Ariana Grande's viral 6-7 moment in her Adam Sandler conversation shows, yes, she's online
Ariana Grande is clearly logged-on because she — like everyone else online these days — had a visceral reaction to the numbers six and seven.
The pop star and Wicked: For Good lead filmed a Variety & CNN Actors on Actors conversation with Adam Sandler that recently dropped. A 6-7 meme-fueled moment from that talk has quickly gone viral because it's super relatable.
In the conversation, Sandler offhandedly mentions a sequence took "six or seven" shots. Almost like a scene from The Office, the camera pans to Grande, whose eyes go wide and brows furrow, as if awaiting someone to do the meme. It is the face a teacher or parent would make, awaiting a kid to jump at the chance to scream "siiiiiiix seeeeven."

If you don't know the meme — first of all, congrats — it really is just as simple as saying the two numbers in an exaggerated manner. It's a nonsense trend, but one kids love. The 6-7 meme has become so prevalent that Dictionary.com decided it was 2025's word of the year.
Sandler might be unaware of what he did when he mentioned the two numbers, but it's clear Grande knew exactly how the public would respond. And in that moment, one of the world's biggest stars was just like us.
