Ariana grande is my problematic fav. I know she has done so many bad things, and I don’t condone any of them. But she has a beautiful, talented voice, and I like to see a problematic woman continue to achieve mainstream commercial success despite being perceived as unlikable. And afaik she’s never beat anyone or raped anyone or any of the other nasty shit uncancellable male celebrities do . Politically, she is one of the more left leaning celebrities who posted about ice. I would not want her in my life and her anorexia should not be emulated. But I feel like all her crimes come from being a messy person instead of outright malice. Idk maybe I’m tripping. Cheating is bad, racefishing is bad. But I somehow enjoy seeing people get mad at her and it not affecting her success much. I also enjoy her look more than I enjoy the other whitte women celebrity;s looks, probably because she “borrows” from other cultures. I even like the hand tats because they somewhat go against the mold. I like how she and Cynthia erivo cried all the time in interviews and didn’t act completely like “cool girls”. I have only heard one of her songs outside of wicked.
"I have only heard one of her songs outside of wicked" made me cackle in shock omg. girl idek what to say to this, except i kind of agree.
i am endlessly excusing her shitty behavior because i do like some aspects of her personality. she's incredibly intelligent, extremely talented, overtly malevolent, and most of all really pathetic. a lot of women feel similarly about chappell roan, but i think ari (as you said) is actually really charming and sincere and oddly vulnerable, even when she's being a raging monster (or petty and mean-spirited, which is more common). i suppose she is my "diva", which obviously means i have a toxic love-hate relationship with her. so it's interesting to hear the perspective of someone who hasn't been a fan but finds her charming.
