Ariana Grande reveals she’s been having therapy to deal with aftermath of Manchester Arena bombing
ARIANA Grande has opened up about how therapy has helped her deal with processing the aftermath of the Manchester Arena bombing.
The pop star credited the sessions with helping her "deal with so much", after the terror attack which killed 22 people at her concert in the UK city.
Ariana has been vocal about how the atrocity has psychologically impacted her and how she's found it difficult to open about it.
In an interview with The Fader, the No Tears Left to Cry singer said: "I guess I thought with time, and therapy, and writing, and pouring my heart out, and talking to my friends and family that it would be easier to talk about, but it's still so hard to find the words.
"When you're so close to something so tragic and terrifying and opposite of what music and concerts are supposed to be, it kind of leaves you without any ground beneath your feet."
After crediting therapy with helping her heal, the songstress recommended it to everyone, adding: "It has helped me deal with so much. I think it's great for everybody."
She added: "Therapy is the best. It really is."
The singer, who has her new album Sweetener out, revealed how fan support helped her overcome her struggle to be vulnerable.
She said: "The thing that makes me feel OK with opening up and finally allowing myself to be vulnerable is that I know my fans feel the same feelings.."
Ariana explained: "I've talked to them about it. I have fans that have become friends of mine. I have their numbers and we talk all the time."
The 24-year-old indicated that, perhaps unsurprisingly, this album is her most emotionally raw yet, saying: "I cried ten hundred times in the session writing it for you. Here is my bleeding heart and here is a trap beat behind it."
Just a week ago the superstar posted an emotional tribute one year on from the Manchester bombing.
And the kind-hearted singer also got a tattoo of a bee, the city's symbol, behind her ear.
But in happier news the pint-sized pop star has found love again after splitting from boyfriend Mac Miller.
Ariana and SNL cast member Pete Davidson just made their relationship Instagram official.
The comedian uploaded a picture of the happy couple dressed up in Harry Potter garb.
And fans went wild.
One enthusiastically commented "I LOVE THEM WOWOW... GOALS!," whilst another wrote "Cutest couple ever !!!!! ❤❤❤."
Since news of their relationship broke, the pair had been sharing flirty messages with each other but this is the first picture of them together.
