Ariana Grande May Have Just Shaded Pete Davidson in Her 2020 Grammy Performance
Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson broke off their engagement in October 2018.
Fans think Ariana referenced Pete in her 2020 Grammy performance.
Ariana Grande completely killed her return to the Grammy stage tonight, performing a medley of "Imagine," "7 Rings," and "Thank U, Next" with a quick change, two sets and some killer choreo. Despite all that, though, it was the last moment of the performance that had Twitter freaking out.
At the end of her set, the 26-year-old artist made a point of taking off the ring on her hand and placing it into a ring box before making a final pose.
Started this era with a ring ending without one and @ArianaGrande came out one stronger of a fucking human I adore youโค๏ธ pic.twitter.com/x9SkUveO00

Many, thought the move was throwing shade at Ariana's ex-fiancรฉ whom she broke up with in October 2018, and that by taking off the ring, she was saying she's truly over him and moving on. Of course, two of the songs she performed tonight are at least partly inspired by her relationship with Pete.

Others, though, thought that putting the ring away simply signifies the end of Ariana's "Thank U, Next" era, which began immediately after her split from Pete when she bought her OWN ring (and six others for her friends).
u guys need to understand that at the end of the performance ariana putting the ring back in the box references towards the era officially ending...no more tun or sweetener itโs in the past and now we wait for 2021 @ArianaGrande pic.twitter.com/3OPPXBqie3

The Thank U Next era started with the end of an engagement, continued with her buying her own ring to cope and her ending that performance with taking off that ring and putting it back in the box to end the era. Wow her mind. @ArianaGrande

Either way, knowing the singer, the move means more music is on its way. Let the new era of Ari begin!
