Someone Chucked A Lemon At Ariana Grande And Twitter’s Got Jokes For Days

Ariana Grande has proven to the world that she is a force to be reckoned with. With her two latest albums—Sweetener and Thank U, Next—breaking records on multiple charts, it’s no surprise that Coachella asked the Grammy-winning artist to headline the festival this year.

Grande experienced multiple technical difficulties the first weekend of the festival—Numerous guests had their microphones out of sync, making many of the performances sloppy.

But this weekend, Grande took the stage for part two and totally killed it.

However, much like Grande’s personal life as of late, nothing is perfect. During her performance on stage, someone in the crowd chucked a whole ass lemon at her.

Seriously—who throws a f**king lemon???

Twitter

Don’t worry, Grande clapped back in the most mature way possible, saying: What the f**k? That’s ’cause one of y’all threw a lemon at me. Sh*t.”

Ariana Grande Defends Herself After Being Accused Of ‘Exploiting’ The LGBTQ Community

Ariana Grande has stepped in to defend herself from criticism that she’s exploiting the LGBTQ community by headlining a big Pride festival.

For weeks there had been rumors that Ariana would head the bill at this year’s Manchester Pride. She hasn’t performed in Manchester in two years—the last show was the One Love concert, which she and her team put together in 2017 to aid the those who were affected when a bomb went off outside her Manchester concert, killing 22 people.

But when the official announcement was made, both the festival and Ariana herself came under fire from people who were upset about the choice of headliner, both because she’s not queer and because the tickets were suddenly very expensive. (BuzzFeed reports that a weekend ticket cost £28, but this year it’s shot up to £74.50.)

People were also (understandably) upset that the Pride festival was now being treated more like a regular music festival, which is not what it was meant to be. Even homophobes were planning to attend.

https://twitter.com/indxae/status/1100172757936025600

And then there was the issue of the LGBTQ artists that could have been hired instead of a straight woman.

https://twitter.com/Ioseloselose/status/1100128699960180742

One person made what they later called “a passing comment” that blew up huge on Twitter. They wrote, “idk …. ariana headlining pride when she’s straight (as far as we’re all aware) …. and doubling the price of tickets …. kinda smells like exploitation of the lgbt community to me …..”

https://twitter.com/raininjulyvinyl/status/1100072623327924224

They added a few follow-up tweets explaining that they had no problem with Ariana as a person, they just found it “weird/uncomfortable” that a straight woman would be the “‘face’ of the whole event.”

https://twitter.com/raininjulyvinyl/status/1100426455652229120

It was at this point that Ariana stepped in to respond.

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1100833408144498688

She responded to the tweet about exploitation, writing, “i saw many people discussing this so I wanted to chime in…. hope that’s okay.” She included a long note which read:

hi my love. i have nothing to do with ticket pricing — manchester pride sets those rates, and they’re mostly out of my control. the lgbtq community has been so special to me and supportive throughout my entire career. the relationships i have with my lgbtq fans, friends, and family make me so so happy. i want to celebrate and support this community, regardless of my identity or how people label me. and also i wanna visit a city that means so much to me. lgbtq representation is incredibly important, and i’m always proud to share the stage with lgbtq artist! over the years, pride events have been headlined by performers and artists of all sexual orientation and genders, including straight allies like cher and kylie minogue. i do think there’s room for us to talk about these issues without equating a performance *for*an lgbtq audience with exploitation of the lgbtq community. if you truly feel like i didn’t deserve to be offered this spot, i respect that. but i did accept it excitedly and gratefully. i’m not claiming to be the hero of the communityor the face of the lgbtq rights movement — i just wanna put on a show that makes my lgbtq fans feel special and celebrated and supported. that’s all i wanna do.

Many people responded well and many felt Ariana explained herself beautifully.

Other people stressed the importance of allies.

But some people felt she should still try to do something about the exorbitant cost of the tickets.

I’m sure she won’t be able to appease everyone, but it seems like she’s doing her best.

