2018 is just as much of a horribly tragic year for Ariana Grande. The ups and downs of her engagement with Pete and friendship with Selena. Hopefully, 2019 brings something different...
Ariana's simple comment of "don't" on an instagram post about "finding the perfect engagement ring" went viral.
She dropped the official music video for "Breathin" and admitted that it was a little rushed due to all of her time and resources being used on the "Thank U, Next" music video.

Regardless, it was still a cute video about having your head in the clouds... anxiety, panic attacks, and struggling between what's reality and what's not. It was a personal song about a very personal topic for her. She never really had any trouble with her mental health until last year.

The rest of the month was mostly about getting tour dates, merch, and the next album ready to all be released and announced. After the Breathin music video, Ariana released the Thank U, Next music video.
The video was inspired by movies including Mean Girls, Bring It On, 13 Going On 30, and Legally Blonde. The music video premiered on youtube and broke the record for most viewed music video in a 24 hour period with over more than 55 million views. It was youtube's biggest debut yet.

No doubt about it, it was Ariana's most successful and iconic music video to date.

Ariana's take on the Mean Girls "burn book" featured the names of her ex boyfriends. On Ricky's page "great dancer," "good times man," and "friends forever" were written in red ink with an old photo of them together. On Sean's page "so cute, so sweet, (could still get it)," were written next to a picture of her kissing his cheek. The last page was Pete's page. "sry i dipped," "i love you always," and "HUUUUGE" were written around and underneath a picture of them. Mac wasn't featured in the book. A photo of him was on the nightstand by the side of her bed to honor him instead.
