Ariana Grande might be sweet and humble, but she also knows she’s got pipes.

The 26-year-old Sweetener singer posted a video to Instagram this week of her singing at one of her concerts. The since-deleted clip was mind blowing, with Grande hitting crazy high notes with seemingly no effort at all.

Fans immediately started gushing over the video, calling Grande an “angel” and the “Mariah Carey of this generation.”

But, of course, there had to be a few trollish sticks-in-the-mud. E! News reports that one user commented on the video, “It sounds like autotune and probably not live. I mean you are a great singer and I love your voice and songs but this doesn't sound live."

Grande quickly shut down the hater, replying:

“Naw with all due respect, i could do this in your living room for you, fam. with no sound mixing or help at all," she said. "i could do it on broadway (and did). i can do it in the shower. in the car. its my gift / it's why I'm her. i sing 30+ songs a night. every word. its my thing. let me shine damn.”

Though we are so glad she did, Grande didn’t really need to clap back at the troll; her amazing vocals already do that for her.
