ARIANA GRANDE BREAKS DOWN IN EMOTIONAL TWITTER SPREE – (09/28/2018)
Please note the following story contains language that could be considered offensive.
Ariana Grande took to Twitter on Thursday to get some of her emotions off of her chest.
“Can i pls have one okay day. just one. pls,” Ariana first tweeted, before adding, “i’m so f**king tired pls” and “jus wake me up when i’m supposed to sing or whatever. peace.”
Ariana has been going through a lot over the past year. Between the terrorist attack at her concert, to the recent overdose of Mac Miller, it’s no surprise that Ariana is in need of some time off.
Ariana then took to Twitter to thank her fans for all of their love and support.
“ty for loving me sm i do not deserve it,” Ariana tweeted. “ur angels in my life. it’s just been a tough month. i’m trying to get my work done and get back to normal and it’s hard and i’m human and tired. sorry i let u in or worried u. i shouldn’t have tweeted. i kno better.”
Last week, Ariana hinted that she wouldn’t be touring on Sweetener any time soon and is taking time to rest and heal. She also recently skipped the Emmys so she could lay low.
LADY GAGA AND BRADLEY COOPER RELEASE ‘SHALLOW’ FROM ‘A STAR IS BORN’ – (09/28/2018)
Our first taste of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s musical chemistry out now. “Shallow,” their duet from A Star Is Born, has been released.
In the official video for the song, there are snippets from the scene in the movie where the two sing the song together on stage for the first time. Bradley’s character, established musician Jackson Maine, invites Gaga’s character, Ally, to join him on stage. While reluctant at first she ultimately does it, becoming more confident the more she sings.
“Shallow” is the first song released off the A Star Is Born soundtrack. It was co-written by Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt. Both the A Star Is Born album and the film will be released on October 5th.
Meanwhile, after filming A Star Is Born as a brunette, Lady Gaga needed a break. On The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday, the singer/actress talks about how it was hard for her to let go of her character Ally.
“I literally dyed my hair blonde the night that we stopped shooting because I wanted to get out of it as soon as possible because there is – without giving away the end of the film – there is some tremendous emotion and tragedy,” she says. “So I wanted to get her out, but to be honest, she’s still in here.”
Gaga is already receiving Oscar buzz for her performance. She credits Cooper, who also directed the film, for creating a “sanctuary” on set.
