Ariana Grande and James Corden’s much-awaited “Carpool Karaoke” episode arrived on Aug. 15, and during the show, Grande received a hilarious piggyback ride from “The Late Late Show” host while visiting a Starbucks in Los Angeles.

In the car, the duo talked about one of Grande’s Instagram posts from March, 2014 of her being carried after a long day of shooting.
“There was a picture of me being carried by my tour manager. I had just shot a music video in point shoes and I posted it because I thought it was cute,” said Grande. “My toes were bleeding. I was in pain.”
After clarifying to Corden that despite the rumors, she doesn’t normally demand to be carried everywhere, Grande implied she was hungry and asked for something to eat.
The video then showed the car stop in front of a Starbucks, where Corden hopped out of the car and offered to carry Grande.
The whole time the pair were inside Starbucks, Grande joked that she’s the kind of pop star who needs to be carried everywhere, while employees and patrons laughed and pulled out their phones to capture them on camera.
But the size of the soy latte she ordered also cracked people up—because of course it was a grande!
