Ariana Grande is a successful actress and pop star, however over the past couple of years she's also had a very emotional time following the Manchester bombing on the 22nd May 2017, which took 22 people's lives.
After taking nearly a year away from music, Ariana Grande also split up from her boyfriend, Mac Miller, who sadly died on 7th September. Meanwhile, the 'Side To Side' singer also started dating comedian Pete Davidson, quickly becoming engaged and moving in together.
However, now, after such an emotional time, Ariana has pleaded with her fans asking for 'one ok day'. During a series of tweets posted last night (27th September) the singer said, 'can i pls have one okay day. just one. pls.' [sic]
Before continuing with, 'i’m so tired pls' [sic].
As the tweets continued, Ariana retweeted one of her own tweets that said, 'everything will be okay', with the words, 'j f--king k', assumed to mean 'just kidding'.
She continued, 'ty for loving me sm i do not deserve it'. [sic]
The 'No Tears Left To Cry' singer ended her tweets saying 'ily' meaning 'I love you'.
In response to her series of emotional tweets her fans have rallied around replying with heartfelt messages such as, 'I'll be right there just to hug you, I'll be there', 'she needs to know that we love and support her 😞❤️', and 'we love you so very much, please keep on smiling. you’re so loved & the universe will treat you right eventually. remember all the happiness & celebrate that instead of the evil demons that sadly fill the world. we love you forever n more than you’ll ever know. Love You ✨'. [sic]
These tweets come just a week after Ariana pulled out of appearing at the Emmys, which she was due to appear at with her fiancé Pete. At the time, one of her team confirmed, "Contrary to reports, Ariana will not be attending the Emmys tonight. Pete has also opted to not attend to be with her in New York."
They continued, "Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much needed time to heal and mend. She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline. She thanks her fans for their understanding."
Now take a look at Ariana Grande's transformation over the years:
Earlier this year, Ariana opened up about the therapy she received following the tragic events in Manchester. The singer told The Fader, "I guess I thought with time, and therapy, and writing, and pouring my heart out, and talking to my friends and family that it would be easier to talk about, but it’s still so hard to find the words."
She went on to explain how the therapy helped, saying, "It has helped me deal with so much. I think it’s great for everybody. Especially in this regard. Therapy is the best. It really is."
Since returning to music in April this year, Ariana has had huge success with 'No Tears Left to Cry' and 'God Is a Woman'. These continue on from her popular collabs with rapper Nicki Minaj, 'Side By Side', and John Legend, 'Beauty and the Beast' which were released last year.
