Ariana Grande gave fans the Disney performance they didn't even know they needed Thursday night.
Grande participated in ABC's "Disney Family Singalong" to perform "I Won't Say I'm in Love" from 1997's underrated "Hercules."
Grande didn't just sing the song. She went all out, giving fans an elaborate performance.
First of all, kudos to Grande for having the motivation to not only find an outfit that channeled Megara from "Hercules," but for also being able to do a full face of makeup during quarantine.
You could tell Grande has been waiting for the day to share her version of the song. She had the looks down.
But the most impressive part of the performance was that Grande not only played the part of Meg. She also channeled each of the five muses from the song. Grande outdid herself by giving fans a solo, six-part harmony rendition of the song.
She even gave fans different camera views of the six versions of herself singing together.
Fans were already talking up Grande's performance earlier in the day after seeing a brief tease of Grande's look. After the song aired on ABC Thursday, fans were impressed by Grande's talent and versatility.

Fans are convinced this was essentially Grande's audition tape for a live-action "Hercules." (The film is not currently one of the many reported Disney remakes the studio has in the works.)

If you're wondering how Grande was able to capture all of the footage of herself, Grande's manager Scooter Braun said the singer "sang all the parts and melodies on her iPhone." She then mixed it and shot all of the parts in one day.
Grande was one of many celebrities to participate in the hour-long Disney special. Josh Gad, Beyoncé, Demi Lovato, and the "High School Musical" crew reunited to perform Disney classics.
The ABC special was done in part with Feeding America to help raise awareness for the organization during the coronavirus pandemic.
