There's not a lot that wouldn't do for her fans. She puts it all out there for her Arianators, pouring her heart into her songs, allowing them into her world in hopes that their connection can be of service to singer and listener alike. She engages with them on social media in a way that few other stars do, propping them up and reminding them she loves them. She surprises them in heartwarming moments like to The Tonight Show, as her way of saying thanks.
'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,' she told in May. '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.' They've become a family, something that was never more evident than when Ariana and her fans were forced to mourn together following the heartbreaking bombing at her Manchester tour stop in 2017.
And as troll culture takes an even tighter grip on the internet and the real world in 2018 has been one personal tragedy after the next for the singer, Ariana has needed that family to have her back more than ever. And each and every time, they've been there. The troops, currently standing 58 million strong on Twitter and 131 million on Instagram, sprang into action on Sunday after news broke that Ariana and had after a whirlwind courtship that began in June and had weathered not only trolling, but the devastating and untimely death of her ex-boyfriend just a month ago. 'It was way too much too soon,' a source told of the split. 'It's not shocking to anyone.' While the Twittersphere lit up with memes poking fun at the breakup, Ariana's fans began doing what they could to shield their fave from seeing the negativity in her time of need, flooding her mentions instead with well-wishes and messages of positivity. 'i feel so bad for ariana right now.
She's literally had so much shit this year none of which she deserved,' one fan. 'if you even have the nerve to attack or joke about ariana and pete rn unfollow me.' 'i don't how u r feeling rn but i want u to know that everything is temporary and it's gonna get better soon,' wrote. 'i need u to be strong and don't forget i love you so so much, sending u hugs. BlayzenPhotos / BACKGRID A quick search of Ariana's name on Twitter will yield tweet after tweet from fans expressing similar sentiments, all hoping to prop her up in her time of need. It's behavior that we've seen many times in the last year and a half, as Ariana's unfortunately been forced to endure more than any one person should. After the tragedy in Manchester, her fans swarmed the internet, sharing videos of her interacting with her fans, reminding her that the terrorist attack wasn't her fault.
And when Mac died and trolls began to try and pin blame on her, the fan army shut that mess down, drowning out those hateful voices as much as they possibly could. There is, however, a dark undercurrent to stan culture—aka the diehard subset of fandoms who seem to eat, sleep, and breathe for their fave and nothing else—especially when it mixes with the relative anonymity of the internet, and that's an alarmingly unearned sense of ownership over that which one stans for.
And as we've seen over and over again as Ariana claps back at those purporting to be her fans, the 'God is a woman' singer tends to find herself targeted by her own support system with unusual frequency. The most recent example of this brazen sort of behavior aimed at the pint-sized singer came when she released what she called the official video for new single 'breathin',' a video that turned out to be nothing more than three minutes of her new pet pig Piggy Smalls wandering around a bed as the ode to self-care plays.
While most fans picked up on the fact that the clip might not be officially official, one fan left on a now-deleted Instagram post, writing, 'This era is a joke and lazy.' The spiteful comment prompted a response from Ariana, who wrote, 'This era is beautiful to me but idk. Been thru hell and back and i'm doing my best to keep going. Thought this would make u laugh while u wait for the real one bc i took a break to take care of myself for a lil while.
If it were an isolated incident, it would be bad enough. But at every turn this year, there's been at least one fan—usually with some variation of Ariana's name as their Twitter handle and one of her photos as their profile pic—to snipe at, second-guess, or just downright demean her. Alexi Lubomirski/ELLE When she and Pete went public with their relationship and Mac was arrested for a DUI pretty soon thereafter, there was the fan who to tell her it was 'heartbreaking,' especially because the rapper had written songs about her. When she revealed that she'd named a song on her new album 'Pete,' she was faced with from Twitter user @blazedbyari (a handle that's since changed to @givememadIove, but is still using, you guessed it, a photo of her as their avatar) that read, 'pete' girl we know you love him but you are dumb.' Her response?
A simple 'Nah.' When she and Pete were caught by the paparazzi and Pete flipped the aggressive photogs the bird, some stans became, floating a bizarre theory that he was aiming his intention at them. She was forced to shut that mess down, tweeting, 'R u nuTS????? The PAPS.not YOU???? Stop w this sh—. I love y'all too much for this. Enough w the ig / twitter war thing.
It ends now sic'. They've, whose production on Sweetener seems to be her favorite parts of the collection, but wasn't entirely up to snuff for them.

