Ariana Grande has had quite a rollercoaster year, from facing her grief following the Manchester bombing attack in May 2017. to becoming engaged to Pete Davidson, to losing her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller. to her scandalous break-up with Davidson.

The 25-year-old pop superstar has barely had time to breathe, the poor gal. 

Her new album, Sweetener, has broken global records, cleared our skin, made us dance and not to mention was the impetus for her becoming the most listened to female artist on Spotify.

Last night, the Thank u, next singer was clearly moved as she accepted Billboard's Woman of the Year at the corporation's Women in Music event in New York.

"This is really special. I want to say that I find it interesting that this has been one of the best years in my career and one of like the worst years in my life," she artist said, as she was honoured onstage.

She added that she felt "completely undeserving" of the Woman of the Year title, and went on to thank her team but was too overwhelmed to remember everyone in her life who she wanted to mention.

Ari spoke about the dynamic between her career and her personal life, saying; "A lot of people would look at someone in my position right now as an artist that could be at her peak and think, 'She’s really got her shit together, 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 f*ck I’m doing." Ari has become a lot more open recently about her turbulent emotions, as well as her mission to work on her relationship with herself.

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

In true Ari style, after giving us a message of hope, she delivered a final silly remark; "I'm not going to cry, that's really annoying," she joked.

She continued;"I’m really looking forward to embracing whatever happens and whatever comes my way." As she wrapped up her speech, she made sure to give a shout-out to her BFF's Victoria Monet and Tayla Parx.

"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 declared, in a totally iconic manner.

"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."

If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?, as Ru Paul declares.

Ari, treat yourself next year. You deserve it, gal.

Thank U, Next has racked up an incredible 89 million views and counting.

The video smashed Youtube's record for the most views in 24 hours and it's still trending as number one.

It doesn't really come as a surprise since it incorporated all the films of our entire adolescence and, of course Kris Jenner as Regina's mum was just iconic.

But as we've combed through the video for the millionth time, it becomes clear that Mac Miller is missing from Ariana's burn book and the singer has spoken out to why.

Replying to a fan who tweeted: "When she flips through the thank u next burn book and pics of her with Sean, Ricky, Pete & Mac arrive……………we had to f*cking stan."

But Ariana said the reason why Mac Miller wasn't in the book was because he had a special place next to her.

"M ain't in the book, he's next to my bed," she replied.

If you've been dissecting the video as much as we have since it's release, you'll spot that before the singer closes the burn book, she belts out: "Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm, ‘cause he was an angel."

Now time to super zoom and those of you who are eagled-eyed, you will see on her nightstand, a number of picture frames – though we can't make out what's in them, we can only presume from Ariana's tweet that they're pictures of her late ex.

Heartbreakingly, Malcolm passed away from an overdose in September.

Ariana has paid tribute to him by covering up some old 'Pete' ink with a tattoo in Malcolm's honour.

Trending

We are still reeling from the iconic Thank U, Next video, which Ariana dropped over the weekend.

Besides from smashing a Youtube record for the most views in 24 hours, the singer has made a slight adjustment to a 'Pete' tattoo.

In the behind the scenes action of the video, the 25-year-old debuts her new tattoo which is dedicated to her late ex, Mac Miller.

The new ink covers her old tattoo which was for her former fiancé Pete Davidson, which means our hun is officially moving on.

Flaunting the new ink, Ariana said in the video:  “Look at my Myron, guys, come look. How cool right?”

Myron is Mac Miller's dog, which has been snapped in a number of photos with Ariana since Malcolm's tragic death. 

Mac Miller sadly passed away from an overdose on September 7, 2018.

Ariana Grande is releasing a new docu-series, Dangerous Woman Diaries, in which she opens up about her emotions surrounding the "horrendous" terrorist bombing at her concert in Manchester last year.

Grande has spoken before about how the event has forever changed her, and she has now penned a letter expressing her devastation one year on from the heart-breaking tragedy.

The global pop sensation had only just finished her set at the Manchester Arena in May of 2017 when a bomb was detonated in the foyer, killing 22 people as they were leaving the concert and injuring another 500.

She has chosen to share a highly personal letter to her fans, and the series has already released four episodes, the final one depicting her pain and sorrow after the incident.

