VMAs 2018: Pete Davidson’s Bracelet Is an Adorable Tribute to Ariana Grande


Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson aren’t shy about making public proclamations of love for each other. From matching tattoos to an endless array of Instagram PDAs, the two really want the world to know exactly how they feel about one another. So it’s no surprise that the newly engaged duo went all out for their red-carpet debut at Monday’s MTV VMAs 2018.

Fans who were able to take their eyes off the couple’s non-stop love fest noticed an intriguing detail on Davidson’s bracelet: small beads that listed the initials “AGD.” If you’ve been following the romantic chronicles of Pete and Ariana, you’ll recognize that those initials stand for Ariana Grande-Davidson, which as Ariana revealed in a recent interview, will be her initials after they’re married.

“Yeah, [I’m going to hyphenate it to Ariana Grande-Davidson],” Grande told Ebro Darden during a Beats 1 interview on Friday. So what does that mean for her stage name? As it turns out, Grande’s put a lot of thought into that too. “I don’t know. I feel like I’d eventually like to be just Ariana,” she added. “Isn’t that sick? I feel like it’s got a ring to it. But also Grande, I have to keep Grande because of my grandpa. I think of him with everything I do in it, and he was so proud of our name … I’m going keep it. Never mind. We’ll talk later. I have a lot of decisions to make.”

One decision that she has made is the timeline for her upcoming nuptials. While some fans might suggest that Pete’s bracelet means the couple has already tied the knot, Ariana made it clear that their wedding is still over five months away. “Less than five: Years? Yeah,” Grande said. “Months more, years less.”

Early in the show, Ariana had already picked up the award for Best Pop Video for her hit single “No Tears Left to Cry,” using the opportunity to tell Pete how she feels about him. “Thank you for existing,” she said.

MTV VMAs 2018: All the Photos of Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson Looking Cute


Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have been bopping around New York City for weeks now, but they just made their red carpet debut tonight (August 20) at the 2018 MTV VMAs. The newly engaged couple literally couldn’t keep their hands to themselves: Photographers caught them kissing, cuddling, and staring into each other’s eyes like…well, a newly engaged couple. Grande wore her signature thigh-high boots and a metallic mini-dress (with her hair surprisingly down instead of in a ponytail), while Davidson kept things more casual in a oversized white sweatshirt.

“It was just really simple and really sweet. We were just hanging out, he had a ring, and uh, yeah. He just asked me. It was really sweet,” Grande said last week about how Davidson proposed. “He didn’t get on a knee or anything, thank God… that would’ve been so googly.”

Ariana Grande Tearfully Opens Up About 'get well soon,' Her New Song Inspired by the Manchester Concert Attack


Ariana Grande has been sharing all the stories behind her new album, Sweetener, which dropped on Friday—and there’s one song in particular that strikes an emotional chord with her. “get well soon”, the album’s final track, is in part an ode to the 22 victims of the 2017 terrorist attack that took place after one of her concerts in Manchester, England. On Friday, Grande listened to the song on Beats 1 radio with Ebro Darden and tearfully recounted the inspiration behind it.

“It’s just about just being there for each and helping each other through scary times and anxiety,” Grande said as she became more and more emotional. “There’s some dark shit out there, man, and we just have to be there for each other as much as we can because you never fucking know. I just wanted to do something to make people feel good and less alone.”

“Obviously [if you see it] on the news it affects you but not in the same way. You feel bad, you tweet it, you post a picture, you send your condolences, you say something and move on,” Grande said on the show, then continued: “It’s like people are permanently affected by this shit and it’s just like, perspective. It changes everything, changes your life quite a bit. You want to be more present and follow happy impulses and figure it out later and stay in the moment.”

Grande, who organized a benefit concert for the victims after the attack, has opened up about the experience in the past, explaining what a toll it took on her mental health. “I don’t think I’ve been through anything as traumatic as [what] we’ve been through,” she said in an interview with Coveteur.

