Ariana Grande Gets Honest About Anxiety with 'British Vogue'

Ariana Grande is on the cover of British Vogue‘s July 2018 issue (looking unrecognizable without her signature ponytail) and she’s opening up about the anxiety she experienced after the Manchester attack.

Here is what the 24-year-old singer shared with the mag:

On anxiety: “I think a lot of people have anxiety, especially right now, My anxiety has anxiety… No. I’ve always had anxiety. I’ve never really spoken about it because I thought everyone had it, but when I got home from tour it was the most severe I think it’s ever been.”

On returning home after touring in 2017: “Everybody thought I was crazy when I got home and wanted to hit the ground running. I was in the studio the next day. I am a workaholic.”

On the Manchester attack: “It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss. But, yeah, it’s a real thing. I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well. Time is the biggest thing. I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience – like I shouldn’t even say anything. I don’t think I’ll ever know how to talk about it and not cry.”
