Tyra Banks recently gave Ariana Grande's signature hairstyle her coveted seal of approval.
On Wednesday, the supermodel tweeted a photo of Ariana Grande, praising her ponytail and using the hashtag #GrandeFierceness.
Grande then quote-tweeted the praise and asked Banks what she would do if Grande were to appear on a makeover episode of "America's Next Top Model."
—Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) February 6, 2019"i always wondered what you'd do w my hair on the makeover episodes," Grande wrote. "i'm scared to know. but also. tell me. please. i won't do it. but please tell me. love u."
Banks replied to Grande's query with three important points.
"Ari boo, 1st: I love you and if I wasn't my height, I'd wanna be yours," Banks wrote. For context on this slightly random aside: Grande is 10 inches shorter than Banks.
"2nd: I teach Personal Branding at [Stanford] and on day one, my lecture touches on the power of your pony," Banks continued. "An iconic, visual cue to the world that identifies you! 3rd: You betta not touch that tail."

—Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) February 6, 2019Banks is known for making young models cry and panic on the makeover episodes of "ANTM," during which she and her stylists commands full control of the contestants' hair.
The aspiring models will often emerge from the makeover episodes with much shorter hair or aggressively dyed locks.
The approval is good news for Grande, as the pop star is rarely seen without her sleek, high ponytail. She adopted the now-iconic style as a comfortable way to deal with her bleach-damaged hair.
From 2010 to 2013, Grande played Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon's series "Victorious." The character had red hair, which meant Grande was bleaching and dyeing her hair frequently. In 2014, Grande began wearing the high ponytail as her music career was taking off.
By 2016, she was sticking with the ponytail and told Byrdie the look brings her endless joy.
"I had no idea that it was going to become, like, a thing," Grande said. "Every time I put my hair up, it's like a surprise. Like, I forget how much I love it, and then I tie it back and I'm like, 'I love this look! Ooh, girl!' Every time I tie it up is like the first time. It's like true love."