But “get well soon” isn’t strictly about Manchester. It also tackles dealing with mental health and anxiety, Grande said on Beats 1. “It’s not just about that. It’s also about personal demons and anxiety, and more intimate tragedies, as well. Mental health is so important. People don’t pay enough mind to it.” she said, adding that people are often moving so fast in their lives they don’t pay attention to “what’s happening inside.”

“That’s why I felt like it was important,” Grande said through tears. “I just wanted to give people a hug, musically and I feel like the lyrics can be kind of corny when I talk about wanting to hug you, but I do. People gotta be nicer.”

Ariana Grande Says Pete Davidson Didn't Get Down on a Knee When He Proposed


Ariana Grande has been giving the world all the Pete Davidson intel lately. While promoting her new album Sweetener, she’s talked about how they first met and what it was like writing a song dedicated to her fiancé. Now, she’s going even further and sharing how their engagement went down. (Spoiler alert: It was super chill.)

Grande stopped by the Zach Sang Show just before the album dropped to talk about putting the album together and the new chapter it represents for her. Eventually, the conversation got into all the personal developments happening for the pop singer—specifically a certain Pete Davidson coming into her life and asking her to marry him after just a few weeks of dating. Apparently, that moment was a big one, but it was also super relaxed and didn’t involve all of the usual fanfare, like Davidson getting on one knee—which she appreciated.

“It was just really simple and really sweet. We were just hanging out, he had a ring, and uh, yeah. He just asked me. It was really sweet,” she said. “He didn’t get on a knee or anything, thank God… Oh my dog, that would’ve been so googly.”

Although we’re waiting for Grande to make “googly” happen, it sounds like a not-googly proposal is just what she needed: “I’m not like a very traditional person so the fact that I’m getting married is something I never even saw coming,” she said. “I never saw that coming, I never wanted that. I was like fuck that, what’s the point. And then I kind of understood it when it was, like, with the right person.”

When a fan asked about a rumor that Davidson had been high during the proposal, Grande laughed and quipped, “He’s always high!”

But while she was totally down to gush about her future husband (“He’s sick. He’s so dope. He’s a feminist, he’s tight,” she raved at one point), she got coy when she was asked about the wedding. “We’re waiting, but we’re planning and I’m not gonna tell anybody nothing,” she said, smiling. “I kind of don’t want to tell anybody anything until it’s, like, done.”

Luckily, we now have the proposal story to hold us over. Watch the interview below:

All the Lyrics on Ariana Grande's New Album That Are (Probably) About Pete Davidson


Arianators, rejoice: Ariana Grande‘s fourth studio album, Sweetener, is here, and it’s 47 minutes of pure catchiness. To be clear, the album isn’t as overtly radio-friendly as Grande’s last album, Dangerous Woman; this time around, she swaps her signature glossy pop beats for something more experimental and R&B-inspired. The result, however, is just as fun and interesting. Immediate highlights off the album include “Breathin'” and “Goodnight n Go,” which samples Imogen Heap’s 2005 song with the same name.

Oh, and “Pete Davidson,” the minute-long interlude toward the end of Sweetener that’s an homage to Grande’s fiancé, Pete Davidson. The lyrics on the song are wildly romantic. “And I know you know that you’re my soulmate and all that,” she sings at one point. Davidson is obviously the subject here, but if you listen to the lyrics on Sweetener closely, he appears in other places, as well.

Of course, Grande recorded much of Sweetener before she started dating Davidson, so the more passionate lyrics may not have been inspired by him specifically. However, it’s safe to say that Grande now probably thinks of Davidson when she sings those words—which, in a way, makes them about him. Below, check out all the lovey-dovey lyrics on Sweetener that (probably) make Pete Davidson smile.

