ariana grande talks about her upcoming break:
“sometimes when a story comes out that’s not directly from me, things can get a little blown out of proportion. the announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive or impulsive thing. it is something that i had decided to plan that i had quietly made a long time ago and it’s a decision that was made from a thoughtful and empowered place. i want to share this because i heard that my fans were worried that negativity was ruining things for me, but i just have to say that could not be more the fuck opposite. honestly, this is not what that is. and i just want to be very, very clear: multiple things can be true at the same time. yes, boundaries, they need to be set. human beings can need a break sometimes. and also, this can be and will continue to be the greatest experience of my professional and creative life. no matter what noises exist out there, nothing will ever be able to distort my reality or be more real to me or elaborate to me than this love that we share. the rest of that shit is not mine to carry, so i don’t carry it. i need to get out here and differentiate that from my truth for you all because i love you and this tour has been the most healing, beautiful, corrective, magnificent, special experience of my life.”
i am so relieved that ariana's hiatus is on her own terms and not forced by anything else. it was needed, the woman has been working non-stop for the past FOUR years !!! remember she is human, y'all have nothing to complain about.

Ariana Grande in speech at her Chicago show tonight while addressing her upcoming hiatus:
“I heard that my fans were worried that negativity was ruining things for me — but I just have to say that could not be more the f*ck opposite. This is not what that is. Multiple things can be true at the same time — Boundaries can need to be set, human beings can need a break sometimes. This will continue to be the greatest experience of my professional and creative life.”
