Valkyrae or Ariana Grande? YouTuber's recent post leaves fans awestruck

Fans of Rachell "Valkyrae" Hofstetter recently mistook her for pop star Ariana Grande after sharing a post that bore a striking resemblance to the "Positions" hitmaker.

The 29-year-old YouTuber took to Twitter to reveal an all-new hairdo. Based on the caption, it appears to be temporary. Fans are speculating that it's most likely for a music video that she has been shooting recently.

I’ll never have hair like this again but it’s so pretty 😭❤️ pic.twitter.com/gKJCX3frW2
