Ariana Grande: 'I thought Imogen Heap's dinner invite was a joke'
Ariana Grande feared she was going to be murdered when she went to Imogen Heap's house for dinner.
The 22-year-old singer is a huge fan of British singer-songwriter Imogen, and was blown away when she was invited over to her house while in the UK recently.
But as she traveled to Imogen's house, Ariana began to become
concerned that she was being 'Catfished' - and it was actually a
random person pretending to be Imogen rather than the singer
herself.
"My all time favorite artist is Imogen Heap. I love her, I'm
obsessed with her," Ariana told Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night
(14Jan16). "She's incredible, she's a genius and I've loved her
forever. There was an email that came in that was like, 'Hey,
Imogen heard that Ariana has a concert in the UK and would like to
have her over for dinner'. And I was like, 'Oh my god, this isn't
real!'
"And I was on my way to her house and it was a really long, long
drive and eventually I thought I was being Catfished. I thought it
wasn't going to happen. I was like, 'She doesn't want to have
dinner with me, is this all a joke? I'm driving to my death right
now, I'm going to be murdered'. And it ended up being her and it
was a pleasant surprise!"
Ariana added she was so overwhelmed by the prospect of meeting her
idol that she ended up becoming incredibly withdrawn, barely saying
anything. In fact, the whole evening was "such a blur" that she
can't even remember what meal Imogen had prepared for her.
"She cooked for me, it was really nice," Ariana continued. "I
forget what the meal was - the whole night was really a blur, I was
really shy the whole time - I don't think i said anything. I was
actually convinced that I had died and that was a dream."
