Ariana Grande waved in the new year in a reflective post on Instagram, shining a light on the turbulent year that was 2018.
For the “thank u, next” singer, the year was a tough one. She faced PTSD following the Manchester arena bombing, the death of Mac Miller, the rapper who the singer dated for two years, and a high-profile break from her fiancé Pete Davidson.
“farewell 2018, you fuck,” she said in the post to her 141 million followers alongside, of course, a selfie. “i hope this new year brings you all much laughter, clarity and healing.”
She continued: “be gentle with yourselves and each other. if we made it thru this last year, we’ll for sure make it thru this one. thank you for everything.”
