This week marked the 1 year anniversary of one of the most tragic events in music history...The Manchester Bombing.
And, while arianators around the world took to social media to stand in solidarity and send our love and support to those most closely affected by the tragedy in Manchester, Ariana Grande decided to pay tribute in her own special...and very permanent way!
Not only did she post a series of tweets expressing her love for her Manchester Family on what she referred to as ”this challenging day”...
thinking of you all today and every day 🐝 I love you with all of me and am sending you all of the light and warmth I have to offer on this challenging day

But she took it one step further by tattooing a “Worker-Bee” behind her ear as a constant reminder to her Mancunians that they will FOREVER be with her...
If you, like me, are wondering "why a Bee?", well, it's because the worker bee is an emblem for Manchester, symbolizing the city's hard-working past. In fact, there are 7 bees included in the crest of the city's arms, and the city was such a HIVE of activity during the Industrial Revolution that Mancunian workers were soon dubbed "busy bees".
The Manchester Terror Attack left 22 people dead, more than 50 others injured, and the entire world stunned and heartbroken!
WHile our girl Ari may have No Tears Left to Cry, she certainly has plenty of LOVE to share with ALL her fans and we appreciate her for that!!!
XoXo,
