Ariana Grande recently released her new album, Eternal Sunshine, and has asked her fans to stop sending hate to people in her life who may be referenced in her songs. In a statement on Instagram, Grande emphasized that sending hateful messages to those individuals is not supportive of her and goes against the intention behind her music. “I just wanted to say anyone that is sending hateful messages to the people in my life based on your interpretation of this album is not supporting me and is absolutely doing the polar opposite of what I would ever encourage (and is also entirely misinterpreting the intention behind the music),” Grande wrote in a statement posted on her Instagram Stories. She continued, “I ask that you please do not. It is not how to support me. It is the opposite. Although this album captures a lot of painful moments, it also is woven together with a through line of deep, sincere love. If you cannot hear that, please listen more closely.” Do you think fans make artist’s lives better or worse?
