Ariana Grande performed at the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin’s funeral on Friday, she arrived with her fiance, Pete Davidson and her mother, Joan Grande.

Following Aretha’s death, Ariana performed “Natural Woman” on the The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. This performance was stunning just an fyi. She was then asked to perform the song at Franklin’s funeral.

During Ariana’s tribute to Aretha, her ex-boyfriend and Detroit native, Big Sean was seen standing in support of her performance. On a funny note, after Ariana finished, Bishop Charles H. Ellis III joked that when he saw her name he thought it was something new from Taco Bell and asked the audience to stand for the ‘icon’.