1. “Pete Davidson.” Because this song is literally named after Davidson, it’s safe to say all the lyrics are about him. “I thought you into my life, woah,” she sings at the top of the song. “Look at my mind, yeah. No better place or a time. Look how they align. Universe must have my back. Fell from the sky into my lap. And I know you know that you’re my soulmate and all that. I’m like ooh, ooh. My whole life got me ready for you, ooh, ooh. Got me happy, happy. I’ma be happy, happy, yeah.” She later adds, “Won’t get no crying from me, yeah,” before reiterating several times, “I’ma be happy, happy.”

2. “Blazed.'” Grande echoes similar thoughts about feeling lucky to have met someone on “Blazed,” which features Pharrell. “I can’t believe that you are here, I can’t believe it’s happening,” she sings. “What are the odds that you’d appear? The universe so vast to me. Seven billion is on the Earth. Could’ve been anywhere, but you’re here with me. Should I play lotto? What’s it worth? I must be on, so clear to me.” She adds during the pre-chorus, “Once I have you, I will never let you go.” In the second verse, Grande sings,”I don’t care who is listening, ’cause they be making fun of this on TV,” which could be a nod to how publicized her relationship with Davidson is.

3. “R.E.M.” Again, the lyrics on “R.E.M.” are a tad generic, but they do lend themselves nicely to Grande’s relationship with Davidson. “I watch them other girls when they come and bug you. But I felt like I knew you, so I just wanted to hug you,” she sings, which could be a reference to Davidson’s ex-girlfriends, Carly Aquilino and Cazzie David, who had very relatable reactions to his engagement to Grande. Later she sings, “I could buy you anything, but I cannot buy you.” In this month’s GQ, Davidson reveals Grande was the one who bought their $16 million apartment in New York City.

4. “Breathin'” This Max Martin-produced song is the most traditionally pop offering on Sweetener, and with it comes some predictably sappy lyrics that no-doubt make Grande think of Davidson. “Sometimes it’s hard to find, find my way up into the clouds,” she sings. “Tune it out, they can be so loud. You remind me of a time when things weren’t so complicated.”

5. “Borderline.” “You know I’m the wifey type, babe,” Grande sings on the pre-chorus of this Missy Elliott-assisted tune. And, well, she and Davidson are getting married.

6. “Goodnight n Go.” Most of the lyrics on this song come from Imogen Heap, but there are a few original words that seem to be Davidson-inspired. “Tell me why you gotta look at me that way,” she sings. “You know what it does to me.”

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson's $16 Million Apartment Is Basically Decorated Like a Dorm


The honeymoon stage of Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson‘s relationship has arrived, and it’s arrived in the form of minimal household decoration. So minimal, in fact, that we could argue it borders on dorm-room chic.

The couple recently moved into an incredibly, incredibly fancy apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City, which is estimated to cost around $16 million. Let us reiterate incredible for a moment — the apartment reportedly measures more than 4,000 square feet, has five bedrooms and four and a half baths, an IMAX theater, a sauna, a private spa, and a pool. (Yes, this would be considered their “starter” home.) But you know what the duo hasn’t bought for their swanky new nest yet? Anything of substance, really.

In a new interview with GQ, Davidson admitted he’s still in shock that he’s living in such a sprawling apartment with his new fiancée (who purchased the swanky digs herself). His contribution to the household, he joked, is that he keeps the refrigerator stocked, although he realizes he and Ari could indeed step it up when it comes to decoration. “She’s really sweet. She’s like, ‘This is our house,’ and I’m like, ‘You’re very nice for saying that. Thank you for letting me stay here,'” he told the magazine. “She’s like, ‘We’re getting married!’ And I’m like, ‘I know, thank you for letting me stay here.’ It’s like, we have six beanbags, but we have no forks — you know what I mean? We’re learning how to be adults. We’re having a really fun time.”

Yeah, we’d argue owning utensils is one of the fundamental tenants of a household. And plates. And cups. And a few bowls. But they’re trying! Ari even joked about having “no furniture, one speaker, and red vines” when the couple moved in together two months ago. But many trips to Restoration Hardware have ensued since. That gets an “A” for effort from us.
