Manchester bombing victims honoured in Ariana Grande’s album

You may have gotten the Spotify notification, but yesterday, Ariana Grande dropped her hotly anticipated new album, titled sweetener

The album has been highly praised by fans and critics alike over the past 24 hours. 

However, fans are also speculating that the singer is paying tribute to the victims of the Manchester bombing attack last May, which killed 22 people. 

While no song explicitly  mentions or addresses the attack, fans believe that the song Get Well Soon is in homage to the lives lost. 

The final song on the album features 40 seconds of silence at the end of the track.

This isn't unusual for artists, but fans speculate that it may be a moment of silence for the victims. 

The moment of silence also brings  the song's runtime to 5:22, which is also the date of the bombing, which happened on May 22nd. 

Ariana Grande has not confirmed if this wa a subtle way for her to honour the victims.
