On a radio show on Friday, Ariana Grande teared up talking about how the terror attack at the Manchester Arena has changed her life.
On 22nd
May, 2017, the popstar had just finished performing at the arena when
a suicide bomber detonated a bomb on the premises. The explosion left
800 injured and 22 casualties in its wake.
Her song Get Well
Soon from her new album Sweetener, was released on the 25th
of May this year, with its complete duration being 5:22, the date of
the unfortunate incident. The track also included a 40-minute
silence. Fans assumed that the song was for the victims of the terror
attack. When questioned about it, Ariana explained that the song was
to show support for the everyone who suffered any kind of physical,
emotional or mental loss because of the attack.
During the
interview on the radio show, the No Tears Left To Cry hitmaker opened
up about the impact the terrifying incident had had on her life. She
explained that she had found it difficult to find the strength to
carry on, but had done so to set an example for the world that she
was not fearful. The artist confessed that the only reason she had
continued with the rest of her performances on the tour was to show
her support for the ones who were suffering same as her, and to
encourage her fans to be strong and courageous, as well.
Ariana broke down
into a pool of tears stating that she had found her strength by
changing her perspective that was to not give in to fear.
The Side to Side
hitmaker only recently revealed that she had been suffering Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) following the incident. Ariana’s
mother, Joan Grande said that her daughter had cried repeatedly and
did not speak a word in two days. However, she was glad that Ariana
had been looking for closure by carrying on with her performances and
not giving up.
Joan believes
that it is quite brave of Ariana and her fans to set an example for
the rest of the world.
