Pop superstar Ariana Grande is going throw a widely publicized breakup with SNL cast member Pete Davidson, per earlier reporting from the Inquisitr .
One of the ways she’s coping with the breakup is with the release of her latest single, “Thank U, Next.” The 25-year-old singer spends much of the song thanking a list of her ex-boyfriends, after which she reaches the conclusion that she needs time — nay, a relationship — with herself for a change, as reporting from Billboard points out.
It’s a positive song whose message is resonating with her fans across the world. One such fan decided to ask on Twitter a question about who has helped her with figuring things out.
“Who is Ariana’s therapist and are they accepting new clients?” user @hellakyra wrote to the diva.
The message was probably meant to be a cheeky way to say to Grande that she is doing very well coping with her recent, very public breakup. The singer herself recognized the joke for what it was — and sent a message back.
“Lmaooo this is funny as F***,” Grande wrote in a tweet . She then proceeded to take things seriously for a moment.
“But in all honesty therapy has saved my life so many times,” she added. “If you’re afraid to ask for help, don’t be. u don’t have to be in constant pain & u can process trauma. i’ve got a lot of work to do but it’s a start to even be aware that it’s possible.”
