Ariana Grande is one of the most successful and popular artists on the charts right now, with a wildly devoted fanbase.

So it may have been rather confusing to see Twitter declaring the Thank U, Next singer ‘over’ today.

The hashtag #arianagrandeisoverparty began trending overnight after the 26-year-old hit back at claims she was being sued by Frank Ocean.

The hullabaloo started after a fan named Shannon apparently tweeted about a rumour that Ariana had replaced a cover of Ocean’s Close To You with her track with Cashmere Cat, Adore, as the interlude on her current tour because she was being sued by Ocean.

Ariana saw the tweet, and was not here to play.

The star replied: ‘I didn’t. We changed the interlude bc I prefer adore. Please stop making s*** up every time I log off for a few hours and u get bored.’

This was apparently the spark that started the flame that started the full on dumpster fire on Twitter, as people ‘cancelled’ Ari for being ‘rude’ to a fan.

However, the hashtag has now been taken over with fans defending the Breathin’ singer, after it emerged things were all good between her and Shannon.

After Shannon tweeted: ‘She hates me’, Ariana replied: ‘naw I love u. Just exhausting seeing people talk. Love u to the moon n back.’

Shannon, who has now locked her account, explained: ‘First of all, I see a lot of people in favour of me and calling Ariana rude for how she replied to my initial tweet. Personally, I think she had a right to say what she said and honestly, I would be p***ed off too if stupid ass rumours were started about me every single day. She snapped and I had it coming.

‘We’ll never know who started the rumour about the lawsuit between Ariana and Frank Ocean, but it doesn’t matter because the people on my timeline that I saw tweeting about it and me for participating in it are all at fault. It was just unfortunate that she saw my tweet and my tweet was the one that upset her.’

She added: ‘She accepted my apology and we actually privately messaged each other. We good.’

And Ari stans were pretty peeved the hashtag started in the first place, with one person tweeting: ‘Y’all really started a whole hashtag because someone defended themselves…’ and another saying: ‘Check your receipts before you start throwing shade. She wasn’t overly rude. Chill.’

Another fan added: ‘Here’s what actually f***ing happened after ariana made that tweet. getting mad over the fact that someone was spreading rumors about u shouldn’t make u cancelled. y’all taking s*** out of context.’

Ariana has now deleted her tweets, but replied to someone saying ‘only delusional stans start [rumours], most of us mind our business’: ‘well…. i love u anyway. always.’

The songstress is due to arrive in the UK next week for three dates at London’s O2 Arena on 17, 19 and 20 August, before headlining Manchester Pride.
