(CNN) It looks like NBC is saying -- in the nicest possible way -- "Thank U, Next" to coach Nick Jonas.

Ariana Grande Just Bought a $9 Million Home In Hollywood Hills
With the real estate background of the pop singer's fiancé, Dalton Gomez, it is safe to assume that this .74-acre plot of land was a good investment—we'll be staying tuned to see if she renovates it into her dream home.
Why Ariana Grande Isn't at the Grammys in 2021 Despite Winning
Those excited about Ariana Grande’s first big red carpet fashion moment of 2021 will have to wait a little longer. The singer opted not to attend the 2021 Grammys tonight in Los Angeles despite winning her category.
Grande is only up for one award: Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with Lady Gaga for “Rain on Me.” She and Lady Gaga were announced as the winners of that category (beating out BTS in an upset) ahead of the ceremony.
Grande tweeted to Lady Gaga to celebrate their victory: "eternally, deeply grateful for u, for this experience, to have been a part of this song and this celebration of healing and recovery, to be able to dance in the rain with u, to call u my dear friend & to now share this. beyond thankful. congratulations queen, ti voglio bene !"
Grande’s not slated to perform at the ceremony this year, and her album positions , which came out in October 2020, wasn’t eligible to be nominated. The Grammys nomination period ran from September 1, 2019, to August 31, 2020. Positions will be eligible for awards at the 2022 ceremony.
Ariana Grande's New Album: Here's Everything We Know So Far - Variety
UPDATE : Grande posted the tracklist for her forthcoming album, which is indeed called “Positions,” over the weekend. The only major change from the original post below is that her duet with The Weeknd is now called “Off the Table.”
Although it looked like Ariana Grande might literally want her fans to just watch the clock — the countdown clock, that is, that showed up on her website last Saturday night — she got more specific on Wednesday about the most immediate thing being counted down to. “Positions,” the first single from her upcoming sixth studio album, will debut as the clock strikes 12 this Friday morning.
The pre-save page for the “Positions” single includes cover art that may be a tease of the ultimate album cover as well, showing Grande from her lips down to her knees in a short skirt and matching midriff-baring top. (Perhaps, unlike her last two albums, she’s destined to remain right-side-up this time?)
An ominous instrumental track appears on YouTube with the name “Positions” on in it, and what appears to be Grande speaking in the background.
With most of her sixth album recorded during COVID-19 quarantining, its lyrical themes are rumored to focus on sex, romance ruinous and righteous, and disconnection (she’s been in an apparently steady relationship with real estate mogul Dalton Gomez since mid-summer).
Another hint that bad or infectious romance may be on Grande’s mind is the album’s possible inclusion of “Toxic Love,” a new duet shared with The Weeknd. This is not the first time that Grande and The Weeknd have been paired for a romantic showdown; check “Love Me Harder,” from her 2014 album “My Everything,” for reference.
While rapper-vocalist Ty Dolla $ign’s name has been flashed around as one of Grande’s “Positions” collaborators on the FOTP forums just in time for his new album drop this weekend, Grande herself discussed the possible inclusion of Doja Cat on whatever next project she would record back in May. During an interview on Zane Lowe’s program for Apple Music, Grande revealed that she had recorded a new track that she wrote and performed with Doja Cat that would presumably make its way onto what should be her next recorded project. “I want to save (it) for whenever it’s time again to drop,” said Grande during the interview.
The supposed 14-track album, so far, includes one track listed as “34 35” which has a simple, repetitious backing track found here without any information save for Grande’s name and familiar French-manicured fingertips from Saturday’s initial Instagam drop.
Another set of beats listed as “brb,” shich stands for “Be Right Back,” is a rumored new Ariana track whose backing music can be found here .
Quite a lot has been going on:
Calm Teams up With Ariana Grande, Katy Perry for 'Sleep Remix Series'
Remixes designed to help listeners fall asleep will feature "Circles" by Post Malone, "Golden Hour" by Kacey Musgrave, "Breathin'" by Ariana Grande, "Sola" by Luis Fonsi, "While We're Young" by Jhene Aiko, "Double Rainbow" by Katy Perry, and "Wonder" by Shawn Mendes, according to a UMG press release provided to Insider.
7 remixes are set to be released on Friday, which is also World Sleep Day. The remixes will be exclusive to the app for three months, Rolling Stone reported. Cynthia Sexton, UMG's executive vice president of Music Curation, told Rolling Stone that the company will then be "allowed to distribute the music to standard streaming platforms if the move feels right."
Wellness experts from Calm partnered with music producers and artists to create the remixes, according to Rolling Stone.
