Ariana Grande twins lookalikes

- –Channel24

LOS ANGELES - Students, Mackenna and Taylor Patterson-Hall (20), from Ontario, Canada, have gained a remarkable 40 000 followers on TikTok for looking and dressing like musician Ariana Grande.

First posting on the app Musical. ly around five years ago, it didn’t take long for the pair to be compared to Ariana.

However, it wasn’t until 2019 that Taylor and Mackenna fully embraced the resemblanc­e and started to copy the singer’s style, posting their transforma­tion on TikTok. The sisters are big Ariana fans, and both love fashion, so it felt like a natural progressio­n.

The look requires maintenanc­e – the girls apply fake tan throughout the week to match Ariana, and both wear long ponytail extensions to mimic the singer’s trademark style.

The sisters have always loved dressing identicall­y, as they are very close, and they like the attention it gets.

The attention has resulted in some brand deals on social media, plus a significan­t following across various social media platforms.

Unfortunat­ely, not all the attention is positive. The duo has received death threats from devout Ariana Grande fans, who accuse the pair of copying the singer.

Taylor and Mackenna think these comments are ridiculous and insist that there’s nothing wrong with styling themselves however they want.

The pair plan to continue recreating Ariana’s outfits and style on their social media accounts under the name Pink Sweetener.

“We were fans of Ariana Grande for a really long time, but as we got older, we started really liking her style.’’
