It has been almost a decade since Ariana Grande ended things with her former backup dancer, Ricky Alvarez. The pair, who first dated in 2015 after meeting on Grande’s Honeymoon Tour, returned to the headlines once again, with speculation that they may be giving romance another chance after being spotted together multiple times in recent weeks.
Fueling the buzz even further, Grande has been changing one of the most talked-about lyrics in her 2018 hit Thank U, Next, the very song where she once joked that Alvarez got the “worst line.” What started as a playful breakup reference has now evolved into a heartfelt nod to a bond that never truly ended.
