@@KellyRyan-k9kthis is what i would comment if i knew absolutely nothing about ariana. you’re upset all her dreams are coming true and yours aren’t. stop projecting
i noticed that she's been so vulnerable lately. she cried in a couple of interviews and opened up about how she feels about her career and work. so happy for her 🤍
from the moment she broke out in the Hermione impression I haven’t stopped laughing, really needed this today and I am so happy for her and I love that we can all share this together
This came out at such the right time. Given the political climate of post Election Day, this brought the Kiki and emotional tenderness that I needed today.
Positions was a success too. 2x platinum, went #1 with 174k sales on election week, nominated for Grammys, had 2 Top 3 singles on the H100, with one debuting at #1, making her the artist with the most songs debuting at #1, breaking a record Mariah Carey held for 23 years. Even her "failures/underperformances" are bigger than some artists entire careers. And she's still humble about it and finds a way to do a nearly 2 hours podcast with you guys. 👏 A generous ICON.
ive never seen her so so comfortable in a podcast 😢 its so nice to see! matt thank you for telling her we as fans just wanna see her happy because we truly do! do what makes you happy ari!❤
she definitely shouldn’t bend to the knee of fanatics who don’t appreciate her brilliant diverse musicianship, Positions was far more a contemporary RnB project than a standard commercialized pop album. this is clearly the sound that she loves and excels in the most. hope she doesn’t abandon her own desires.
@@sailormoon92-vvme too. i love rap music and rnb and ariana i didn’t start liking and eventually liking the rest of discography until sweetener and thank u next came out
she's soooo lovely and genuine here you can tell she's gotten so much more comfortable in her own skin. a lot of people say they miss the "old ariana", but i love this ariana, "real ariana"!!!!
The love that Matt has for her not only as a fan, but as someone that loves her for being there for his sister is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in such a long time. It’s what we need right now.
what a light!!!!! this entire video was organic, kind, and safe. what a refreshing space to hold for someone like ari, who i’ve been cheering for since cat valentine days. i could feel her smile beam from the screen and it translated right onto my face. this carried such beautiful energy throughout the entire watch, i am delighted. you two are so sweet and to share that energy with ari, ugh! brilliant. please do another one of these never stop haha, this felt like a night out with my girlfriends where we share wine and catch up on life. yall three are so real for this. cheers 🍷✨
If Ariana reads this, I hope she knows, that as long as we get to SEE her, do literally anything, we're happy. We don't need Pop. We need whatever YOU want to do. Movies, comedy, Broadway, whatever! I think I speak for all the fans when I say watching you literally exist as one of the most talented and hilarious and sweet human beings on this planet is everything we ever wanted. Edit: I just continued watching, we NEED to see some paintings :D
58:40 he spoke and if youre not crying by now... I'm so happy as a fan that he gave that message, because that is exactly how i feel. We love you and will always support you with everything you do as long as you are happy❤
i wish ari could see how much i’ve streamed positions since it came out😭😭 i never understood the hate and it will always be my favorite album of all time. anyway… i love everything she puts out and always will 🤍💗🧚♀️
This is hands down THEE BEST interview she’s ever done. I loved every minute of this. I love how healed & happy she is now & how respectful & fun they both were with her. it just felt like an authentic conversation between friends. Thank you guys so much for creating such a safe space for her ❤️ this was so great
When I was 15, I went to Ariana's first concert on the Yours Truly tour. My friend and I met Joan on the street and told her what big fans we were and that we ditched our theater camp to make it to the show on time. Joan told us to follow her - and brought us inside the venue, past security, and got us backstage passes to meet Ari. When Ari said her mom wants to take everyone everywhere and do anything for anyone it made me so happy and reminded me of this - in the Sweetener Tour Special I saw that they still do this for fans who are sitting in nosebleeds :-')
I am so proud to say that I have always loved the position album and Westside has always been my favorite song on that album. I don’t care what anybody says.
She is beyond...She is killing this promo tour...I can't wait to see the movie! I was in the ensemble of the original Dutch cast of Wicked...So it holds a very special place in my heart! xoxo
the thing that matt said about how she pours her EVERYTHING into her music, esp mentioning "imagine" (and by extension the entire TYN album) just hit the nail exactly on the head. this is why so much of her music resonates - in the specific, she has written the soundtrack for many, cos she is expressing the human experience in the most articulate and acute ways, so many of us FEEL it. thx matt
thank you so very much Matt for saying that to her, she really needed that and deserves to bloom in whatever art form she decides to take. on behalf of her fans this is what we want her to know
41:15...I just can't stop thinking about Mac and her growth and what a power house Ariana is. She is the inspiration for growing into wisdom and I am so thankful for the way that was captured in this episode.
omg this is one of my favorite interviews ever it's like i'm involved in a bestie convo / ranting / talking about beautiful things. i'm actually blessed to be watching this
The way I went from crying to laughing in 20sec is insane!! I’m glad someone said it. We will support you as a human Ari. Whatever makes you happy in life even if that means never seeing you in tour again, I will just remember the SWT forever. 💕
This is the most joyful, inclusive podcast and I feel these two achieve a level of conversation with artists that we just all want to talk about as if we're talking to our friends. I can't even be bothered with comprehension right now, I laughed and cried along with this.
