Ariana Grande pulls out of 2019 Grammy Awards

Ariana Grande will not be performing at the Grammy Awards after reportedly falling out with the show’s producers.

According to Variety, the 25-year-old pop star, who was scheduled to perform at the February 10 show, reportedly had a disagreement with Grammy producers over what songs she would perform during the show.

The singer is said to have felt “insulted” after those organizing the show refused to permit her to perform “7 Rings,” the latest single on her upcoming album, Thank U, Next, which is slated for release on Friday.

The singer and producers at first reached a compromise, agreeing that 7 Rings would be part of a medley that Grande was to perform but the artist pulled out completely after they demanded to be allowed to choose the second song.

Alicia Keys will host the Grammy Awards scheduled to take place at Staples Center, Los Angeles.
