Ariana Grande dropped a surprise song over the weekend called, 'thank u, next' and she recently took to the stage during The Ellen Show to perform her song for the first time. Unfortunately for the singer, she tripped as she was performing, but with true professionalism she recovered and continued till the end of the song.
At one point in the song, Ariana Grande jumps on a chair to sing a few lines, but it is when she goes to step off that she stumbles and says, "oh my god!". All is not lost though as the pop star returns to the centre of the stage and continues with the song, whilst also laughing at her trip.
'thank u, next' is a song about Ariana's past relationships and the lyrics mention a number of her ex-boyfriends including, Big Sean, Mac Miller and her ex-fiancé Pete Davidson. Here are some of the lyrics:
'Thought I’d end up with Sean
But he wasn’t a match
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'
Now take a look at Ariana's transformation from teenage TV star to worldwide pop sensation:
Whilst Ariana didn't fall over this time, it was recently revealed that she DID fall over, whilst she was doing a scary escape room with James Corden. In a video uploaded to YouTube, the singer can be seen tripping over in the dark, later appearing with her hand in a bandage.
