With the release of Ariana Grande’s new album ‘Positions’ and recent engagement to Dalton Gomez—we take a look at Ariana’s history of jewellery and the music inspired by them! Her lusty new album reminds us that her music is always deeply personal. ‘Sweetener’, her album released in 2018 following her break up with Pete Davidson, was smokey and melancholic, and her 2019 single ‘thank u, next’ was full of saucy, fun tracks that told us she was over it and ready to move on.
