Nothing to do with this album but I watched Zoolander 2 yesterday (yeah, don't ask... I have no proper excuse or explanation for that... and it's even worse than I imagined it would be!) and she has a cameo in it : she plays a S&M chick in full leather/latex rabbit suit + mouth ball gag (and 1 line I think) !That was... unexpected !

"ghostin" is one of the best songs about relationship dynamics i've heard in a while & i can't believe they came up w it on the same protracted timeline as the rest of this album
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 March 2019 16:33 (five years ago) link
« Ghostin » is wonderful. I donât know enough about her stuff before Dangerous Woman but it might be her richest song, both lyrically and musically. What a great album. The more I listen to it, the more I love it, except the 3 songs I pass and have actually removed from my edited version of the album (replaced with « Breathin » and « Better off » which share the same emotional/confessional core as the rest of the album).

No "NASA" ? It may be the one with the brightest melodies. Sometimes it's my favourite song of the album.

They had a voting booth last night at the opening show, decked out in the Sweetener colours with "the future is voting" written on it. Couldn't love this woman more i'm sorry.

(Has there ever been an album that sequences the first three singles as the final three tracks??)
Listened to this for the first time today on Spotify without looking at the tracklist and I really liked it but kept thinking "when are the songs I know coming up?"

ahah, it's a cute video (that reminds me of the videos I was making back in like 93 with my father's camcorder... except for the FX of course)and the song is fun but it's all pretty lightweight and anecdotal imo(and that's fine !).

^yeah, itâs remarkable. Iâm a little surprised it never got more attention (even after being released as a âpromotional singleâ last fall, performed on TV, etc.)

My copy of that 7â finally arrived (âThank U, Nextâ b/w âImagineâ). I donât normally buy redundant vinyl just on âcollector/fanâ impulse, but it feels like holding a perfect slice of history.

rinsed this lp the past week. 'ghostin' is the most emotional cut of pop ive heard in the past ten years, fuck. the whole record's texturally gorgeous.

Weirdly, Ariana Grande was one of the first people to know the details of this piece. I was catching up with a friend, in March, and she walked into his flat. Turns out they've known each other for fifteen years. We talked about Abu Hafs al-Mauritani's post-9/11 escape to Iran. https://t.co/s1T6G7H1WI— Ben Taub (@bentaub91) April 20, 2019

I wasn't planning to give my impressions of the show, but since y'all keep asking...
It was pretty fantastic overall; her performance was outstanding. The peak of the set is a sustained string of old & new hits that had the crowd raging; the energy was insane (at least in my section). It takes a little while to build up to that... things start kind of slow (darkened stage, slower songs). In contrast to the Dangerous Woman Tour, the stage is almost totally bare, with no props etc.; just those big orbs and projections (which you've probably seen).
They cram a ton of songs into the set, drawing from all 5 albums -- and many of the songs are abbreviated, to accomplish this, but it doesn't feel rushed or like a "revue." I did think the flow was a little odd in some places, and a few arrangements didn't work so well ("No Tears Left to Cry," of all songs, was leaden). But the core stretch of the show was awesome, beyond satisfying. I kind of wish I had tickets to another tour date!

Oh, some of the choreography was a little corny, too... but in a sort of endearingly "casual" way. During a few costume-change breaks, the big screens play video clips of Ariana hamming it up as a kid. The whole show has a really down-to-earth, "among-friends" feel.

right ?we wanted to make something uplifting that captures that feeling of being afraid to take the leap & trust, being afraid of being hurt or feeling like you wonât be enough for that person ... but also how it feels to have a crippling crush on someone. đ€ #Boyfriendtonight https://t.co/IHQ3cRC9iy— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) August 2, 2019

The lyrics involve a very specific type of relationship situation, I like when a song goes for that.

Also (fwiw), just read that she and Mike from Social House (the first of two guys in the song) have reportedly started dating.

(I wouldnât normally mention that or care, but I guess itâs relevant/interesting to the extent the song may reflect the actual contours of their relationship)
