Ariana Grande Gets Emotional About The Manchester Bombing In Raw Interview

The 'No Tears Left To Cry Singer' admits she thinks about it every day.

It's almost been one year since a bomb that was detonated outside of Ariana Grande's concert in Manchester killed 22 people and injured more than 500 others, and Arihas now opened up about the incident in an emotional interview with TIME magazine.

The 'No Tears Left To Cry' singer is flawless on the cover of their latest issue, but it is her words inside that are truly moving.

Hit play on the video to see the latests update from MTV News...

Ari sobbed as she told themagazine she isn't overthe events that happened on 22 May 2017: "There are so many people who have suffered such loss and pain... The processing part is going to take forever."

She admits that she doesn't like to discuss the topic because: "I don't want to give it that much power, something so negative. It's the absolute worst of humanity. That's why I did my best to react the way I did

"The last thing I would ever want is for my fans to see something like that happen and think it won."

"Music is supposed to be the safest thing in the world. I think that's why it's still so heavy on my heart every single day... I wish there was more that I could fix. You think with time it'll become easier to talk about. Or you'll make peace with it. But every day I wait for that peace to come, and it's still very painful."

After the terrorist attack, Grande flew home to stay at her grandmother’s house in Boca Raton, Florida, which is where her manager Scooter Braun mether and asked her to do something that, he says, he knew at the time was unfair.

Scooter told TIME:"I said, ‘We need to get a concert and get back out there.’ She looked at me like I was insane. She said, ‘I can never sing these songs again. I can’t put on these outfits. Don’t put me in this position." The pair then decided to cancel the rest of Ari's Dangerous Woman tour.

Just two days after that conversation, Scooter landed from a flight to find 16 messages from Ari saying: "Call me. I need to speak to you."

"If I don’t do something, these people died in vain," Ariana told him.

They then decided to hold the One Love benefit concert in Manchester, which raised millions for the We Love Manchester emergency fund.

The bee, which hasbeen a symbol of Manchester for years, is something that Ari now sees "everywhere." After the attack, Ariana and some of her crew, as well as thousands of people in Manchester, got bee tattoos.

And there’s even one buzzing at the very end of the video for "No Tears Left to Cry." The bee is part of how she carries Manchester with her.

Arichose the name 'Sweetener' for her new album because the message she wants to give her fans is that you can take a bad situation and make it better.

She said: "when you’re handed a challenge,instead of sitting there and complaining about it, why not try to make something beautiful?"

Ariana is a true inspiration, and fortunately the star finally feels like she’s landing back on her feet.
