Musical theatre adaptations have always been rocky in the entertainment industry. Whether it’s failed follow-ups to cult classics such as “Grease 2,” or a film trying to hide its musical identity such as “Mean Girls,” movie-musical adaptations can be rather touch-and-go with larger audiences.
As a cold rain came down outside, eager fans waited in line inside 30 Rockefeller Plaza in hopes of seeing Ariana Grande perform songs from her new album, “eternal sunshine” on “Saturday Night Live” on Saturday, March 9.
Ariana Grande announced in a tweet that she would be releasing her next album, saying, “i can’t wait to give u my album this month,” on Wednesday, Oct. 14. Soon after, Grande released her first single from the album, “positions.” Her album of the same name was released a week later on Friday, Oct. 30.
Ariana Grande’s smash hit, “thank u, next,” initially felt as though it was an overstep. One of the most powerful pop stars of the moment coming for an ex whose credentials were less than stellar could be seen as an abuse of the pulpit from which Grande croons.
Grande may be the most powerful and relatable pop queen of the moment.
