Ariana Grande is not afraid of a little, well, a lot of rain!
The 25-year-old singer took a walk through the pouring rain with her best friends Doug Middlebrook and Alexa Luria on Tuesday afternoon (September 18) in New York City.
The trio of friends, joined by a bodyguard, stopped by a Starbucks for their caffeine fix.
Ariana was slated to attend the Emmys the night before with her fiance Pete Davidson to support his show Saturday Night Live, but they decided to stay in New York in light of everything going on in their lives these days. Read the statement released by her rep.

Georgie Henley is probably best known as Lucy Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia movies, and in a recent series of tweets is getting honest about the transition from child star to adult actor and the pressure young stars are put under.
Taking part in a theatre Q&A, the 23-year-old actress explained just how much pressure young stars are under to succeed beyond child stardom and how the media expects them to fail.
“I was asked what is the biggest difference between being a ‘child actor’ + acting as an adult – I said that when you’ve acted as a child and you continue to act as an adult, for some reason people want you to fail,” she explains.
Georgie continues, “Children who act are often hailed as wunderkinds, and put on a pedestal due to technical or emotional capabilities supposedly beyond their years. But as a society there is nothing more we love than to tear down those who are flourishing.
The story of the ‘Disney kid gone off the rails’ is a self-perpetuating cycle. The more we expect these kids to fail and fuck up, the more pressure they’re facing and the more likely they are to crumble.”
“INSTEAD let’s remember these are still children, going through whatever they need to go through to become whatever they’re going to be. Let them go through it without the microscope we force upon them.”

I just feel very lucky that social media wasn’t around when I was doing press junkets at 10 years old. And I’m SO lucky that I have wonderful parents who put my happiness and wellbeing above any kind of professional ambition.
The cast of Light as a Feather gather up for a chic photo during Hulu’s 2018 Emmy Party held at Nomad Hotel Los Angeles on Monday night (September 17).
The show centers on the game of “Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board”, which goes wrong when the five teen girls who played start dying off in the exact way that was predicted.
This forces the survivors to figure out why they’re being targeted – and whether the evil force hunting them down is one of their own.
Light as a Feather starts streaming on October 12th on Hulu.
