Paige Niemann (born 2003/04[1]) is an American Internet personality. In 2019, she went viral on the video sharing app TikTok for her resemblance to the American singer Ariana Grande.[2]
Early life
Paige Niemann was born in 2003 or 2004.[1] She is from California, United States, and was home-schooled. Niemann is half Sicilian and half German.[1] Niemann stated that she was told she resembled American singer, songwriter, and actress Ariana Grande several years before she gained attention for it online.[1]
Career
At the age of twelve, Niemann started posting selfies and videos of herself dressed as Grande on musical.ly (now TikTok). Starting in 2017, she took a hiatus from the app and subsequently returned in 2019.[1] That year, Niemann went viral and many TikTok users dubbed her Grande's doppelgänger.[3][4][5]
In her videos, Niemann dresses and styles herself similar to Grande. She also emulates that singer's mannerisms.[1]
Grande responded to a video in which Niemann, dressed as a 2019 version of the singer, lip-synced to dialogue by Cat Valentine (whom Grande portrayed from 2010 until 2014 in the Nickelodeon series Victorious and Sam & Cat). Grande said, "it's definitely bizarre seeing people blend the two worlds".[1][6] Grande later described her impersonators as "degrading" after Niemann recreated her wedding photos.[7]
In September 2022, Niemann was criticized for starting an OnlyFans account; fans reportedly found the account misleading and distateful for attempting to impersonate Grande.[7][8]