It’s cool seeing Ari coming into her own and figuring out who she really is. She’s had so many different phases and personalities, this is really refreshing to see
there is no possible way on earth we could ever be mad at you or upset with you for any reason whatsoever! you following your heart and dreams makes us happy beyond measure. we are along for the ride. we are here for you and we are with you always!!!!
What she said at 55 mins its so true and its showing that for her its harder to relive her pain through her songs after and after ! She looks really happy now and she is glowing ! I really believe that acting and theater is so much fulfilling and fun for her
i can even put into words how happy I am seeing ariana doing that much press but more than that seeing her happy while doing it 😭 I love her with my whole being, I’m appreciating every second of this era 🤍
55:02 i would LOVE more of Ariana acting!!! she is SOOO good at it!! ive literally been watching her since she was Cat on Victorious, and have been waiting for this movie to be released ever since she announced it on the Voice that she was in it!! Shes the only artist that i follow every piece of her work (music, acting, interviews, etc). anything she does will be amazing and so fun to witness and support!
Ari has evolved. She's more grounded now and I love that she's embracing the free fall into this woman of substance that she's embodying to be. Clap clap queen!
Being a fan of her means being a fan of HER not just what she gives the world in her pop music. She is a true artist in that you want to see her follow her heart and that art will be better than anything forced or obligated
STOP IM CRYING. as a fan since 2013 i completely understand matt and I feel like i see ari is so happy now and the music is important and she had such an impact on my life but i’m a fan because of her a person and knowing what she’s gone through it makes me so emotionally she is at a good place now and finding inspiration in new realms
i really appreciate this. i feel like this conversation is flowing so naturally and honest. the positive vibes and all of them feeling safe enough to feel all the emotions is really beautiful to see. thank you :)
oh ari i needed this so much. having been a fan for 10 years already i forget how much i love her sometimes and i think that's healthy given the parasocial of it all. but god i'd listen to her talk for hours and would never get tired of it. i love her immensely and im so happy she's happy that's all i really want for her.
The crying moment, a little before an hour in, that was so well said and he represented her fans so well when he said that. Ariana has taught us SO MUCH over the years and at this day and age it’s like whatever comforts mama let er have it. She deserves it considering all she’s done for pop culture.
Matt’s breakdown of her work and him just saying him/her fans just want her to feed herself I COULDNT AGREE MORE 😢 I’m not an Ariana Stan by any means, but I have grown up with her and followed her career throughout my life. From Nickelodeon, to her early releases, to now I’ve always enjoyed her! It brings me pain to see people give her so much hate and be so terrible to her.
my soul genuinely needed this so much after last night & today. i’ve been WAITING for ari to be a guest. thank you matt, bowen, and of course ari for making me feel hope and joy during such a terrible time ❤
As the biggest ariana fan, watching her career grow from yours truly to where we are now, I fully 100% back Ariana in exploring all facets of her talents even if that means not as many albums in as short of a timespan as before
i would love it if ariana became a full on broadway star and actress. she has such a gift and I hope she can find a way to show her talent while still caring for herself and doing things that are better for her.
My mom loves Ariana Grande. Typically she doesn't know any artists past 1980 so when Ariana was brought up one day in conversation my mom piped in with "oh she has an incredible voice." I didn't know she would even know who she is. My mom also loves the Tower of Terror. She was very distraught about the news and now believes she would truly be fast friends with her knowing Ariana shares such passion for its conservation.
hi Ariana! a fan here! no the thought of you singing less to focus on acting more doesn't scare me, it makes me happy because I've never seen you glow more, be more happy and true to yourself than since you started wicked! we love your music but we love you more and your happiness is the most important to us!
I have never seen a celebrity interview like this one. Incredibly genuine the pride she has for the project, her friendship with Bowen and the love the three of them have for eachother 🩷💚
Weird thought, but I love the way she interrupted herself by repeating “apparently” to make space for Matt to be part of the conversation and not feel like a third-wheel. My favorite type of people!
I hope she knows that there r many fans who are in deep support of this new era of her career ❤❤❤❤❤ There is nothing that makes us happier than seeing her happy ❤❤❤
Loved this episode. Y’all’s friendship is special and she’s such a genuine, humble, kind person. Thank you for the healing this provided on such a tough day given how this election cycle turned out. Wicked is my fave musical. I’ve been waiting in anticipation for this movie since I first heard whispers about it. Ari and Cynthia are so immensely talented! I cannot wait to hear and see them embody these characters that have been so meaningful to me these past 20 years.
She is just absolutely stunning inside and out. It is so beautiful so see the glimmer in her eyes, to see the love and support she has by her peers, her friendship with Bowen. I love that she will be the master and controller of what she does moving forward with music and acting. I hope she knows how many of us root for her wellness and happiness.
its so clear that she's never been happier, the sparkle in her eyes...........what an absolute angel
Right!! It's her greatest pride

Agreed. I personally really needed this distance from reality
Amen
Omg yes a cure fir post election depression thank you Matt!
