That letter was legit beautifully crafted. I'm glad she was strong enough to put those words out there. Good for her for going back to Manchester to honor her fans, both living and deceased. God bless her.

God bless her. Absolutely. Good for AG to not let LGBTQ and women-hating terrorist win. I'm certain this will help her healing process as well. It's awesome to see an artist rise above adversity.

Miley, Coldplay, Pharrell, Beiber, and Katy have all signed on so far for the benefit concert this Sunday. Usher has signed on as well. Those that attended the concert of the attack are being offered free entry. This is an amazing thing with such a fast turnaround with all things considering. This is the type of stuff that unites souls and uplifts spirits during these tragic times.

In the UK, it will be broadcasted on BBC (television and radio), and on Capital FM. In Ireland, it will be on BBC (television only, I forget if you can get the radio station here or not). For the rest of the world, it will be streamed online

I know people have adopted One Last Time as almost the 'anthem' (only word I can think of) to resist the disgusting beliefs the guy who did this attack has, but it is really a song about love (and not that kind). However, because of the former, I think it would be awesome if all of the acts attending performed One Last Time together and then released a studio version of that on iTunes, with all of the proceeds going towards the charity the concert is for. Almost like We Are The World 25 For Haiti or the BandAid Do They Know It's Christmas

OLT is a rare gem from her catalog. Very simple message about love.

OLT has near-bootleg level production, but the song itself isn't bad. That said, it's great that it exists as an outlet for the grief as a result of the attack for sure.

NGL I was initially kind of weirded out by how well almost all of OLT 'flips' into being a uniting anthem of sorts - lbr here, the original song is a pretty straightforward cheater manifesto. But it does work very well for this, and I love the joint performance idea.

Freeform and its parent company ABC will both be airing the concert on TV for us in the US. Facebook will be hosting an online stream.

She's back in Manchester ahead of the concert and has been visiting her fans in the hospital.

Oh my, those pics made me quite emotional Great for Ariana to do this and give love to her fans. She's showing strength, maturity and commitment. She's earned lots of points in my book... and as I did my rankdown I've appreciated her discography much more. Hope the concert is a success and a demonstration of unity against hate

Can someone explain the One Last Time resurgence? How that song translates to this tragedy in particular?
I was always under the impression it was a song about a cheater wanting to have sex one last time with her ex that she burned?

Can someone explain the One Last Time resurgence? How that song translates to this tragedy in particular? I was always under the impression it was a song about a cheater wanting to have sex one last time with her ex that she burned? It started spreading on Twitter as people were posting videos from the Manchester concert of her performing One Last Time with the crowd singing along. The caption for most of them was "They didn't know that this would be their last time". I guess that just made it resonate with people, and since it was getting the most attention of the 'sad' songs (say over Moonlight or even older songs like Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart), stations started playing it as music for news segments on it (it would be weird to have them play "one less problem without you" or "so baby come light me up", obviously, so this song fit). It must have started growing on iTunes from the exposure and when it got high enough, fans noticed so they (or possibly before) adopted it as the anthem of those in support of Ariana, those injured and the victims. Then began the campaigns to get it to #1 and here we are now "All I really care is you wake up in my arms. One last time, I need to be the one who takes you home". Those lyrics are probably about being cheated on, but they can be adapted to this situation, also

Aww nice.
Honestly until recently, I didn't know what she was singing in the verses but she sounds very clear on the chorus and I think that's why it's been "adopted" as the anthem for this horrific tragedy.

One Last Time I think works really well as a uniting anthem, especially in this context since it was the last song those people ever heard :'( so it shows that people support Ariana and the victims of the tragedy

OLT is a fitting song, sadly it's only happening cause of something so terribly tragic and inhumane Rip to those who lost there lives in Manchester and my condolences on the many families and friends going through such a tough time as a result of something horrendous.
