Ariana took a year off following the attack to compile her new music, drawing inspiration from the tragedy for her new album Sweetener. And her performance at the BBMAs of her albums lead single proved a defiant and powerful one, where her vocals had the entire audience in absolute awe.

On 22 May 2017 a suicide bomber detonated a shrapnel-laden homemade bomb as people were leaving Manchester Arena following a concert by the then 23-year-old singer.

22 innocent people were killed and 139 were wounded, more than half of them children. It was the deadliest terrorist attack in Britain since the July 2005 London bombings.
