Ariana Grande gave her new single "No Tears Left to Cry" its national television debut on Tuesday's Tonight Show.

In fact, Tuesday's Tonight Show was an all-Ariana affair. Grande also surprised fans who thought they were being filmed solely for a fellow fan's video, showed off her Jennifer Coolidge impression, covered Drake and Kendrick during a round of Musical Genre Challenge, and detailed her upcoming new album.

"It was a really awesome experience," Grande said of working with Pharrell and Max Martin during the sessions for the new album, which she revealed Tuesday will be called Sweetener. "Because it's kind of about bringing light to a situation or to someone's life or somebody else who brings light to your life, sweetening the situation," she explained.