Pete Davidson Ripped Apart A Fan For Making A Mac Miller Joke At His Show

Comedian Pete Davidson was working on some new material at the South Orange Performing Arts Center in NJ on Monday night when one of his fans tried to make a joke of rapper Mac Miller’s death. Let’s just say it did not go well for the fan.

Miller was found dead at the age of 26 on September 7 in his California home. His death was ruled an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol, according to People.

The late Miller had dated Ariana Grande before she dated Pete Davidson, and his death seems to have played a factor in her and Davidson’s breakup, at least if you go by the lyrics to her song “Ghostin.”

So it was in really, really bad taste when, after Davidson began a joke with “My friend died in my apartment,” someone in the audience clearly yelled out “Mac Miller,” according to audio obtained by TMZ.

Right after the dude yelled it out, Davidson asked, “Jesus Christ, who’s that guy?” He then said, “We’re getting him out. Point out the guy who’s a f*ckface.” He completely stopped the set and waited for the crowd to out the guy so security could remove him, saying, “I’ll wait. I will wait. I will not continue until that guy’s gone.”

“I’ll leave, so if you want the show to continue, call out the person who did it,” he said. He also asked that the venue give the guy his money back because he didn’t want it.

“I don’t deal with that sh*t at my show,” he said, later adding, “I have to deal with that enough.”

In recent weeks, Davidson has been spotted with Kate Beckinsale, so maybe that’s a thing? People reported that the pair were together first at Netflix’s Golden Globes afterparty and then they were spotted holding hands leaving the West Hollywood, CA, venue Largo at the Coronet after Pete Davidson had done a set.

Women Are Using Ariana Grande’s New Song To Prove That Men Are F*cking Dogs

In case you missed it, Ariana Grande dropped a brand new album on Friday—the second album she’s dropped in less than six months. Thank U, Next is an album all about self-love, moving on, and female empowerment, according to Grande herself. The singer spent the last few months after a public breakup from her ex-fiancé Pete Davidson and the loss of her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, with close friends producing, writing, and recording the album in the studio. She claims it was “better than therapy.”

One of the songs on the new album has been causing quite the commotion—not only because of its track title but because of the surprises it’s jampacked with. “Break Up With Your Boyfriend, I’m Bored” is not only a clever and petty title but Grande also samples *NSYNC’S “It Makes Me Ill” on the song. Not to mention, she dropped the music video along with the album on Friday, too.

While people have been bumping the album (so much so, the entire tracklist has taken over the Top 20 on Apple Music and Spotify), they’ve also been using the lyrics for some tricks and treats. Like, when Twitter user @holy_schnitt told women online to text a guy they “think is shady” saying “break up with your girlfriend, I’m bored,” to see how they would respond.

The result? Men are f*cking dogs, y’all. Not all of them, but, most of them.

Shady.

Gross.

Oh okay.

NAH.

Da fuck?

Nope.

Some of the responses were…unexpected though.

What a man.

“Stay bored.”

Ariana Grande Just Took Out Her Ponytail And Fans Are Shook Over Her Natural Hair

For years, Ariana Grande has had one signature look that she’s been known for—her long ponytail.

While fans and followers obsessed over it, Grande has always been honest about the ponytail being extensions. Regardless, she rocks her long hair everywhere she goes.

She even sang about her long hair in “7 Rings” saying: “you like my hair? Gee thanks, just bought it.”

Recently, however, Grande showed fans that she could get vulnerable and show off her hair underneath all that weave.

It all started with an old newspaper article that resurfaced about 5-year-old Ariana getting hit with multiple hockey pucks at NHL games. Grande shared the photo from her youth saying that she still looks like this, without the lashes and ponytail.

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1094692162510368768

So, a fan asked Ariana if her curls were still alive.

https://twitter.com/arianashijabi/status/1094693005724995585

Another dug into the archives looking for her old school locks.

https://twitter.com/aintgotnotears/status/1094693443870298115

Ariana told fans that her curls are kind of there, but need to grow out from all the damage from when she went blonde last year.

