Ariana Grande is clearly online, as she — similar to everyone else these days — had a notable response to the numbers six and seven.
The pop icon and Wicked: For Good star engaged in a Variety Actors on Actors chat with Adam Sandler that was recently made public. A 6-7 meme-driven moment from that exchange has rapidly gone viral because of its relatability.
During the discussion, Sandler casually notes a sequence took “six or seven” shots. Much like a scene from The Office, the camera pans to Grande, whose eyes widen and brows furrow, as if expecting someone to create the meme. It is the look a teacher or parent would have, waiting for a child to excitedly exclaim “siiiiiiix seeeeven.”
If you aren’t familiar with the meme — congratulations — it truly is just as straightforward as articulating the two numbers in an exaggerated manner. It’s an absurd trend, but one that children love. The 6-7 meme has become so prevalent that Dictionary.com declared it the word of the year for 2025.
Sandler may not comprehend the significance of mentioning the two numbers, but it’s evident Grande understood precisely how the public would respond. In that instant, one of the world’s biggest stars was just like us.
