Ariana Grande will perform at Aretha Franklin’s funeral Friday. A spokesperson for the Franklin family said, “Aretha was fond of her,” and they were impressed by her rendition of “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, Jennifer Hudson, and others are also set to perform.
Meantime, Ariana is now only the fourth female artist to chart 10 songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 chart following the release of her album, “Sweetener.”
