Ariana Grande Almost Trips While Performing ‘Thank U, Next’ on ‘Ellen’

Ariana Grande performed her new single “Thank U, Next” on “Ellen” today (Wednesday 11/7) and almost has a spill, but she handled it like a boss!

Ari sang the song with two dancers on a set made up to look like a wedding reception. Midway through the song, she climbed on top of a chair and stumbled as she stepped down from it, but she literally laughed it off. Watch, breaking up the verse with an “Oh my god” and laughing during a couple of the following lines. Watch the performance below!

Thanks to Ellentube for the visuals!

The song, which dropped Saturday night shortly before the beginning of the first new episode of “Saturday Night Live” since she called off her engagement to the show’s cast member Pete Davidson, is a tribute to all of her exes, naming Davidson, Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez and finally, the late Mac Miller, who died of a drug overdose in September several months after the two of them split up. In the song she calls him an “angel.”
