Her agent has now revealed the reason for the non-attendance. A few days ago, her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller died of an apparent overdose. Ariana was bullied online by people who blamed her for his death.
Also, on the 22nd of May, 2017, Ariana was performing in Manchester, England where a terrorist attack occurred at the venue, killing 22 people and injuring hundreds of others.
Speaking to People, her agent said that both the singer and her fiance, Pete had opted not to attend the New York event. “Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much needed time to heal and mend.
“She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline.
