Ariana Grande shared a carousel of selfies and video clips on social media, delighting her 380 million followers. One photo showed her in a snowy landscape, while another showed her in a recording studio. She was also seen wearing a grey sweater and black mini skirt. Grande's golden blonde locks were loose and she wore black headphones in another selfie. There was also a snapshot of a dog sitting in her lap inside a car. Grande, reportedly getting serious with boyfriend Ethan Slater, released a song called "The Boy Is Mine", which led to speculation about their relationship. A source said they are looking towards the future as a couple.

Grande's divorce from Dalton Gomez was finalized recently, with Gomez receiving a one-time payout. Reports suggest that "The Boy Is Mine" was seen as a disrespect to Slater's ex-wife, who believes Grande is rubbing it in that she "stole" him. An insider close to the situation said the song is a literal representation of Grande's actions.
