AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande has paid tribute to the victims of the U.K.'s Manchester Arena bombing on the fourth anniversary of the tragedy.
The pop star took to Instagram on Saturday (22May21) to share a heartfelt message as she reflected on the 2017 blast, which ripped through the foyer of the venue as fans were leaving her concert, killing 23 people and injuring another 139.
Ariana, who suspended the remainder of her tour after the bombing to mourn the lives lost, wrote, "Although grief is ever-present and our relationship to it is constantly evolving and expressing itself in different ways every day, year round. I know that this anniversary will never be an easy one. Please know that I am thinking of you today (sic)."
Ariana returned to Manchester for a benefit concert in June 2017, and she admits her heart remains with the people of the city.
The "7 Rings" singer - who also named the victims of the bombing - wrote, "Manchester, my heart is with you today and always."
The sombre anniversary occurred just a week after Ariana became a married woman, quietly tying the knot with her fiance, Dalton Gomez.
The couple began dating in early 2020. She announced engagement in December (20), when she showed off her unique diamond and pearl engagement ring in a series of photos on social media.
The pop superstar was previously engaged to comedian Pete Davidson but they called it quits in late 2018. Her exes also include late rapper Mac Miller, Big Sean, and dancer Ricky Alvarez.
