Ariana Grande Fans #ThisIsNotYourFaultAriana
In the aftermath of the Manchester bombing, which occurred at a U.K. date of her "Dangerous Woman" tour, singer Ariana Grande's first public statement took the form of a heartbroken tweet:
broken.
from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words.- Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) May 23, 2017
The singer had already exited the stage when the bombing, which took the lives of 22 people, happened. The following day, she flew back to her hometown of Boca Raton, Louisiana. As the world mourns what happened in Manchester, Grande's devoted fan base is reaching out to the singer to let her know, #ThisIsNotYourFaultAriana.
A New York Times report explores the depths of the #Arianator fandom, many of whom shared this symbol (a mashup of a peace ribbon and the symbol of Grande's Dangerous Woman album and tour) with well wishes for the victims of the Manchester attack:

#ThisIsNotYourFaultAriana The only person who is at fault is the sick bastard who decided to bomb an arena & hurt others
