Popsugar Entertainment Twitter Reactions Ariana Grande Sweetener Tribute to Manchester Attack Victims Ariana Grande's New Album Contains a Sweet Tribute to the Manchester Attack Victims 18 August 2018 by Gemma Cartwright First Published: 17 August 2018 Image Source: Getty / Dave Hogan for One Love Manchester Ariana Grande's new album, "Sweetener", has had people in tears since its release, even before they noticed the sweet way the singer paid homage to the victims of the attack that took place following one of her concerts in Manchester. On May 22, 2017, a suicide bombing took place at the Manchester Arena as people were leaving Ariana's show. The attack left 23 people dead (including the attacker) and 139 injured. Ariana has already shown her support for the victims and their families in many ways, from visiting people in hospital immediately following the attack, to organising a huge benefit concert a few months later. But the latest tribute is one that will last forever in her music. The final track, "Get Well Soon", has a poignant 40 seconds of silence at the end of it, which brings the track length to 5:22, in honour of the date of the attack. Unsurprisingly, when fans realised the significance of this, they took to social media to share their thoughts and show their love for Ariana. Ahead, see all the reactions to this sweet tribute. the fact ariana honoured the Manchester victims in get well soon allowing a moment of silence until it was 5 minutes 22 seconds long, I just don't have the words right now. she has my entire heart. @ArianaGrande you're an angel ♡ #Sweetener— chelsea (@Chelseaxphelps) August 17, 2018 1 / 14 I was confused at first, but I learned that the last 40 sec of silence on “Get Well Soon” are to honor the victims of the Manchester bombing... 😢we’re not supposed to have any tears left to cry but... here I am#Sweetener pic.twitter.com/mowI7WZb7A— Kaleena🌻 (@KaleenaThanYou) August 17, 2018 2 / 14 the manchester attacks happened on 5/22 and on the last track of ariana’s album, she added 40 seconds of silence to honor the victims of the attack and for the song to match the date, 5 minutes and 22 seconds... pic.twitter.com/KN9s0KZ62S— ً (@kalenminaj) August 17, 2018 3 / 14 I heard about @ArianaGrande putting the 40 seconds of silence in a song in #Sweetener for the suicide bombing in Manchester and I got emtional, she’s such an amazing person.— Dragon Zev #prayforfayth (@12PetCheetah) August 17, 2018 4 / 14 Just listened to @ArianaGrande ‘s new album #Sweetener and one, I’m quaking and two, at the end of get well soon, there’s a forty second pause for Manchester.
