So wait it happened a few months ago but everyone just found out now? Kinda messed up timing.
Good for her I guess. But the “no scandal” part is always funny to me, like there’s never scandal it’s just vibes lol. If she’s doing great then why do I feel like something else is going on.
Ariana’s already back on tour and dropping Petal in July, like that solves everything?? I mean heartbreak is real but she’s gonna be rehearsing and somehow not sad? Idk I feel like fans always get hurt worse waiting.
Eternal Sunshine tour starting and then an album in July… sounds like a PR strategy not gonna lie. Also Ethan Slater played in that SpongeBob thing? so I’m confused why people act like this came out of nowhere. Hope she’s actually happy and not just busy.
