Ariana Grande Gets Emotional Over Manchester & Mental Health

Since the 2017 terrorist attack at her Manchester concert, Ariana Grande has quietly dealt with her trauma, overcoming her reluctance to perform live for the One Love Manchester tribute concert. Grande hasn't spoken extensively about the bombing because hadn't wanted to "give it that much power," but in a new interview with Beats 1 Radio, the pop star opened up about her grief. "It's just about being there for each other and helping each other through scary times and anxiety," she said, moved to tears. "There's just some dark shit out there, man. We just have to be there for each other as much as we can. You just never fucking know."

Grande also revealed that she recorded the sweetener track "Get Well Soon" as a "musical hug" for anyone dealing with trauma. "I want to make songs that people feel good and less alone. It's not just about that. It's also about personal demons and anxiety and more intimate tragedies as well," she said. "Mental health is so important. People don't pay enough mind to it because we have things to do. We have schedules; we have jobs; we have kids and places to be, pressure to fit in, Instagram stories, whatever fucking facade trying to keep up. People don't pay attention to what's happening inside."
