I hope this message is better received than it was on X, where I literally got death threats from hysterical fans just for questioning certain things.

Ever since Ariana and Ricky seem to have gone public (although I still don't think they've actually confirmed anything themselves beyond being photographed together), I've found Ricky's family's constant presence around her really unhealthy.

Since the New York shows, Ricky has been bringing around a dozen family members, along with several friends, to see Ariana. According to someone who claims to be in contact with members of his family, Ariana has been covering the costs—including hotels for some of them. They've been getting VIP tickets, free merch, and pretty much anything they want without any issue.

What bothers me the most is seeing Ricky's aunts, cousins, and other relatives communicating with Instagram pages like rickianasources, sharing private photos and personal information while justifying it by saying, "Well, it was posted on a private Facebook account, so it's fair game." It honestly drives me crazy that so many people seem to think that's perfectly normal simply because it gives them leaked glimpses into Ariana's private life. Everyone is hoping for photos of them kissing, hints about a future wedding, a baby, and so on. 😂 Meanwhile, Ricky's own family seems happy to showcase Ariana to these so-called insiders just to keep people talking about them.

The same goes for some of Ricky's friends. The day after the Austin show, when he went back to San Diego for a metalcore concert by one of his friends (I think this was mentioned on the San Diego subreddit), people were joking that he was back to being the "backup option," and he apparently laughed along with everyone, as if people mocking his girlfriend didn't bother him at all.

Overall, I can't shake the feeling that Ricky's entire family is thrilled to have Ariana back in their lives—not just because of the relationship itself, but because of everything that comes with it. From the outside, it doesn't strike me as a particularly healthy dynamic, and I find that genuinely concerning.

Recently I had a conversation with a friend and we were comparing Ariana’s albums, what was her best work, our personal rankings and what we hope Petal was going to sound like.

My rank

Positions
Dangerous Woman
Eternal Sunshine
Yours Truly
My Everything
Thank u, next
Sweetener

Personally I believe Positions and Dangerous Woman are her best works and a great representation of Ariana. From her lyrics, vocals and features they are both very well rounded albums.

What are your opinions?

so cute, love a hype man!

having a good time, hyping our girl up! love that!!

also love that she’s doesn’t feel the need to hide them being together, her past 2 guys she was very private, and understandably so! the public was harsh. but she’s been vocal on healing the need to people please or worrying what others think and say… and that healing shows! because screw anyone who bashes happiness. haha! proud of her!

glad she’s happy and having fun! she sooo deserves it.

Hello everyone! I am writing on behalf of my friend who is wanting to attend the concerts but is having difficulties as he feels the upcharge from resellers, pricing him out of his dream of attending the concert. We are looking for anyone with a ticket of her July 25, Boston TD garden concert, who is willing to sell the ticket through a verified source for around $300-400. Thank you!

Payment methods include: PayPal

Hi

Going to the concert at the united center and it says it starts at 9 now. I could have sworn it started at 8 like the others. Anyone know if this is just an error or really starting later?

Hello! I remember there being a shirt on the official website which had some of the lyrics of six thirty on it (this was around positions era). I randomly remembered the shirt and was looking for it on Depop and I couldn’t find it at all which wasn’t too surprising. I instead went to google to try to find it on eBay, but I seriously cannot find any trace of this shirt existing! If anyone remembers or has this shirt please let me know just because I’m curious if I’m making this up! I remember it being light blue or teal-ish if that helps at all! I’m not looking to purchase it off anyone from here I just want to know if it exists :)

can anyone confirm if they’re allowing digital cameras into any of the shows? i got one for my birthday and i really wanted my first time using it to be at hers but i haven’t seen anything about it 😭

Best decision of my life - the pics really turned out amazing!

I can NOT WAIT I’ve had it added to my playlist for 6 weeks now, Ahhhh my heart

My friend is a huge friend of Ari and her bachelorette party is coming up! I have playlists made into categories of chill morning coffee vibes, fuvk the exes, outside sunshine, the r-rated ass shaking, and country. I need some more ideas that are Ari songs, songs she features on, songs she likes and anything similar that Ari fans love. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP🤩 the photos are the start of the playlists so yall can get the vibe

What are the odds she will restock the signed vinyls? They were in my cart yesterday but the captcha question about Ari's mom kept saying I was incorrect because I put in Joan instead of Joan Grande :(

ok so i fully admit that i’m now falling in love with some of fan favorite songs by ariana that i’m now just discovering.. and i feel really guilty about it?? not sure if this is a right place to vent (so i apologize in advance lol pls don’t flame me) but i went to two nights of her show when she came to my city and i got those tickets last minute because i really appreciate her music, and realized how often i listen to her. something in me was screaming to go a second night because the first night was filled with shock that i was actually seeing her. i identify as lgbtq+ and admire how much she’s done for the community and others and wanted to support her. i remember resonating with some of her songs in ES whenever i felt alone, and would listen to the same songs over and over, on and off since 2018/19ish, but i just now recently started listening to more of My Everything and Yours Truly and realized what I was missing out on.

i never watched wicked or victorious, i don’t know much about her life (sorry didn’t know how else to phrase it—stuff like her relationships, inside jokes, stuff most? arianators would know. i didn’t really consume that kind of media content until now), outfit references, and there’s definitely songs that i feel embarrassed to admit i didn’t know before. i just love her music, personality, and everything she stands for.

i just keep hearing about all the lifelong, diehard fans that couldn’t get tickets and feel bad. i did get nosebleeds for n1 and obstructed seats for n3 partially because of financial reasons but also because i didn’t want to take an experience away from one of those fans lol🥲

i made sure to sing along and stand for as much of the concert and i felt like i truly enjoyed it (i recognize all the songs in her setlist) but man. again, sorry for the vent, ik there’s worse things to worry about in the world rn 😭 just something i wanted to let off my chest because it almost feels like i’m larping being a fan (lmao) but i genuinely love ari’s work and what she does, idk why i never became this (emotionally) attached to her music like this before

Thanks to flight delays getting in and out of JFK, I am unable to attend tonight's show with my best friend, who already lives in the city. My flight today was delayed to this morning and, of course, canceled.

I am, of course, happy for the airlines for looking out for my and everyone else's safety, but I am quite sad I won't be able to attend tonight. I purchased the tickets during that intense Ticketmaster war and had been looking forward to this trip all summer, since it would be my only vacation.

Again, this is a champagne problem. I'm very privileged to have this problem, but again, I am disappointed! If anyone else is unable to make the show, I send you love. If you are able to attend, have the best time ever, and please arrive and leave the venue safely!

(I am NOT selling tickets. The tickets are going to my friend and a friend in town)
