ARIANA GRANDE REVEALS NEXT ALBUM TITLE, DROPS ‘THANK U, NEXT’ SINGLE – (11/05/2018)
Ariana Grande is already working on plans to release her upcoming fifth album and has revealed the title – “Thank U, Next.”
Ari took to Twitter on Saturday to open up about the album, which she wrote with one of her best friends, Victoria Monet. “a new chapter 🖤 gratitude, growth, embracing our path bumps n all …. thank u, next,” Ariana wrote. “no drags…. no shade….. jus love, gratitude, acceptance, honesty, forgiveness … and growth 🖤”
She added, “this what happens when u write an album w your best friends lol @VictoriaMonet they dig up all your old sayings and it ends up becoming the album title lmao.”
Just a few hours after announcing the title of her new album, Ariana released the first single off of it – “thank u, next. In the first couple lines of the song, Ariana sends some love to her exes including Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez, Pete Davidson, and the late Mac Miller. “Thought I’d end up with Sean, but it wasn’t a match //Wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh // Even almost got married, and for Pete, I’m so thankful // Wish I could say, ‘Thank you’ to Malcolm ‘cause he was an angel,” Ariana sings.
The song dropped about 30 minutes before Davidson’s show Saturday Night Live aired. He, too, addressed the break-up, saying live on the show, “I know some of you are curious about the breakup, but the truth is, it’s nobody’s business. Sometimes things just don’t work out and that’s okay.”
Davidson added of Ariana, “She’s a wonderful, strong person and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world. Now please go vote on Tuesday, all right?”
ANDREW LINCOLN TO REMAIN IN WALKING DEAD UNIVERSE: Rick Grimes’ story isn’t over yet, despite the airing of his “final” episode in the iconic AMC show Sunday night. The network has announced that Lincoln will star in multiple movies that will continue the story of his Walking Dead character; the first will begin production next year and explains where he went after taking off in a helicopter at the end of Sunday’s episode. “It’s not the beginning of the end, it’s the end of the beginning,” said Lincoln himself in a statement. “And I like the idea that we get to tell a bigger story, maybe with a sort of wider vista. And I’ve always been interested in what’s going on out there, you know, whether or not there is contact with the wider world. I want to know the meta of it all. And I suppose to be able to kind of touch upon that in a contained story for me is a very exciting proposition… Maybe it’s the start of a bigger story.”
