Ariana Grande lookalike has certainly mastered the high ponytail

A dangerous resemblance.

By now, the internet is well-versed in identifying celebrity doppelgängers. And thanks to a few smart styling tricks, 20-year-old Jacky Melissa Vasquez is among the most convincing.

According to Seventeen, Vasquez has been a fan of Ariana Grande for years, starting when the singer was still a Nickelodeon kid. So when high school classmates told her she resembled Cat Valentine, Grande's character on Victorious, Vasquez leaned into the look.

Now, thanks to a high ponytail, thick winged eyeliner and a few trademark poses, the two are nearly indistinguishable.

If Ari ever needs a good impersonator or a break from being a celebrity, we recommend giving Vasquez a call.
