10 Times Ariana Grande Gushed About 'Sweetener'

Sweetener release day is finally here, Arianators. And while we’re busy discussing our faves just like you guys — ”No More Tears Left to Cry”? “Goodnight and Go”? “Get Well Soon” ? — we figured we’d also look back on all the times Ariana has spoken about her new album. From her enthusiastic tweets (and there are a ton of those) to clips from her interviews (including TIME and The Fader), scroll on to see 10 things Ariana has said (or written!) – touching on her album cover, her favorite songs, and more – about Sweetener before it was released. That is, if you can pry yourself away from listening for a few minutes.

Also, I cried 10 hundred times in the session writing it for you. Here is my bleeding heart, and here is a trap beat behind it.’ There’s definitely some crying-on the-dancefloor stuff on this one” - The Fader
