As headlines go, Aretha Franklin’s death has gripped on a global scale.

Yet, as the age old adage relays – the show must go on and such is the case for Ariana Grande who sprinkled new album ‘Sweetener’ on the masses today.

True to form, the powerhouse vocalist is leaving no stone unturned and her latest stop was The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

During her appearance, Grande paid homage to the Queen of Soul by teaming up with The Roots for a live showing of ‘Natural Woman.’ She also spoke about her encounters with the legend.

Elsewhere, she opened up about her LP, her engagement to comedian Pete Davidson, teaming with Madonna for the ‘God Is A Woman’ video, and more.

All the Ari action awaits after the jump…
