This is her greatest video... The song rules, the video rules, it’s all perfecto 👌

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 !).

i might be a few week late but 'imagine' is incredible.

^yeah, it’s remarkable. I’m a little surprised it never got more attention (even after being released as a “promotional single” last fall, performed on TV, etc.)

My copy of that 7” finally arrived (“Thank U, Next” b/w “Imagine”). I don’t normally buy redundant vinyl just on “collector/fan” 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’m waiting in line to get into the venue for this show... there are ppl wearing literal Ariana Grande costumes in this crowd.

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.

New track drops in a few hours
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 won’t be enough for that person ... but also how it feels to have a crippling crush on someone. 🖤 #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.

No, it’s a one-off they made while on tour.

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

(I wouldn’t normally mention that or care, but I guess it’s relevant/interesting to the extent the song may reflect the actual contours of their relationship)

Some of the best proof that she can cut it live, and *how* is this from Ellen, she almost falls off the chair and utters a panicked 'OHMYGOD!' before regaining composure, carrying on, getting a fit of the giggles, calming down, then occasionally giggling some more every time she catches sight of one of her dancers, then they all float up the staircase.

That reminds me I have watched a youtube video about AG hitting a specific note in one song with clips from ALL the dates of the tour... it's like +10min of the same moment of one song on every night of the tour... I don't know how and why I went through that but that was actually quite hypnotic (and an evidence that she sings for real on tour !).

Well, this is... not good (and far from "Independant Women").Disappointing. Funny though how the song changes totally and turns into a LDR song during her part !

Yeah, I was talking about her 5 tracks, all of them pretty meh imo which is disappointing since I was looking forward to new material from her (but she's been on fire - and on tour - for a while, up until "Boyfriend", so that's cool !).
