The past 18 months have been particularly tumultuous for pop star Ariana Grande, so it seems she's decided to start the New Year off with a bold statement, telling her fans that she isn't going to date anyone - ever again!

Replying to a fan's tweet which included the headline, 'Who is Ariana Dating NOW!' [sic], the pop star said, 'can they tell me too ?' [sic]. Despite many fans jokingly saying it was them dating Ariana, the pop star followed up her tweet.

'spoiler for the rest of this year / probably my life: it’s no one. please refer back to this tweet for future questions. 🖤' [sic]. The post has now received nearly 40K likes and thousands of comments.

Whilst Ariana's love-life wasn't great last year, she did have a fantastic year of music. Releasing her comeback single in April, 'No Tears Left To Cry', Ariana followed it up with new album 'Sweetener' as well as a number of other singles including 'Breathin'', and 'thank u, next', which was about many of her past relationships.

Now take a look at artists who made a comeback in 2018:

Wrote some songs about Ricky

Now I listen and laugh

Even almost got married

And for Pete I’m so thankful

Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm [Miller]

Cause he was an angel'
