While Ariana Grande was performing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania last week, things took an emotional turn as she broke down at PPG Paints Arena while performing “Raindrops (An Angel Cried),” a song that is rumored to be about ex-boyfriend and late-rapper Mac Miller.
Later in the concert, Ariana reportedly broke down again when it came time to sing Mac Miller’s name in her hit song “Thank U, Next.”
The lyrics say: “Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm,’cause he was an angel.”
The two had dated from 2016 to the spring of 2018.