Literally. We need all the healing and laughter and joy we can get ❤
Matt said it all 58:23. This is how Ari’s fans feel about her. ❤
agree, and the fans that don't support her in whatever she wants to do, aren't true fans.
Positions was a success too. 2x platinum, went #1 with 174k sales on election week, nominated for Grammys, had 2 Top 3 singles on the H100, with one debuting at #1, making her the artist with the most songs debuting at #1, breaking a record Mariah Carey held for 23 years. Even her "failures/underperformances" are bigger than some artists entire careers. And she's still humble about it and finds a way to do a nearly 2 hours podcast with you guys. 👏 A generous ICON.
For some PPL numbers aren't a measure of success for a project. It is the love that PPL give to the project and appreciation of the fans.
*i feel like they didn’t talk about it enough lol 😭 wanted her to go more in depth with that underrated era*
oh this comment ate ! 👏
Mariah has 19 numbers ones baby your delusional lol keep Mariah out of it she will never be her
YES!!
ive never seen her so so comfortable in a podcast 😢 its so nice to see! matt thank you for telling her we as fans just wanna see her happy because we truly do! do what makes you happy ari!❤
she definitely shouldn’t bend to the knee of fanatics who don’t appreciate her brilliant diverse musicianship, Positions was far more a contemporary RnB project than a standard commercialized pop album. this is clearly the sound that she loves and excels in the most. hope she doesn’t abandon her own desires.
Positions first half was quite good the second half was not it for me
BARS
fr 😭 if i’m being honest, i enjoy her r&b songs a lot more than her general pop songs. she has quite a unique sound in that regard
@@sailormoon92-vvme too. i love rap music and rnb and ariana i didn’t start liking and eventually liking the rest of discography until sweetener and thank u next came out
Finally someone else notice it. That Positions is an True R&B album. Not Pop
the masterpiece that positions is ?? i can’t forgive those who hate on it 😭 that’s her best album tbh
Yeeesss!!!! Its probably my favorite (along with eternal sunshine)
its literally my fav album of hers and I DREAM of a full length live album of it.
Literally!!
definitely not😂 But it's underappreciated, I agree.
yesssss so good
she's soooo lovely and genuine here you can tell she's gotten so much more comfortable in her own skin. a lot of people say they miss the "old ariana", but i love this ariana, "real ariana"!!!!

The fact that this combo is all the water signs together 🥹
Ive always liked Ariana. Today after this interview. I AM A F****N FAN! We are watching a true artist here. wow.
matt thank you for representing her fans so well
My mom loves Ariana Grande. Typically she doesn't know any artists past 1980 so when Ariana was brought up one day in conversation my mom piped in with "oh she has an incredible voice." I didn't know she would even know who she is. My mom also loves the Tower of Terror. She was very distraught about the news and now believes she would truly be fast friends with her knowing Ariana shares such passion for its conservation.
Imagine Ari doing hairspray agin I would melt
By the way those are my storylines
Grande is getting an Oscar nomination for Wicked Part 1 - mark my words. So happy for her.
she looks SO GOOD
hi Ariana! a fan here! no the thought of you singing less to focus on acting more doesn't scare me, it makes me happy because I've never seen you glow more, be more happy and true to yourself than since you started wicked! we love your music but we love you more and your happiness is the most important to us!
ive never laughed this much to a podcast !!! pls bring back this trio 😭
I have never seen a celebrity interview like this one. Incredibly genuine the pride she has for the project, her friendship with Bowen and the love the three of them have for eachother 🩷💚
i luv her sm shes so happy,im so happy to see her happy🤍
i love this woman so much! i can’t wait to dance for her one day. she’s so connected to everything and in tune with life, best future boss ever.
Weird thought, but I love the way she interrupted herself by repeating “apparently” to make space for Matt to be part of the conversation and not feel like a third-wheel. My favorite type of people!
As if he doesn't talk 70% of the time already, yeah, poor guy needs to be included
I hope she knows that there r many fans who are in deep support of this new era of her career ❤❤❤❤❤ There is nothing that makes us happier than seeing her happy ❤❤❤
Loved this episode. Y’all’s friendship is special and she’s such a genuine, humble, kind person. Thank you for the healing this provided on such a tough day given how this election cycle turned out.
Wicked is my fave musical. I’ve been waiting in anticipation for this movie since I first heard whispers about it. Ari and Cynthia are so immensely talented! I cannot wait to hear and see them embody these characters that have been so meaningful to me these past 20 years.
She is just absolutely stunning inside and out. It is so beautiful so see the glimmer in her eyes, to see the love and support she has by her peers, her friendship with Bowen. I love that she will be the master and controller of what she does moving forward with music and acting. I hope she knows how many of us root for her wellness and happiness.
still can't believe people hated on positions when it dropped when its one of her best album ever
