This is beyond sad. I’m glad other celebrities spoke out. She needs this encouragement at the moment. So sad I am praying for Ari and most of all those families affected.
In moments like this, we have to come together, regardless of beefs, numbers, awards and all that superficial crap… What happened is beyond words and everyone involved needs our prayers!
The compassion and prayers for should be solely for the city and those whose loved ones were killed or injured. The cynical part of me says those hash tagging Ariana (who was uninjured) are doing so for dubious reasons.
to truthteller, An act like than can scar a person emotionally. It’s obvious that she was impacted because it was her show.
How ill minded do you have to be to make such a comment. They have every right to send Ari love as well. This effects her drastically as well. I love seeing artist support each other. It seems like all y’all want to see is them go st each other’s head.
this is a very sad moment for music and more importantly for humanity.I do not have words to describe last nights terror attack in manchester.Lets hope for a better place ..a better days to come.
Maybe Mariah Carey’s shady ass should make a comment, since This Girl is a LAMB. SMH Someone really needs to punch her in her face.
Mariah doesn´t have to do a damn thing just cause you say so. Should she do it for every single terrorist attack that happens daily somewhere? Then stfu. Some people really leave in a buble damn it! It´s nice that people want to send love on twitter. Good for them. But nothing wrong with not doing it.
This is really a sad situation, I can only imagine how Ariana feels, it’s just sad.
This is real sad. People went out to enjoy their favorite pop artists concert and this happens smh.

Btw I know some people wouldn’t really put much of their attention to this story if this didn’t involve an artist or had celebrities on Twitter to influence your feelings on this story. Straighten up!
That is so not true. When we had the Orlando night club incident everyone was extremely remorseful even though that had nothing to do with A celebrity. Same with the Paris incident.