"I'm writing to you this February 22, 2018," she writes. "It's been eight months since the attack at our show at the Manchester Arena. It's impossible to know where to start or to know what to say about this part."

"May 22, 2017, will leave me speechless and filled with questions for the rest of my life."

"Music is an escape," she continued. "Music is the safest thing I've ever known. Music—pop music, stan culture—is something that brings people together, introduces them to some of their best friends, and makes them feel like they can be themselves."

"It is comfort. It is fun. It is expression. It is happiness. It is the last thing that would ever harm someone. It is safe."

"When something so opposite and so poisonous takes place in your world that is supposed to be everything but that…It is shocking and heartbreaking in a way that seems impossible to fully recover from."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by vidsforari (@vidsforari) on

Though Grande was thankfully unharmed physically in the attack, she has described her symptoms of PTSD following the bombing.

She boarded a private plan to Florida, so she could be with her grandmother, before co-organising the One Love Manchester concert for victims and their families, where herself and then-boyfriend Mac Miller performed.

Her fans will now get a behind -the-scenes look at the concert, with footage of Ari singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow to be aired.

Her letter went on to preach about the power of not letting hate win in times like these:

"The spirit of the people of Manchester, the families affected by this horrendous tragedy, and my fans around the world have permanently impacted all of us for the rest of our lives. Their love, strength, and unity showed me, my team, my dancers, band, and entire crew not to be defeated."

"To continue during the scariest and saddest of times. To not let hate win. But instead, love as loudly as possible, and to appreciate every moment."

"The people of Manchester were able to change an event that portrayed the worst of humanity into one that portrayed the most beautiful of humanity."

"'Like a hand print on my heart,' she quoted, using her favourite musical Wicked as inspiration;

 "I think of Manchester constantly and will carry this with me every day for the rest of my life."

The passing of Mac Miller was one that stunned the music industry and fans of the late rapper. One person who truly felt the significant loss of the Small Worlds singer is his former partner Ariana Grande.

Ariana has been mourning the loss of her ex-boyfriend as well as dealing with the breakdown of her relationship with Pete Davidson. There’s no doubt the past few months have been hell for the singer so the last thing she needs to deal with is people making nasty accusations about her.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Ariana Grande (@arianagrande) on

Numerous people have taken to Twitter with ludicrous claims that Ariana is ‘milking’ her former partner’s death.

One user wrote: “She milkin’ this shit bruh” and another tweeted: “Ariana let it go… Mourn it behind closed doors. Stop milkin' it when you wasn't even there when he was at his lowest right before it happened."

The One Last Time singer defended herself in a series of tweets, proving that she is unbelievably strong despite the mass heartache she has gone through this year.

She tweeted: “Some of the shit I read on here makes me sick to my stomach. It scares me the way some people think and I don’t like this world a lot of the time. If only we could be more compassionate and gentle with one another. That’d be sick.”

The Breathin’ singer added: “Everything I feel is valid and safe. Everything I do is genuine and honest. There is no right or wrong during this period.”

The accusations come after the God Is A Woman singer paid tribute to her former beau on Thanksgiving.

She posted a photo of Mac on her Instagram story captioned ‘you’re very missed’.

Mere months have passed since Mac Miller died. His death is certainly still extremely raw for Ariana so she has every right to mourn in whatever way helps her process this tragic loss.

I am feeling and loving the Ariana Grande vibe at the moment.

It seems since her split, the singer is going after all of the lovebirds who are planning on getting hitched – and I'm LIVING for it.

As heartbroken singles go, Ariana is allowed to be a bitter b*tch given everything that has happened to her.

The God is A Woman singer announced the end of her engagement to Pete Davidson a little less than a month ago.

Ariana's advice to anyone thinking of getting engaged came about when Zoe Report posted to their followers.

Their caption read: "13 tips & tricks for finding the perfect engagement ring (including the popular metal you should actually avoid)."

The 25-year-old savagely commented under the picture, "don't" – *mic drop.*

Fans were quick to react in shock and laughter at the brutal statement.

It's been a rough year for Ariana.

We understand it must be incredibly difficult for the singer to get back to some sort of normality after the death of Mac Miller and the end of her relationship with Pete.

Keep owning it Ari, and don't stop with the bad b*tch advice – love is officially done for 2018.

