Ariana Grande Releases Surprise Single
Singer Ariana Grande has dropped a surprise song ‘Thank U, Next’, in which she has addressed her personal life, including her exes Mac Miller, who died of apparent drug overdose, and Pete Davidson.
Grande's personal life has been in the headlines for most of 2018: her break-up with long-time boyfriend Mac Miller and whirlwind engagement to Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson just weeks later, and Miller's death from an apparent drug overdose and her subsequent split with Davidson a couple of months after that.
All of the above, along with previous boyfriends Big Sean and Ricky Alvarez, are addressed in the new song, which she dropped abruptly on Saturday night, half hour before a new episode of "Saturday Night Live". The song sums up that she is good with all of her exes, reported Variety.com.

It Is True That I Called up SRK: Aamir Khan on Recommending Rakesh Sharma Biopic
While one of the superstars of Bollywood Salman Khan suggested another superstar Shah Rukh Khan to hear the script of the upcoming film 'Zero', it is no secret that Aamir Khan suggested Shah Rukh's name to Rakesh Sharma's biopic that finally Shah Rukh will start shooting for next year.
According to Aamir, such exchanges happen because he does not feel competitive with any of his contemporaries.
"I am not a competitive person and I never felt competitive with Salman and Shah Rukh," Aamir told the media in an interview.
He also shared how he suggested Shah Rukh's name for the Rakesh Sharma biopic because he genuinely felt that he is the best fit for the film.
"Yes, I heard the script (of Rakesh Sharma biopic) and I loved it really! It is true that I called up Shah Rukh and said that he should listen to the story. I am glad that he also loved it and finally said yes."