They've dragged her for the. They've dragged her for are selected as winners for her contests. They've dragged her when her performance on the charts. They tried to with her BFF and her fans when the rapper's album Queen was originally pushed back to the same release date as Sweetener. They've promoted a leaked version of her album and then dragged her when she the fan promoting the leak.
They've even. More often than not, Ariana herself is quick to clap back at these so-called fans, shining a spotlight on the trolling coming from inside the house while putting them in their place, but she needn't ever waste her time because, without fail, her Arianators rises up to drown out the haters and remind her that there is always more love than hate. When Ariana looks back on 2018, it's no doubt going to be remembered as one of the most complicated and tumultuous years in her life. But the one undeniable bright spot, the one thing that no amount of loss or heartbreak can take away from her, is the love and devotion of her fan base and the family she's formed with them. And as she spends the next bit of time understandably focusing on her own well-being, she can rest assured that the Arianators are standing by, ready and waiting for whenever she inevitably needs them next.
Following Mac Miller’s death by a suspected drug overdose Friday, Ariana Grande’s name was trending on Twitter, with the trolls leaping to blame her for causing the rapper’s downward spiral into despair and addiction by breaking up with him in April.

In the essay, “‘You Did This To Him’: Ariana Grande, Mac Miller and the Demonization of Women in Toxic Relationships,” writer Brittany Spanos decried the “Yoko effect,” whereby women are expected to shoulder the weight of a male partner’s demons. “Especially where fame and fandom are involved, the gossipy headlines about betrayal and heartbreak seem like a more tangible cause for tragedy than the reality that no matter how much support (these men) have, even the strongest of our heroes can lose the battles they fight,” Spanos wrote. Fortunately, according to Spanos, many fans of both Miller and Grande immediately came to her defense.
And so has Shane Powers, one of Miller’s close friends, who went on his podcast Monday to remember his friend, praise his talents and talk about his struggles with addiction. During “The Shane Show,” Powers also defended Grande, saying she was an “incredible” source of support for Miller, 26, when he was trying to sober up, “There could not have been anybody more supportive of him being sober than Ariana,” Powers said. I was around it.” Powers said Grande, 25, constantly called and asked how she could help Miller stay healthy and sober. “I took phone calls from her,” Powers said on his podcast. “This little girl was unbelievably involved and helpful to him being healthy. Because whether he’s an addict or not, the way that Mac partied was not healthy, but there was no one in his life more ready to go to the wall for him when it came to him being sober.” Powers added that Grande was an “unbelievably stabilizing force in his life” and said she “was deeply helpful and effective in keeping Mac sober and helping him get sober, and she was all about him being healthy, period, in this area of his life.”.
On Sep 8, 2018 at 2:28pm PDT The pair reportedly broke up in April after two years together, though they didn’t announce their split until May. Soon after, the singer went public with her new romance with “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson.

She was responding to a Twitter user who blamed her for Miller drinking again.
The user also lashed into her for so quickly taking up with another man after Miller “poured his heart out on a ten song album to her called the divine feminine.” In a Notes app statement, Grande described how terrifying it was to be in a relationship to a partner battling addiction. She also said it was “absurd” for anyone to “minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship.” According to Spanos, Grande never described Miller in any way other than as someone she loved and cared for deeply who had a disease she couldn’t control.

“I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be,” Grande continued. “I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his (expletive) together is a very major problem.” — Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande).
