During her opening monologue, Ariana was joined on stage by SNL cast member Kate McKinnon.

Since Kate‘s such a big fan of West Side Story, she and Ariana started singing a bunch of songs from the musical, including “Tonight,” “I Feel Pretty,” and “America.”

At one point, Ariana showed off her Mamba dancing skills, but when it was Kate‘s turn to dance, she jokingly said, “oh no, they already know I dance.”
