Ariana Grande has joined the ever-growing list of celebs to appear on Hot Ones, and fans can't get over the singer's impressive ability to keep her composure—even while eating some of the spiciest food on the planet.

While many stars have been taken down by the task of consuming progressively hotter wings while being interviewed by host Sean Evans, Grande barely flinched at the challenge (though the same couldn't be said for Evans).

On X, one fan credited her time on Nickelodeon for making the star so tough, writing: "Nickelodeon made them kids eat slime for years hot ones was never gonna break her."

Reddit users were similarly impressed with Grande's ability to withstand the heat.

"Damn. She’s a beast. Like basically no reaction. How?" one person wanted to know.

Grande did admit that the wings caused an intense sensation in her body.

"I'm fine with the spice so far but my body is like, 'What's this?'" she said.

Grande apparently "begged" to be a guest on the show, choosing vegan wings for her episode, and had no problem answering questions while sampling the punishing cuisine.

When asked about which songs she's tired of performing, Grande gave a thoughtful response.

“There was a time when it was hard for me to feel that same gratitude that I do now for certain songs and for the music, because I think some of it was a stressful time, and I think becoming a pop star is insane at 19 or 20," she said.

"And I think that experience was sort of married to some of the songs a little bit, or some of the songs that are more emotional that the experience that inspired them can be married to the music for me for a second. But with time and therapy, we sort of are able to re-embrace. So I just feel just really proud and grateful, and happy when I hear them. I’m like, ‘That’s a good song.’ Whereas I used to maybe hear it and cry, so that’s a beautiful thing.”
