A Journalist Confessed To Ariana Grande How Important She Was To His Social Life, And You Need To See Her Reaction

“First of all, that’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard, in my life,” the singer said. “I have met some of my dearest fans — friends, through being fans and made real friends through it, too.”

She went on to praise the way that pop music and culture can create safe spaces, extending it back to Wicked with an arm to Cynthia.

"I think it’s such a beautiful thing that pop music, pop culture, these films and art that we create can create a safe space for people who feel like they don’t belong,” said Ari. “To bring people together is what it’s all about.”
