Ariana Grande<\/a><\/strong> had a great time at the 2020 Grammys<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After delivering one of the most memorable performances of the night<\/a> (she performed a tearful rendition of “imagine” followed by “7 rings<\/a>” and “thank u, next”), the star opted out of the after-parties and headed home instead. But her celebrations didn’t end just because she called it an early night.<\/p>\n

The star shared several videos to her Instagram story that showed her relaxing and reminiscing over music’s biggest night<\/a>, and in two of the videos, she’s wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers shirt\u2014the beloved team of her ex-boyfriend, the late Mac Miller<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the first video, Grande is seen rocking her Grammys glam and stunning jewelry<\/a> along with the Steelers shirt. She smiles and blows a kiss to the camera, looking as peaceful and grateful<\/a> as can be. In the second, her beloved pup, Toulouse, makes an appearance.<\/p>\n

With the adorable dog in her lap, Grande takes a selfie video and says, “Turn up. After-party vibes.” She then zooms in on her pet’s face.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Grande has been finding small ways like this to honor the late rapper ever since his death in September 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s widely believed by Grande’s fans that her song “imagine” is about Miller<\/a>. She was nearly brought to tears as she sang the song during her Grammys performance last night.<\/p>\n

Shortly after his posthumous album Circles<\/em><\/a> <\/em>(on which her fans also believe she has an uncredited feature<\/a>) was released on Jan. 17, Grande shared a video<\/a> of Miller (presumably from when they were still together) working on his music on her Instagram. The “imagine” singer is lounging on a couch filming Miller, who’s sitting at a piano, as their dog, Myron,<\/a> saunters by.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

During her Sweetener<\/em>\/thank u, next<\/em> tour, Grande also paid tribute to the rapper<\/a> during her concert in Pittsburgh, his hometown.<\/p>\n

Videos from the June 12 concert, the Grammy-winning star is seen performing “thank u, next” with her backup singers. She gets through the first few lines about her exes Big Sean<\/a><\/strong>, Ricky Alvarez<\/strong> and Pete Davidson<\/a><\/strong>, but is overcome with emotion when the line “wish I could say thank you to Malcolm, ’cause he was an angel” comes up. The 26-year-old star continued with the choreography while she composed herself.<\/p>\n

Other posts on social media from concertgoers revealed that Grande had reserved a seat in the audience in Miller’s memory, and she also had the musician’s music playing in the PPG Paints Arena before the show began.<\/p>\n

She truly knows how to honor a moment.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Indeed, at the end of her Grammys night, the singer posted a video<\/a> on Instagram that showed her taking a deep, calming breath, no doubt soaking in the night’s events.<\/p>\n

As she wrote in her caption, “i had a great mf time tonight \ud83d\ude42 thank u for everything.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
