I was looking at the trends on Twitter today, and I saw a headline about Ariana Grande. It said: "Ariana Grande not dating in 2019," or something along the lines of that.

I was curious and read more about it, and the singer tweeted out a response to a fan whom asked about who she would be dating for the new year. It read:


Grande says she is not dating anyone in the new year, and her relationship status is going to remain that way. Although it is kind of a sassy response, the singer has made a point that it really should not matter.

We often see entertainment headlines about celebrities and their dating life, who is with who and who broke up with who. But really, how much does it matter? Celebrities to me are a whole different spectrum. They are living in a world of money and fame, so what good is doing when we obsess over their lives?

I wrote a similar article about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, after all the disgruntle and controversy of their marriage. It is just the ridiculous concept of us average people obsessing over the lives of famous people. It is not like our opinions are going to do anything, and constantly badgering them through interviews and questions on social media is not going to give us answers either.

Clearly Grande is getting tired of it. I do not blame her at all, and even though she kind of fed into how people are so curious of all her relationships with her song, "Thank U, Next," I imagine at some point it must get tiring when all people, especially in the press, ask about her relationship status all the time.

In this case, it was a fan who asked about the singer's private life. I know we all have the natural curiosity of who is dating who, but at some point it just becomes unhealthy to get involved in a celebrity's personal life. Like honestly, who cares? The celebrity should just be able to date whomever they want, and if they happen to write a song about it, whatever, good for them. It is their life and that should be the end of it.

Not only is Grande a celebrity who constantly gets bothered with the question of who she is dating, Taylor Swift has always been in the spotlight because of her dating status. It just baffles me that people care so much to even comment about, to the point where the celebrities have to make statements on social media or even write songs about it.

It just makes me kind of irritated, because if we focused our attentions elsewhere in entertainment, rather than obsessing over famous people, I think a lot less drama would ensue. I know it may entertain people, but celebrities are normal people too, and have the right to keep their relationship status to themselves. At the end of the day, would you want people obsessing over your relationships?

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
