in "thank u, next," these are the lyrics: Spend more time with my friends I ain't worried 'bout nothin' Plus, I met someone else We're havin' better discussions I know they say I move on too fast But this one gon' last 'Cause her name is Ari And I'm so good with that (so good with that) now when the album transitions to "break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored," she is talking about self-empowerment and self-love, NOT the idea of cheating on another man, but rather herself (ie. not taking the time to learn, heal, and grow). tldr; the album as a whole is a healing album. she essentially goes from "imagine," where she discusses her fantasies, to the middle of the album, where she is telling the story of her relationships (ie. how they did not work out, the traumas, etc.. .). nearing the end of the album, with "7 rings," she is telling us her healing process. in "thank u, next," she is thanking her exes for their contribution in who she has become as a woman, no matter how good or bad those contributions may have been. and finally in "break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored," like i mentioned above, she is talking about self-empowerment and self-love. in the music video of "break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored," she is watching her crush and his girlfriend in the club, but she ends up hooking up with the girlfriend in the end, who happens to look exactly like her (ie. falling in love with yourself). i realized i said, "tldr" above; however, there is so much story behind this album that i needed to share it as accurately as possible. i also want to note that the whole ethan slater incident was first released by Page Six, who then later backtracked and said there is no hard evidence that ariana is the reason ethan divorced his wife.. .or in other words, these are RUMORS. ariana and her ex-husband, dalton, separated in jan/feb 2023, but did not file for divorce until sep 2023, and it was finalized in oct 2023. although there is no exact date that i could find about ethan and his ex-wife, lily, separating, they filed for divorce in jul 2023. i also could not find exactly when the divorce was finalized. i also wanna note that the lyrics in her song "yes, and?" are: Now, I'm so done with caring What you think, no, I won't hide Underneath your own projections Or change my most authentic life in the end, the public is essentially shaming both ariana and ethan because the timelines of both separations/fillings for divorce/divorce are too close to when they got together. while i ✨ sort of ✨ understand why the public is shaming them (ie. ariana being a "homewrecker"), it is purely based on RUMORS, and we do not know the exact details or timelines outside of what the media has released, nor do we know if what the media has release is factual. it ✨ seems ✨ like they got together while they were both emotionally separated from their ex-spouses, but we have not heard anything from ariana or ethan directly to confirm or deny this. to the general public: mind yo damn business! we all do things we should not do, are not proud of, or regret, etc.. .but lets not pretend like we are some goodie two shoes, like our lives are perfect, like we have never done anything wrong, and like we know everything going on. some of y'all really need to check yourself.. .and ariana said it best in "yes, and?": My tongue is sacred, I speak upon what I like Protected, sexy, discerning with my time (My time) Your energy is yours and mine is mine (It's mine, it's mine) What's mine is mine My face is sitting, I don't need no disguise (I don't need no disguise) Don't comment on my body, do not reply Your business is yours and mine is mine Why do you care so much whose d**k I ride? Why?
