After much anticipation, Ariana Grande has finally released her new studio album, Sweetener!

Sweetener is the followup to Dangerous Woman, which Ariana dropped back in 2016.  The album includes songs the previously released ‘NoTears Left to Cry’ (my FAV), ‘The Light Is Coming’ with Nicki Minaj and Ariana’s latest, ‘God Is A Woman.’

 

 

The track list also includes a song called ‘Get Well Soon’, which is dedicated to the Manchester attack victims. The attack happened on May 22nd, and the length of ‘Get Well Soon’ is exactly 5:22. At the end of the song, you’ll notice 40 seconds of silence – a tribute to the victims of the Manchester attack.

 

 

What about ‘Pete Davidson?’ During Ariana’s visit on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ariana explained that she wrote the song literally a week after she began hanging out with Pete and after weeks of dating, they got engaged.  Ariana tells Jimmy, “We met on SNL two, three years ago.  We never exchanged numbers or anything, we weren’t even friends for a long time. But I had the biggest crush in the whole world on him the whole time.  At the time, I left his writer’s room… [and] I’m not a crushy person, I don’t have crushes on people I don’t know. But I jokingly said to my tour manager, ‘I’m marrying him. 100 percent.”  If that ain’t cute, I don’t know what is!

And, can we just take a second to watch the cutest video EVER of Ariana and her Nonna dancing to Sweetener!
