It has been A YEAR for the 26-year-old singer, who weathered a break-up with Mac Miller, a whirlwind engagement with Pete Davidson, the death of Miller and a break-up with Davidson, and she did it all in front of the world, with some people not exactly being shy in voicing their opinions.
Grande has always been super-connected with her fans, the Arianators, on social media, there to answer their questions or just respond to their comments. But she's just as responsive to her detractors.
When she and Davidson went public with their relationship and Miller was arrested for a DUI pretty soon thereafter, Grande responded to a fan who seemed to blame her for Miller's issues.
"How absurd that you minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which btw isn't the case (just Cinderella is ab me)," she had dished back. "I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be. I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man's inability to keep his s--t together is a very major problem."
She also shut down trolls commenting on her iconic ponytail, defended Davidson when he was mocked over his eyes, and responded when she was accused of "milking" Miller's tragic death.
But her best clapback of all? Her hit single "Thank U Next," addressing all of her exes and haters with a breezy and care-free tone, proving she's "so amazing."