'One taught me love, one taught me patience, one taught me pain'

The now iconic lyrics of Ariana Grande's new HELLA SPICY self-love song that has shaken the globe.

The tune features lines about her last four serious ex-boyfriends: Ricky Alvarez, Mac Miller, Big Sean and of course, Pete Davidson.

TBH we all expected her to shrow some (lamp) shade all around, especially seeing as Pete Davidson recently made a far-too-soon joke about their engagement, but Ari took the highest road of all, and said 'Thank you, next' to immaturity.

She's a far bigger person than we are, morally, that's for sure.

We've taken the liberty to dig up the most hilarious 'Thank You, next' memes on the net, and boy have we hit the jackpot of comedy. Buckle up, lads.

1. Shrek is love, Shrek is life. Apparently Ariana Grande fans concur with this statement? Who knew.

2. The twist on the most famous line from Notting Hill, and possibly one of the greatest Hugh Grant rom-com quotes, was tweeted by Ari herself. Though who would shrug off Julia Roberts? 

3. Sam Carmichael, Harry Bright and Bill Austin teaching us love, patience and pain… Mamma Mia just had to be included on this list didn't it? 

4. The sequel has inspired some of the greatest of all time (GOAT) memes, and it wasn't left out in this occasion either:

 5. Detective Hopper from Stranger Things (DK Harbour) absolutely annihilated the world's fandom feels with a single Instagram post=

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One taught me love One taught me patience One taught me pain Happy #strangerthingsday

NOT. ABLE. 

6. This one any gal can relate to:

Pretty much just constant pain though… let's not lie to ourselves. 

7. What romantic triple threat could skip the Gilmore Girls? Those boys had our hearts, Jess was always our personal fave but WE LOVED THEM ALL. Who are we kidding?

8. Some gas folks out there decided to create a pun on Ariana's 'ex' and transform it somehow into an X-Men reference…

9. Milk politics was then brought into the equation (yep, really), where the eternal battle between dairy milk, oat milk and almond milk rages on=

10. Let us never forget the three brothers who raised us through the Disney years=

11. Last, but by all means not least, the Harry Potter edition featuring Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley and Harry=

 Those boys had us feeling all kinds of emotions, much like Ari's entire new album, Sweetener.

In light of everything Queen Grande been through over the last few years, Ariana makes sure to confirm to her fans that the most important relationship she has is with herself.

She's dead right, we say. As Ru Paul affirms: "If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love anyone else?"

God is a woman, but these memes need their own religion.

Ariana Grande has commented on her split from SNL cast member Pete Davidson for the first time.

The One Last Time singer took to Instagram to address the break-up.

Ariana and Pete called off their engagement last week. According to reports, Pete was not emotionally supportive enough following Mac Miller’s death, which caused tension between him and Ariana.

The God Is A Women singer admitted she is taking a break from the Internet following the break down of their relationship.

She posted to Instagram stories: “Time to say bye bye to the internet for just a little bit.”

“It's hard not to bump news n stuff that I'm not tryna to see rn," she explained.

“It's very sad and we're all trying very hard to keep going.

What started out as a light-hearted joke with her fans, turned into something much darker.

Ariana responded to their caption ‘Ariana Grande trolls fans with what appears to be the music video (?) for “breathin” starring her pet pig, Piggy Smallz’, with 'This is the official video.’

Although most thought it was hilarious, one person did not and let her grievances be known.

A user commented, "this era is a joke and lazy" – OUCH.

Ariana didn't take too kindly to the criticism of her new music and responded with an emotional statement.

"This era is beautiful to me but I don't know. Been through hell and back and I’m doing my best to keep going" – Preach it gal.

"Thought this would make you laugh while you wait for the real one because I took a break to take care of myself for a little while. My b," she added.

"Maybe I should have said it a little nicer or not at all but I can’t take it back. She blocked me which is understandable considering how many people she’s blocked recently and I think I deserve it. I don’t hate her and I’ll never hate her. I just dislike this era/album. I’m sorry if I hurt any of her fans. You can hate on me all you want I don’t care. I’ll laugh with you.

The moral of the story is kids, if you're gonna dish up some hate, particularly to someone who has recently gone through the mill, don't be surprised when the backlash arrives.

Remember what your momma told you, if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Ariana might be a superstar, but she is also human.
