In case you missed it, Ariana Grande called out her ex-fiancé Pete Davidson HARD on Twitter earlier this week. It was her first time doing so since their breakup was announced last month.
Basically, Pete mocked their whirlwind engagement in an SNL promo, by proposing to musical guest Maggie Rogers...
ɢᴇᴛ ᴇxᴄɪᴛᴇᴅ! @JonahHill hosts #SNL this week with musical guest @maggierogers!
...and Ariana was NOT having it. She accused him of ~clinging to relevancy~.
She then followed up that tweet with a simple message: "thank u, next."
WELL. Ariana has since deleted both of those tweets, but it looks like she stands by her "thank u, next" message. Because, well, she keeps on tweeting it:
cause look what i found .... ain’t no need for searching and for that i say.... thank u, next
Like, she's been tweeting it a lot:
and for that i say ....... thank u, next
She also took a minute to address those comments she made about Pete:
no drags.... no shade..... jus love, gratitude, acceptance, honesty, forgiveness ... and growth 🖤
And concluded it by saying...yup, you guessed it:
anyway ...... thank u, next
"Thank u, next" sure seems to be an important phrase to her. She's even responded to a fan about the correct way to spell it:
@weviibin thank u, next
All of this has led people to believe that Ariana's next album — which she's been hard at work on in the wake of her breakup — will be called "thank u, next." And there are plenty of receipts to prove it...
1) A fan dug up an old video of Ariana saying, "Thank you, next!" in an interview, to which Ariana herself replied:
@bocaslumos this what happens when u write an album w your best friends lol @VictoriaMonet they dig up all your old sayings and it ends up becoming the album title lmao
2) Another fan asked Ariana what the title of her next album would be, and here's how she responded:
u already know it 🖤 https://t.co/AymjaZARLd
3) Ariana compared "thank u, next" to an older song of hers, "Knew Better," saying that the two are "exact opposites."
it’s funny because ty,n is kinda the exact opposite of knew better but ..... you’ll see https://t.co/h6NwfP8dkt
AND FINALLY, we know that there's at LEAST a song she's working on called "thank u, next," because Ariana just tweeted this screenshot:
K. So. What have we learned today? Ariana's next album will probably be about her breakup with Pete, and it will prooobably be named after a tweet she wrote dragging him. In other words, I'M EXCITED.
