Here's How Miley Cyrus Had Ariana Grande's Back After Her Split With Pete Davidson


Women supporting women is, without overstatement or exaggeration, one of the best things ever—and in the wake of Ariana Grande‘s breakup with Pete Davidson, Miley Cyrus sent Grande a text to make sure she felt a little love.

In an interview with Howard Stern from earlier in December that’s recently surfaced, Cyrus said because she’s an “emoji person,” she sent Grande “a bunch of hearts and the little cat with the heart eyes.”

As for Grande’s response? A single cloud—which, as we all know, is kinda the singer’s thing.

It’s clear that the two pop stars have a close friendship, even if they’re both so busy they don’t have much downtime together. The two performed together at the One Love Manchester concert, a benefit that followed the tragic terrorist attack at Grande’s concert in May 2017.

Cyrus also said in the December interview with Stern that she counts Grande as a “good friend”—even though they haven’t spent a ton of one-on-one time together. “Anything I’ve ever asked her to be involved in … she’s always done it,” Cyrus said. “So I can never say a bad thing about her because she’s always been so great. It’s not about how many hours spent or how many inside jokes you have, but it’s about the real shit.”

Ariana Grande Had the Perfect Response After Kanye West Said She Was 'Using' Him to Promote a Song


On Thursday, Ariana Grande stepped into the Kanye West/Drake clash and encouraged people to turn their attention away from the feud to focus on “beautiful, new songs” she and Miley Cyrus had dropped. “Guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y’all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be so sick thank u,” she tweeted.

Apparently that didn’t make West very happy. On Saturday, the rapper fired off a few tweets aimed at Grande, letting her know that “all of this foolishness weighed on my mental health” and directing her not to “use me or this moment to promote a song.”

It was a pointed accusation, but Grande wasn’t going to let that one sit. She clapped back in the nicest way possible: In her own tweet, she said that she was sorry she had offended him, but made it crystal clear she doesn’t need him to promote her music.

“With all due respect,” she wrote, “I don’t need to use anyone to promote anything. period. I was making a comment ab what men were doing at the time vs. women. It was a joke which i understand now was probably insensitive. I apologize if i was in any way triggering and hope u feel well today.”

Grande’s comments seemed to read more about the public focusing on “grown men arguing” than attacking West, and she seemed to be getting at how oftentimes women’s accomplishments are overshadowed by men in the media. Still, she did her part to try to smooth things over.

The singer had made the joke about the Kanye-Drake showdown just before releasing her newest song, “Imagine,” which many people think is about her relationship with Mac Miller, who passed away this year. Although she hasn’t revealed who inspired the track, she did share that it’s about “pretending” a relationship “never ended.”

Ariana Grande's New Song Is Probably About Mac Miller, and People Are Emotional


Ariana Grande dropped the second song presumably from her upcoming album, Thank U, Next, on Friday (December 14). Titled “Imagine,” the track is an airy R&B slow jam that places Grande’s out-of-this-world vocals front and center. That’s not surprising, though—we know Grande has pipes. What might surprise fans is the inspiration behind the song. Twitter is convinced the song is an ode to Grande’s ex-boyfriend the late Mac Miller, and the evidence holds up.

For one, there’s the title: “Imagine.” Miller actually had an “Imagine” tattoo on his upper arm, so it’s possible Grande derived inspiration from that. There are also some telling details in the lyrics. “Staying up all night, order me pad thai,” Grande sings at one point in the song. Miller mirrors this in his song “Cinderella” when he raps, “And when you hungry, I can chef you up a stir fry.” (Grande confirmed back in May “Cinderella” was written about her.)

A second parallel occurs later in the song when Grande sings, “I never thought that it would be you.” On “Cinderella,” Miller croons, “You used to tell me all the time I ain’t your type.” Finally, Grande sings in a whistle tone at the 2:45 mark on “Imagine.” She uses a similar tone on her song “The Way,” which she recorded with Miller, at the 3:14 mark.

Fans are clearly in their feels about all of this. Below, just a few reactions.

Grande, for her part, hopes the viral feud between Drake and Kanye West on Twitter right now doesn’t deflect from her music or her friend Miley Cyrus’ new song release. “Guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y’all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be so sick thank u,” she tweeted last night. Amen.

There’s a Secret Message in Ariana Grande’s 'Pete Davidson' You Totally Missed


Once upon a time (i.e: over the summer), Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson were just two infatuated twenty-somethings who got engaged after only a few weeks of dating. Of course, the couple has since split, but there’s an artifact of their relationship on the Internet that will always remind us of when times were good. I’m talking, obviously, about Grande’s song “Pete Davidson” from her album, Sweetener.

