Ariana Grande Opens Up About 'Most Challenging' Year In Cryptic Instagram Post
HuffPost
Many were quick to interpret the post as Grande's response to the online frenzy surrounding her relationship with "Wicked" co-star, Ethan Slater.
Ariana Grande is reflecting on a year defined by “unfathomably hard” and “inexplicably happy” feelings.
The actor and singer described 2023 as “one of the most transformative, most challenging, and yet happiest and most special years of my life” in a lengthy note shared in an Instagram Story post Friday.
“i have never felt more pride or joy or love while simultaneously feeling so deeply misunderstood by people who don’t know me, who piece whispers together and make what they want out of me and their assumptions of my life,” Grande wrote. “i have learned how much more important one of those things is than the other.”
She went on to note that she’d be “reacting to things that deserve my energy only and removing and protecting myself from things that do not,” but remained noticeably cryptic with regard to specifics.
