61. When Ariana Grande Met Pete Davidson: Part I *TEASER*

Significant Lovers

We’re headed back to 2018. Summertime. Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson’s relationship accelerated faster than the earth’s rising temperatures. Initial tabloid reports of a “casual connection” between the pop star and SNL comic were met with mild amusement and surprise over their unlikely pairing. But after only a few weeks of excessive PDA and matching tattoos, the couple got engaged and made it the whole world’s business. Nobody could look away as they defied every relationship rule. Suddenly, even your grandparents knew their names.

For having such a short relationship, Pete and Ariana gave us too much to talk about. In Part 1, we’re looking back at their initial two months of dating, fresh off the heels of their respective break-ups with Cazzie David and Mac Miller. Their showy whirlwind romance has us contemplating social media norms. How much is too much when it comes to posting your relationship? How soon is too soon? Meanwhile, we can’t help but question the monetary motives behind their relationship as their passion intensified the anticipation of Ariana’s “Sweetener” album.

We’ll pick up where we left off in Part 2 on December 6, 2023, exclusively on Patreon.