The track was a last-minute addition to Grande’s fourth studio album. Running at a little over one minute, it’s the shortest song on Sweetener but by far one of the most memorable. There are no direct references to Davidson on the song but rather just general musings about how Grande is happy in her relationship. “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,” she sings before the chorus of the song. “I’ma be happy, happy,” she then repeats several times before the tune comes to a close.

But there’s a hidden message in “Pete Davidson” even the most diehard Grande fans might have missed. It turns out the guitar chords in the song are B-A-E on a loop. So, in other words, bae.

“I was looking up Ariana Grande guitar chords (I don’t have a guitar) and discovered the chords to ‘Pete Davidson’ are just BAE over and over and I can’t believe I just wrote the Da Vinci Code,” the fan who first noticed this message tweeted.

Listen to the song for yourself, below, and relive a simpler time.

Ariana Grande Celebrated Her Billboard Woman of the Year Award by Getting Tattoos With Her 93-Year-Old Grandma


What kind of things do you like to do with your grandma—bake cookies, share stories, maybe hit some holiday sales? Well, when you’re Ariana Grande hanging out with her gran, things apparently get kicked up a notch.

After accepting the honor of Billboard Woman of the Year, Grande and her half-brother, Frankie, took their grandmother Marjorie Grande—better known as “Nonna” to her family and “legend” to the rest of us—out to get tattoos. Of course, Ariana’s no stranger to ink. She’s got more than we can count—including some new ones covering up the remnants of her broken engagement to Pete Davidson.

But Nonna? This was her first time, and Ariana documented the trip on her Instagram Stories. The Grande matriarch was so chill about the whole thing: She opted for a very sweet tribute to her late husband Frank and had his nickname “Ciccio” tattooed onto her left ring finger (ouch). When the singer asked Nonna how she was feeling about the process, she calmly replied, “I feel fine. I’ve had a little bit more excitement than this.” At one point she even joked, “You don’t know what pain is!”

Fans on social media went nuts for for the bonding moment.

“Ariana holding nonna’s hand while she’s getting her first tattoo is the sweetest thing ever please,” one wrote. “Also I CANT BELIEVE NONNA GOT A TATTOO OMG but it’s so cute and i love it,” said another.

Ariana also got some new ink that night on the top of her hand. New York tattoo artist Mira Mariah shared a photograph of the celestial art on her own Instagram writing, “☀️? for the woman of the year.”

As far as whether Nonna’s caught the tattoo bug…we’ll definitely keep you posted if she and Ariana head out for matching ink sometime soon.

Watch Ariana Grande's Speech at Billboard Women in Music 2018


Can you think of another artist who’s had a year filled with more ups and downs—professionally and personally—than Ariana Grande? Because I certainly can’t. From the record-breaking success of “Thank U, Next” to her whirlwind romance with Pete Davidson, the singer has been through it. But at least she’s closing the year out on a high—with a Woman of the Year award at Billboard’s Women In Music event, which she accepted tonight (December 6).

Grande didn’t hold back her signature candor in her speech, either. After thanking her team, she went on to open up about what this honor means to her. “I find it interesting that this has been one of the best years of my career and the worst of my life,” she said as she took the stage. “I’m not saying that for sympathy. I’m just saying that because I feel like a lot of people would look at someone in my position right now, I guess…an artist that could be at her peak…and think, ‘She’s really got her shit together, you know? She’s really on it. She’s got it all.’ And I do, but as far as my personal life goes, I really have no idea what the fuck I’m doing.”

She continued, “It’s been a very conflicting one, and I just want to say that if you’re someone out there who has no idea what this next chapter is going to bring, you’re not alone in that.”

Grande may not know her next chapter yet, but she’s feeling hopeful about it. “I’m really looking forward to embracing whatever happens and whatever comes my way,” she said. “I’m really grateful for my friends and family, I love you guys so much. I’m really grateful for music.”

And true to the message of “Thank U, Next,” Grande wants to keep putting herself—not the men she dates—first. “I look forward to hopefully learning to give some of the love and forgiveness that I’ve given away so frivolously and easily to men in the past to myself, hopefully, this year,” she said. “I have everything I’ve ever dreamt of having, and as of late I’ve discovered that it’s the things I’ve always had and the people I’ve always had that still make me the happiest.”
