Talented songstress Ariana Grande has told fans why they shouldn’t expect an album from her during the coronavirus lockdown.
The artist broached the subject during her appearance with Zane Lowe on Apple Music‘s At Home series.
Grande shared that the for her, putting together an album at the moment was not just her plan.
I don’t really feel comfortable putting anything out right now. Because other than this, it’s a really tricky time for all that.
I stopped doing interviews for a really long time because I felt like whenever I would get into a position where somebody would try to say something for clickbait or twist my words or blah blah blah, I would defend myself. And then, people would be like, Oh she’s a diva.”
She also talked about her ex-boyfriend, the late Mac Miller:
I think that nothing mattered more to him than music, ever. And he was the kind of person who woke up and rolled into the studio, tumbled out of bed, into the studio next door. Nothing was more important.”
Miller died of accidental drug overdose on September 7, 2018, and speaking further on her former partner, Grande said:
Talk about losing track of time and forgetting to eat, having to remind yourself to take care of yourself and be a person. He was a person who gave literally every single second of his thought and time and life to his music.
I think that’s so evident in what he’s left us with and just how many incredible and different bodies of work, everything from ‘Blue Slide Park’, ‘K.I.D.S.’, to all the way through ‘Divine Feminine’, to ‘Swimming’, to ‘Circles’, to everything in between.
It’s just a beautiful gift, I think, that he kind of touched the world with. I think the thing he’d want most if for us to just appreciate it and not forget about it.”
