From Ariana to Taylor: All the weird celebrity impersonators that went too far

The world of celebrity impersonators is a very strange one indeed. Some of them will give you serious uncanny valley vibes, and it’s a surprise celebs are okay with somebody looking exactly like them. It would definitely freak the ordinary person out so here’s a rundown of all the weird and wild celebrity impersonators that went too far.

Paige Niemann’s wild impersonation of Ariana Grande has sparked criticism across the internet after she stepped out as the singer for the Hollywood premiere of Companion earlier this week.

Paige became famous in 2019 when she recreated Ariana Grande’s role as Cat Valentine in Victorious and Sam and Cat. Her hair, makeup, and mannerisms resemble those of Ariana Grande, and many people have criticised her for starting an OnlyFans page.

In 2019, Paige claimed that Ariana Grande loved the impersonations and was “proud” of her, though things seemed to have changed now.

“She reached out to me, I was shocked. She’s my idol so I was shaking a little bit… she said, ‘let me know if you’re ever going to my Sweetener Tour, we can grab a hug’… she wanted to let me know that I am beautiful in my own way and I said ‘thank you and thank you for being so kind to me.’ And she said, ‘I’m proud of you,” she told Entertainment Weekly back then.

In a recent lie detector test with Variety, Ariana said she wanted to “confront” the impersonations in a “fun way.” This might be an ongoing saga.

Ashley Leechin, who bears a very similar resemblance to Taylor Swift, has received a lot of public backlash, especially for her infamous No it’s Ashley video. Taylor Swift has never publicly addressed her impersonators, and we don’t even know if she knows Ashley exists. Although, Tay is known for being a chronic online lurker when it comes to her fans, so who knows?

Ashley even went as far as to hire her own security. She really could pass for Taylor in this video!

Although she doesn’t seem to be causing any controversy, Rose Cohen looks EXACTLY like Rihanna. If I walked past her in the street I genuinely would not be able to tell the difference. How crazy!
