Pop star Ariana Grande is currently on her 'sweetener' tour, but that doesn't mean that she can't take some time out and enjoy a bit of downtime. In a series of Instagram Stories, the 'One Last Time' singer has apparently been spending some time at NASA HQ, trying on a spacesuit and taking a ride in a rover!

Ariana captioned one of her Stories, 'Thank you for the coolest day of my life @nasa'. She went on to say, 'My mind is still processing and devouring every second of what just happened but I can’t wait to share more. What a special day and experience. Thank you so so so so much for your generosity and for showing my friends n I around'. [sic]

In one of the Instagram Stories, Ariana can be seen struggling to get in a spacesuit with her iconic long hair! After putting her hair in a net, the singer leans forward to get her head through the hole in the top of the spacesuit. However, as she head comes out, her long hair is somewhere inside the suit! Eventually with a bit of tugging it comes out.

The singer, who's most recent album 'sweetener' features a song named after the American Space Agency, also posed for a photo alongside NASA staff, which was shared by Johnson Space Center saying, 'We heard you needed space, @ArianaGrande, and we’re glad we could share some with you! 💫 Thanks for stopping by to learn more about what it’s like to be an astronaut and our #Moon2024 plans! 👩‍🚀🌙'.

If you look very carefully, NASA even changed the screen on the right of the photo so Welcome Ariana Grande to Mission Control!

In other Ariana news, the pop star is reportedly being sued for posting a photo taken by a professional photographer to her Instagram account. According to The Blast, the photos were taken by a professional photographer called Robert Barbera. The photos were later posted on Instagram last year, but apparently the photographer was never asked for, "permission or consent to publish the photographs."

Ariana's real name is Ariana Grande-Butera, see 11 other singers who use a stage name:
