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:

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.

This Fan Theory About Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson's Wedding Date Is Pretty Convincing


Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson are officially engaged, which means a wedding is happening at some point. There have been no reports of immediate plans, but a theory about when Ariana and Pete will tie the knot is floating around the Internet. And it’s convincing.

In the past few days, several fans have taken to Twitter to explain why they believe Ariana and Pete will marry on August 4, 2018. Essentially, the date would be a way of honoring Pete’s late father, who died in the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York City and whose firefighter badge number was 8418. Both Ariana and Pete have “8418” tattoos — Ariana on her left ankle and Pete on his left forearm — so celebrating their wedding on 8/4/18 would certainly be a very poignant and meaningful gesture. Plus, August 4 is on a Saturday.

Neither Pete Davidson nor Ariana Grande has made any mention of wedding planning since confirming their engagement, in June. Whether or not their wedding actually takes place two weeks from now (!!), there’s a good chance the pair will honor Pete’s dad on August 4 in some way or another. Last weekend, the pair confirmed that the firefighter plays an important role in their relationship when Pete shared a photo of Ariana wearing his dad’s “8418” New York Fire Department pendant. When some people criticized Pete in his Instagram comments section for giving the chain to Ari, he replied, “For ur information that’s not just some girl, that’s my fiancé. She’s the greatest person I know. I gave it to her because she has my heart and that is the most precious thing I own. My dad would be so happy and love her so much.”

Pete Davidson Is Now Blond, Which May Have Nothing or Everything to Do With Ariana Grande


Over the weekend, Pete Davidson took some serious beauty inspiration from his fiancée, Ariana Grande, and dyed his hair platinum blond.

The Saturday Night Live star and future Mr. Ariana Grande shared a photo to his Instagram feed on Sunday night (July 1) showing the back of a person’s head with bleached hair, with the caption “big time adolescence.” At first, it was unclear who the mystery head belonged to, but Davidson later shared another photo of himself that made it very clear that he did, in fact, follow in Ariana’s footsteps and go blond for summer.

Though Ariana is technically back to brunette, she sent shockwaves through the beauty world a few months ago when she showed off platinum blond strands in the images accompanying her upcoming album, Sweetener, so it’s not a huge stretch to wonder if Pete was inspired by her own beauty transformation.

In addition to changing up his hair color, Pete seems to be actively trying to up his style game.. He recently hired Queer Eye‘s Tan France to help him with his wardrobe, so maybe his new look is a part of an even more major makeover that he’ll be rolling out in the next few months.

It seems like Pete and Ariana had a seriously busy — and beauty-filled — weekend. In addition to the hair-color update, the engaged couple also spent time at their local Sephora, hiding from the paparazzi in the Benefit] aisle. They also found time to decorate their new, $16 million apartment (which, it’s worth mentioning, has its own IMAX theater), and post cute photos and videos on each other’s Instagram Stories.

A Brief Investigation Into Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson's Coupled-Up Tattoos


Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson’s relationship has been a bit of a whirlwind: The two were only publicly dating for a few weeks before getting engaged in June. Davidson confirmed the news himself to Jimmy Fallon on June 21, but it remains one of only a few times he or Grande has commented on the relationship.

All the while, fans have been noticing new ink pop up on both stars since they started dating each other—and they’re freaking out about it. The meanings of some of these tattoos are pretty straightforward; others are a bit more symbolic. Below, we break down all the tattoos Grande and Davidson have gotten since their journey began that fans think are about each other.

Davidson’s cloud tattoo: This first popped up on Davidson’s Instagram in May. Two days before, Grande was spotted carrying what appeared to be Davidson’s phone, which had a cloud cover, and she also posted a cloud emoji caption to one of her photos on May 14.

Davidson’s bunny ears: About a month ago, the SNL star’s tattoo artist shared a photo of a black bunny-ear mask Davidson had tattooed on his neck. Pop music fans know these ears were important iconography in Grande’s Dangerous Woman music era.

The AG on Davidson’s thumb: Welp, this one’s pretty straightforward: “AG” forms Grande’s initials.

The “8418” on Grande’s foot: E! Online clocked what appears to be the numbers “8418” tattooed on Grande’s lower left foot in July. Davidson’s father, Scott, was a firefighter who died in 9/11. His badge number? 8418.

Look closely for what appears to be ‘8418’ tattooed on Grande’s foot.

Davidson has the sequence tattooed on his left arm, too.

“Reborn”: Us Weekly reports that on June 18, Davidson had the word “reborn” tattooed on his hand. A few days later, Grande posted to Instagram Stories holding one of her birthday presents, and guess what was on her hand? A “reborn” tattoo.

That’s it for now. Of course, we’ll update this post when Grande and Davidson have more ink, well, inked.
