The singer opened up about the attack in her new YouTube docuseries Dangerous Woman Diaries.
The Manchester attack on May 22 left more than 800 people injured and killed 22 people, many of them children.
In the weeks after the heartbreaking attack, Ariana organised the One Love Manchester concert with some of the biggest names in music, in what was truly a unifying night.
The 25-year-old labelled the attack the “absolute worst of humanity” and said that:
“Music is supposed to be the safest thing in the world.”
Ariana has now shared more of her feelings surrounding that harrowing event in a letter she wrote to her fans after the attack in her new YouTube docuseries Dangerous Woman Diaries.
According to RTE, the letter read:
“I’m writing to you this February 22, 2018. It’s been eight months since the attack at our show at the Manchester Arena. It’s impossible to know where to start or to know what to say about this part. May 22, 2017, will leave me speechless and filled with questions for the rest of my life.
She praised the people of Manchester for their solidarity after the attack, in awe of their “love, strength, and unity.”
Finally, she resolved to:
“Not let hate win. But instead, love as loudly as possible, and to appreciate every moment.”
It is honesty that consolidates her thoughtful, compassionate and cohesively human letter and frankly, we think she is an amazing role model.
