2018 has been a tough year for celebs and no one feels that more than Ariana Grande.

The Dangerous Woman singer posted a powerful statement on Insta, calling this past year a ‘f*ck’ and thanking her fans for their unending support.

“Farewell 2018, you f*ck. I hope this new year brings you all much laughter, clarity, and healing,” she wrote.

“Be gentle with yourselves and each other. If we made it through last year, we’ll for sure make it through this one.

“Thank you for everything”.

Her encouraging message comes after a year filled with hardship.

After surviving the tragic Manchester Arena bombing last year, the singer released her first 2018 single No Tears Left to Cry.

And the Ariana's life continued to be filled with loss over the past year.

In May, the God is a Woman singer split from her long-term boyfriend Mac Miller.

A few months later, her former love died from a suspected drug overdose.

Mac’s passing shook Ariana’s world as she began to mourn the loss of her former partner.

In October, the singer also confirmed her split from ex-fiance Pete Davidson just four months after announcing their engagement.

However, the singer’s latest single Thank U, Next seems to show that Ariana is choosing to use her past to make her the woman she is today – strong and fiercer than ever.

She’s learned something through each difficulty life has thrown her way and we can’t wait to hear the empowering words of her next album.
