Grande was left horrified from the attack, saying that a concert was supposed to be a happy place. But instead, the Manchester bombing left many including the singer heartbroken and lost. Since the attack, Grande says her anxiety is getting worse.

But, the singer is channeling her PTSD and anxiety into her music and her new album Sweetener is the result of it. Since then, she has also gotten a worker bee tattooed on the back of her ear.
