearly noticed every single time. For those wondering if this mutual admiration goes both ways, wonder no more—Ariana already proved she's a true Dion disciple back in 2018 when she sang part of Celine's 1989 power ballad "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" during an episode of Carpool Karaoke.
That's not casual fandom; that's committing the classics to memory and performing them on national television. The respect between these two powerhouses runs deep, and now we finally have confirmation that Celine returns those feelings in the most bodily-function-disclosing way possible. Meanwhile, Frankie had plenty of his own projects to plug beyond just embarrassing celebrity anecdotes about his little sister.
He's currently touring with Titaníque, the Tony-nominated Celine Dion/Titanic parody that's been delighting theater kids and pop culture obsessives alike. The man is living his best life performing as a backup dancer in a show that literally sank an iceberg-grammable ship while blasting "My Heart Will Go On." He's also promoting Supergay! A Memoir, because apparently there was still more juice to squeeze from the Grande family tree this week.
