Ariana Grande Responds to Fans’ Interpretation of Her Songs
Ariana Grande recently released her latest album, “Eternal Sunshine,” and has a heartfelt message for her fans as they dissect the lyrics of her songs.
Addressing Hateful Messaging
Amid the album release, Grande took a moment to address fans who have been sending unkind messages to individuals who they believe are referenced in her songs.
“I just wanted to say anyone that is sending hateful messages to the people in my life based on your interpretation of this album is not supporting me and is absolutely doing the polar opposite of what I would ever encourage (and is also entirely misinterpreting the intention behind the music)…,” Grande wrote in a statement on her Instagram Stories.
She further added, “I ask that you please do not. It is not how to support me. It is the opposite. Although this album captures a lot of painful moments, it also is woven together with a through line of deep, sincere love. If you cannot hear that, please listen more closely.”

About the Album “Eternal Sunshine”
“Eternal Sunshine” is Grande’s first album since “Positions,” which was released in October 2020. In a recent interview, Grande revealed that she initially had no intention of making more music. However, with the Hollywood strikes halting production on “Wicked,” she collaborated with Max Martin in NYC, and the creative process flowed seamlessly.
Grande shared, “It all just kind of started pouring out, and after our first week together, I kept coming to the studio every day by myself, and it just kinda kept organically happening that way, so I just decided to react and listen to that, and I thought maybe it should come out if it’s coming out of me this way. Maybe it should be shared this way.”
