The 21-year-old popstar took center court during halftime of the 2015 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night. It was just the latest feather in her cap, after being named Billboard’s Women in Music Rising Star of 2014, along with receiving two Grammy nominations.

Ariana Grande came out wearing some Brooklyn Nets colors, with a number of backup dancers surrounding her.

If that wasn’t enough to get people excited, Grande was dancing around in a tiny little cheerleader outfit.

Appropriate.

For Ariana Grande’s big moment on Sunday, she decided to bring out a special guest performer for her set.

In what really comes as a surprise to no one, that special guest was none other than Nicki Minaj, as the duo performed the hit song “Bang Bang.”

And, of course, the two got very friendly on stage.

At the half, the West All-Stars lead the East All-Stars, 83-82.

Russell Westbrook leads the way with 27 points and eleven field goals made — both NBA All-Star Game records — in 11 minutes. In the second half, you can expect much of the same scoring to take place as the highlights keep on coming and the defense continues to be non-existent.