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1094695330644295687

So, fans wanted proof.

So, Queen Ari let her natural hair fly and—oh boyyyy is it short.

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1094696382806380544

That’s right, Ariana Grande has short, natural, curly hair.

Twitter

Fans on Twitter were obsessed with the short look, and many of them begged Ari to ditch her extensions.

It just goes to show you, Ariana Grande can do anything and she will always be perfect.

Ariana Grande Puts The Grammy’s On Blast After She Pulls Out Of Performance

With award season upon us, The Grammy’s happen to be just around the corner. With any major show, the Recording Academy has planned a solid lineup of major names in the music industry to perform, present awards, and hopefully win some too. With her year of successful music releases and singles, Ariana Grande was a top name to perform at the show. However, Grande has now declined an offer to perform at The Grammy’s altogether.

According to Variety, Grande backed out of the show after the Recording Academy said she could not perform her latest single “7 Rings.” Producers of the show, instead, told Grande that she could perform the song “as a medley,” as long as they have “final say” on the other songs she performs. Grande, however, said she was left feeling “insulted” and instead of agreeing, she pulled out of the show altogether.

After the news broke, producers spoke to the Associated Press and issued a statement saying that Grande had “felt it was too late to pull something together.”

Twitter

Grande, however, wasn’t going to let her good name get dragged through the mud. She issued a series of response tweets online saying her “creativity” was “stifled” by the producers.

Many people on Twitter were on Grande’s side, supporting her decision and response to pull out from the show.

You know how it goes…

She want it, she got it.

Fans Are Convinced Ariana Grande’s New Song Is About Choosing Between Mac Miller And Pete Davidson

In case you missed it, Ariana Grande dropped another brand new album on FridayThank U, Next. The album comes only less than a year after she dropped her award-winning, record-breaking album Sweetener. Obviously, knowing how hard Ariana stans go, people were counting down the days, hours, and minutes until the album came out. On Friday, when it dropped, everyone was bumping it loud and proud, looking for some subtle clues about what songs may mean.

Grande has been extremely open about this album being a personal favorite, as it’s an album with no features from other artists and very vulnerable tracks. She admitted that she wrote all of the songs after her very public split with Pete Davidson and losing her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, to an overdose. Therefore, fans knew there was going to be some tea spilled about both famous men.

One particular song on the album—Ghostin—peaked a lot of fan’s interests after Grande did a Q&A on Twitter about some of the new tracks. She told fans that the song was about “feeling badly for the person you’re with because you love somebody else. feeling badly because he can’t compare, and how I should be ghosting him.”

https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1088170495889928192

Once fans heard this, they thought right away that Grande was speaking about her relationship with Pete Davidson. The two split pretty soon after the death of Mac Miller, and many fans inferred that the toll this took on Grande was too much to deal with—realizing she loved Mac more than she let on. Looking closer at the lyrics, it’s easy to see why.

The first verse talks about Grande sleeping next to someone and crying. It’s safe to assume Grande’s talking about sleeping next to Davidson and crying about Miller.

The chorus, also, discusses crying over “him.” Him, of course, can only lead to Mac Miller, as well.

The second verse even talks about wishing that “he” was here instead. And, that someone comes to visit her when she’s dreaming. Obviously, since Mac’s passing, this could be the only way she sees him.

One fan even showed the similarities between Ghostin and Mac Miller’s Cinderella, which, was written about Grande herself.

https://twitter.com/kehlanimila/status/1093918172544225281

Another pointed out that Grande wrote a song, reMeMber, that she cut from the album because it was “too personal.”

Another said that Grande sampled Mac Millers song, 2009, on the track, too.

Fans on Twitter could not stop posting photos of Mac Miller and hinting towards the fact that the song was about Mac v. Pete.

https://twitter.com/kaycibonilla/status/1093744511585525761

Obviously, losing someone you love can be a hard road to travel. We’re glad Grande found a way to try and cope with it.
