Right like she’s so angry she’s stuttering it was such cute delivery

[@gregthealien9981]

I get that, sort of. Think it would have been funnier had she said it correctly from the jump. The cute passive-aggression would have been even more pronounced had it not been mixed with the 'oh shit, Ariana just messed up a line'.

[@jameslarimer9211]

I don't get how it's passive agressive.

[@rhettmitchell]

I feel like that probably was the actual line. Like maybe she was supposed to stumble over the metaphor as the character in order to make it feel more lighthearted for the charades game