Michael Acton Smith, co-founder and co-CEO of Calm, said the Calm team developed the idea for longer mixes in an effort to make more effective sleep music. "Even if something is really soothing, you can't always get into a flow state and drift off to sleep. You have a song for a few minutes and then you go onto the next one and the next one," he told Rolling Stone.
Courtney Phillips, Calm's Head of Music, said in the press release that the platform will "harness the incredible power of music to enhance our members' mental wellness experience."
Demi Lovato Reveals Title of Her Song With Ariana Grande | Billboard
Demi Lovato shared the title of her collaboration with Ariana Grande in her Paper cover story Monday (March 22).
Another song, "The Kind of Lover I Am," directly nods to Lovato's queer identity that she subtly hinted at in her 2015 hit "Cool for the Summer," with lyrics about how it "doesn't matter if you're a woman or a man."
The pop star also confirmed another featured artist will be on her forthcoming LP: Noah Cyrus . She posted an audio snippet of their collab on her socials over the weekend.
A Guide To Ariana Grande's Many Beautiful Tattoos
Yes. The 26-year-old's tattoo collection attracts roughly 12,100 internet searches in the UK and 90,500 in the US on a monthly basis, according to our experts.
Over the years, Grande has amassed a sizeable collection of of intricate and personal inkings, so many in fact that if we're honest we're not sure we've covered them all here.
She's even incorporated her love of body ink into her hit song '7 Rings' with the lyric: 'Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble'.
Here's a complete guide to Grande's tattoo collection, from the dates to the inspiration to the artist...
At the 2020 Grammy awards, where Grande performed a medley of her hits, the singer showcased a butterfly on her left tricep.
A tattoo Grande added to her collection over the past year or so is this quote from one of her favourite films The Truman Show. A huge fan of Jim Carey - which she's expressed multiple times - Grande had the quote: 'In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight' inscribed on her. However the quote is written from right to left, while her friend Courtney Chipolone got the same tattoo but written the conventional way.
The beloved animated character doesn't just evolve into one other Pokémon version but several which is perhaps why she chose it, and was added by tattoo artist Kane Navasard.
In 2018, Grande debuted one of the largest tattoos she has, of Chichiro a character from Spirited Away. Grande has posted videos of herself watching the anime film and has also explained the female character as having matured from 'an easily-scared girl with a child-like personality to match her age to a hard-working, responsible and brave young girl who has learned to put her fears aside for those she cares for.'
Grande has long said that her favourite phrase to say is 'Honest To God, Knock Me Out'. She loves the phrase so much that she had its acronym inked on her hand.
Ariana Grande Engagement Announcement: What It Means - The New York Times
On Sunday, when Ariana Grande announced her engagement on Instagram , the congratulatory likes and comments flowed in immediately. So did the questions: about her fiancé (a luxury real estate agent named Dalton Gomez), the duration of their relationship (roughly a year, though quarantine timelines should probably be weighted to account for constant contact), the composition of her photography (was she in a car?) and, of course, the ring.
Celebrity engagements have driven entertainment news cycles for decades, but Ms. Grande's announcement — shared on the eve of her new Netflix special and just over two years after her split from the comedian Pete Davidson — has drawn outsize interest and become one of Instagram's most-liked posts of all time.
Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich did it. Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz did it. Your cousin did it, and so did your old college roommate (probably).
Now, Ariana Grande has joined a long line of celebrities and mere mortals who said yes to their quarantine sweeties this year, irrespective of traditional timelines .
According to People Magazine , Ms. Grande and Dalton Gomez, who works in residential real estate in Los Angeles, started dating in January. In May, he appeared in the music video for Ms. Grande's song with Justin Bieber, " Stuck With U ." Seven months later, the two are engaged.
"A bunch of people have started relationships, probably because people are lonely, they're spending more time getting to know someone, and people are being less promiscuous," said Lauren Bille, the chief executive of Allbodies, a health education platform.
For some couples, quarantining together seems like the ultimate test: If they can make it through the manic boredom, perpetual anxiety and unceasing tragedy of the pandemic together, they can make it through anything. Right?
Back in 2017, when people still made their relationships " Instagram official ," the default engagement announcement format was a ring selfie : a zoomed-in shot of a perfectly manicured hand (usually a woman's), held up against a clean background. The ring was always the focal point.
Since then, Instagram has evolved from a feed of staged images to something much messier, devoid of a dominant aesthetic or careful curation. In 2020, a year so hellish that the old rules of Instagram could no longer apply, a new format surged in popularity: the photo dump.
