Mac Miller was an extremely talented young man… Ariana is not even in the same ballpark…
Ariana trying to relate to normie culture 😂
😢❤
You can tell she misses him so much. Grief is so tough. I think she's been trying to not speak about him for years. Probably hasn't even started to deal with the grief. Ending a relationship due to addiction, running to someone else to escape the chaos of it after trying again and again for them to stop only to hear they OD. The pain is unimaginable. The guilt, the agony, the what ifs, I really empathise. I have gone through it myself and wouldn't wish it on anyone
Gosh she looked so pretty with her natural dark brown hair and a reasonable bmi.
Someone give her a sandwich.
She won’t like this headline though. Not the way to introduce this topic. Making it clip bait.
Onto clicked it.
Mac fan and Ari fan. RIP
Rip Mac Miller ❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Still reckon she pushed him over the edge the way Ariana treats men dating him and then with another man a few days later Pete Davidson then engaged to Pete
Rip mac miller
❤️
Mac Miller was her sacrificial lamb
All celebs skyrocket right after very close loved ones suddenly die
💜🎶✌️🎶💜
Ari knows grief too well. I'm glad she has found Cynthia on her journey to happiness. I feel like, Cynthia was meant to heal her so that she could be emotionally prepared for her actual forever person. She deserves a healthy partnership to feel safe in if or when she's ready. 🩷
Poor Mac. Who wasn't there for him. Who didn't cut him off? Somebody better take care of Señorita Grande!
What a Brahmanandam ❤ sheer bliss… such a fluid voice!
It's crazy how much healthier she used to look 😢
Ariana Grande grieving over Mac Miller death, Loosing someone you love Isn't easy. 🫂
Their both slaves to the divine feminine spirit. That spirit is now tormenting Ariana just like it tormented mac. The price of partaking in the forbidden fruit and becoming your own god. Madness in exchange for knowledge and power. That spirit for their stardom they expirenced requires blood. I guess mac choose to spill his own instead of giving up someone he loved
She looks so different now :/
No one cares losers
