Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande WERE 2018's "It" couple, until they weren't — y'all PROBABLY are aware that the former couple recently called off their whirlwind engagement.
Ariana hasn't really talked about the breakup a ton, instead choosing to bury herself in work — she's apparently hard at work on an entirely new album AND preparing for the tour for Sweetener.
Pete, on the other hand, is finding humor in the situation. Sure, people process breakups in different ways! In promo for this week's episode of SNL, Pete jokingly proposes to the musical guest Maggie Rogers.
ɢᴇᴛ ᴇxᴄɪᴛᴇᴅ! @JonahHill hosts #SNL this week with musical guest @maggierogers!
In the clip, Pete introduces himself to Maggie for the first time and then follows up, asking, "Do you want to get married?" When Maggie turns him down, Pete replies, "Oh-for-three!" making fun of his broken engagement with Ariana.
Now I wasn't necessarily expecting a reply from Ariana to Pete's cheap shot. But boy, we got one so strong, I gay gasped and nearly dropped my phone.
Here's what Ariana had to say:
for somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh
UM. What did Ariana do? SHE SNAPPED.
Naturally, fans were HERE FOR IT.
@ArianaGrande
I mean, it WAS an A+ drag.
@ArianaGrande
And they knew who it was about RIGHT away.
@greedyforyuh @ArianaGrande Pete, obviously. He was clinging to Ari for relevancy. Still is tbh. All of his jokes will still be about the relationship for the next 10 to 20 years.
I think it's safe to say Ariana won this round.
@ArianaGrande HE GOT KICKED OUT OF THAT $14 MILLION PENT HOUSE YOU BOUGHT IN YOUR OWN NAME (HE DIDN’T CONTRIBUTE A DOLLAR) AND LOST HIS MIND
Moral of the story? Probably a good idea to not mess with Miss Grande. That ponytail packs a PUNCH.
