And the fans reacted!
Ariana Grande canceled another scheduled personal appearance this past weekend as her difficult breakup news was revealed — and her manager Scooter Braun is NOT happy!
The Sweetener singer had previously called off her performance on Saturday Night Live‘s 44th season opener a couple weeks ago at the very last minute, drawing the ire of her team.

And this time, on Saturday night, Grande was a no-show due to “personal reasons” at the F**k Cancer Gala in Los Angeles, where she was again supposed to perform.
A source revealed to Us Weekly that Braun seemed “annoyed” and “pissed/disappointed” that Grande was absent at the event.
He even spoke to those in attendance at the gala about Grande’s absence, saying (below):
“Someone I’m very close to was supposed to come sing for you today, and because of things that she’s going through, she couldn’t be here today. And while I was frustrated, being the manager, my wife, being who she always is, just looked at me and she goes, ‘She needs this time.’”
That last part is almost certainly true.
At the gala, The Daily Show‘s Trevor Noah filled in for Grande at the last minute, performing a standup comedy routine for the entertainment portion of the show.
As for the young starlet, she’s obviously had a couple of very tough months recently. We can only hope she has plenty of emotional and physical support around her.
Thinking good thoughts for all!
