Replying to a fan's tweet which included the headline, 'Who is Ariana Dating NOW!' sic, the pop star said, 'can they tell me too ?' sic. Despite many fans jokingly saying it was them dating Ariana, the pop star followed up her tweet.
'spoiler for the rest of this year / probably my life: it’s no one. please refer back to this tweet for future questions. 🖤' sic. The post has now received nearly 40K likes and thousands of comments.
Whilst Ariana's love-life wasn't great last year, she did have a fantastic year of music. Releasing her comeback single in April, 'No Tears Left To Cry', Ariana followed it up with new album 'Sweetener' as well as a number of other singles including 'Breathin'', and 'thank u, next', which was about many of her past relationships.
Now take a look at artists who made a comeback in 2018:

Following a four-year break from the music industry, former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl released her comeback single 'Love Made Me Do It' in November.
