So, picture this: Ariana Grande and Adam Sandler are sitting down for Variety’s latest Actors on Actors chat, just vibing and talking shop. Honestly, it was perfect.
Then Adam casually drops that he had to shoot “six or seven” emotional scenes (for Jay Kelly) back-to-back.
The second those words left his mouth, Ariana made a tiny reaction, like a micro eyebrow lift, and the internet went feral.
Fans immediately clipped it, memed it, stitched it… the whole nine yards. Everyone was convinced Ari instantly thought of the “6–7” meme or was silently doing the hand gesture in her brain.
Spoiler: Ari Literally Did Not Know What “6–7” Meant
But plot twist — she had no idea what anyone was talking about.
When a fan page posted the moment with a caption basically crowning Ariana’s reaction as the internet’s new favorite meme, she slid into the comments and shut it down real quick.
“I don’t know what this means! I was reacting to him saying the amount of emotional scenes back to back! I’m scared what is 67,” she wrote.
Then, in peak Ari energy, she doubled back again in the replies: “actually I don’t want to know please I love you all enjoy ♡.”
So… What Even Is the “6–7” Meme Anyway?
If you’re sitting there like, “Wait… what is 6–7?” don’t worry, Ariana was right there with you.
Here’s the quick tea:
The meme comes from the song Doot Doot (6 7) by Skrilla, which dropped in February. TikTok editors got ahold of it, especially in edits for NBA player LaMelo Ball, who just so happens to stand at a very meme-worthy 6’7”.
From there, the internet did what the internet does: total chaos.
Now “6–7” is basically used to mean something is mid, so-so, meh — usually paired with that rotating hand gesture Gen Alpha loves. It can also reference height thanks to all the LaMelo edits.
Simple (and stupid) enough…
So yeah, fans absolutely spiraled over Ariana’s reaction. Memes, jokes, theories… the whole buffet.
But at the end of the day, Ariana made it crystal clear: She wasn’t thinking about the meme, the gesture, or anything remotely TikTok-coded. She was just reacting to Adam Sandler casually surviving six or seven emotional scenes like it was nothing.
