Hey babes, it's Paris Hilton. So I was checking my points balance in the Hilton honors app the other day, and yeah, I've got about a billion which feels excessive, even for me. Just kidding. You can never have too many Hilton honors points, and I want to do something iconic this summer, so I'm giving away all my Paris points. Just find somewhere you've always wanted to stay, then go to my socials or Hilton's and tell me about it. Just make sure you're a Hilton honors member, and I might be sending you Paris points, because when you want points that make your summer even hotter, it matters where you stay.

**Sophie** (1:30)
Hey everybody, welcome back to Snark Bait. I'm Sophie.

**Christy** (1:33)
I'm Christy. And it has been two weeks since you and I recorded together.

**Sophie** (1:38)
I know, we're recording on Thursday, July 9th. So even though you guys will hear DT before this, this is our first time recording together in quite some time, which is very exciting. I am excited to be back. I'm feeling relaxed and rested after my little vacay. So yeah, we're back. How have you been?

**Christy** (2:00)
Oh my God.
I want to hear all about Curacao. We could probably, should we talk about it on DT?

**Sophie** (2:05)
We can talk about it on DT, because you guys will hear that, I guess, first. But yeah, all you need to know, it was a good time. Highly recommend Curacao. It's a beautiful, beautiful island with beautiful, kind people, amazing food. The weather was great, got a little bit sunburnt. So if you're watching on video, don't judge my peeling skin a little bit on my nose.
But trust me, I was good with the sunscreen. I was very, very, very good. And I still got burnt. The sun is pretty strong down there. So just a warning.

**Christy** (2:41)
Sometimes you can't avoid it. Like if you're not wearing a hat, usually it's like, well, it's unrealistic to apply sunscreen every hour. I know what that's what like doctors recommend.

**Sophie** (2:50)
No, but I literally did. I literally did. And it's so funny because Henry is so pale that I'm like, you know what, I'm the tan one in our couple, even though I'm the palest person in my family. My entire family is like olive skin, like dark hair. You've met Mandy. Mandy is like olive skin, black hair, brown eyes. I am the pale one in my family, but with Henry, I'm like, I'm the tan one. So watch out, honey. I am getting tan this trip and I was like the first person to burn between the two of us.
But yeah, we're back. So yeah, I'm excited for our topic today.

**Christy** (3:29)
I know.
Me as well. It's really good to be back on the mic. We thank our lovely team, Rachel and Olivia for stepping in last week. I know that was a difference in programming, but we really appreciate you guys giving them all the love and they're both so amazing. So thank you to both of them for covering for both of us while we were out of office. And yeah, no, I got nothing. So I'm kind of ready to get into the Ariana Grande of it all.

**Sophie** (3:59)
Let's jump in.

**Christy** (4:00)
There is so much to say about Ariana, and I am such an Ariana head. I've seen her in concert. I saw her on the Sweetener Tour. I just love my girl. I'm curious what your thoughts, top plan thoughts are on Ariana.

**Sophie** (4:11)
Aren't her fans called Arianators?

**Christy** (4:14)
You're right, Arianators.

**Sophie** (4:15)
Arianate, am I pronouncing that right? You know what? I love Ariana. I feel like she is incredibly, I wouldn't call myself an Arianator, but I do love her music. I think that she is one of the vocalists of our generation. She is just so talented. She has proven herself to be, I don't know if she's a triple threat because I don't know if she's like that good of a dancer, but she's an amazing actress and singer.
