Ariana has blessed us with a new single, which would honestly be enough for an article because it's just that much of a bop. But it's the perfect timing she had that has made Twitter lose it, and made me realize that she is basically my idol.

Girl has everything planned and I am so here for it. And even if it's not because of Pete, I'm sure it crossed her mind as she dropped it within 30 minutes of SNL's showtime.
Like, yeah, "Side to Side" is pretty spicy, but before I had someone explain the meaning of the song to me, I had no idea. But when she commits, she REALLY does it.
And now that I'm aware, I'm more than willing to. Especially if the sass involves dropping new tunes that I will never get out of my head.
And see, we were all ready for a diss track.
You know, for her to spill all the tea and blast Pete just before he was about to be on TV.
I mean, I think that's what any ex would think of first if they heard that. Especially, you know, when your ex happens to be a singer.
I mean, they're used to it, and he certainly hasn't shied away from stirring up anything Ariana related on the show up until that night.
It would have been the perfect time for a mic drop, but I guess a single drop is the next best thing in the world of Twitter.
Ready to have that drama on repeat, ready to make it the song that we would be singing all weekend.
Okay, I don't know how ANYONE would handle it.
She released maybe the greatest self-love song to come from exes...ever? And it's catchy. And it doesn't diss anyone at all.
THANK U, NEXT.
Rising above the drama is no easy feat, especially in the public eye, but man this song did it!
A whole extra hour to get to know what has become my fave song this season? Yes please. Put that ish on repeat.
Like, don't get me wrong, I want all the self-love that I can handle, but I want a little bit of dirt. Just a little.
Like, yes, okay, I know these things take time. But she made this single so quickly that I am so ready to hear the rest!
Maybe it will go through all the exes and end on that note?
Okay, I have no idea how music writing works and that sounds like a lot for one album, but it would be super wicked.
But really, how could you even say anything sarcastic about that song in hopes of getting a few laughs?
I'd be an emotional wreck if I were him, but then again, I also can't hear the line "Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm 'cause he was an angel" without tearing up, so...
*Another guy who is pretty much a pro at saying inappropriate things on live TV, but that's besides the point.
He didn't even go near the single or say anything about Ariana and the split, even though he totally did in the promo. Strange, right?
Giving a not-so-subtle nod to the classic movie, First Wives Club, and trust me, I already know the choreo.
Okay, just under a week. But basically we are all in love with it and it happened FAST.
I am very happy that a song that was solely dedicated to making peace with herself is not only catchy, but actually killin' it in the music world.
And I am so, so good with that. Seeing her get through all that she's been through and still being able to put out hits is #goals.
Because if you can't praise a woman for showing herself some much needed love, then what can you do?
(Please note: I listened to 'thank u, next' while writing this and I highly recommend doing the same).
