The Internet's Most Extra Song-By-Song Reactions To 'Sweetener'

Sweetener Day is finally upon us, and just as much as Ariana Grande's fourth studio album does not disappoint, stan reaction makes release night an event like no other. Sit back, buckle up and let me attempt to explain the most added tweets before Ariana owns the VMAs stage with a performance that's sure to elicit further pandemonium from the Arianators this Monday at 9/8c on MTV.


"raindrops (an angel cried)"


Ari's album begins with "raindrops," a cover of the song "An Angel Cried" that her grandfather's close friend co-wrote in the fifties, as she revealed on The Tonight Show. Nevertheless it's only 38 seconds long -- and fans demand more!


"blazed" feat. Pharrell Williams


Pharrell produced seven of the 15 tracks on Sweetener and his pop-friendly, R&B-infused fashion has fans on the floor from the second song.


"the light is coming" feat. Nicki Minaj


Ariana dropped "the light is coming" on June 20th, six days soon after her other group effort with Nicki, "Bed." A true album listen requires playing the pre-released tracks, also, and that's a fact.


"R.E.M"


Fans have been asking for Ariana's top five Sweetener songs since she reported the tracklist and "R.E.M" is number one nearly every time. Certainly, I think Ariana understands she's not playing around.


"God is a woman"


It was honestly really unfair for Ariana to prepare "God is a woman" track five because how am I supposed to pick myself back up and listen to the other two thirds of the album?


"sweetener"


Ariana gets it, hits it, flips it, twists it, mixes it and kisses it throughout the chorus of "sweetener." A real-life Bop It, your fave could never.


"successful"


Whenever I mention that the instrumental on "successful" sounds like the waiting room music any time building a Mii on Wii, that's not an insult. Wii music goes OFF.


"everytime"


Ariana put this Max Martin-produced banger right in the middle of Sweetener and it really did the damn thing.


"breathin"


She has taste. She has moves. Subway woman understands a bop as soon as she hears one, and "breathin" passes the test.


"no tears left to cry"


The lead single from Sweetener dropped on April 20, and I still fall deeper and deeper in love with it every listen. Ariana could even take residence the award for Video of the Year at the VMAs on Monday night for the "no tears left to cry" masterpiece of a music video!


"borderline" feat. Missy Elliott


Just because we're into the final third of the album doesn't mean you can't give credit once credit is due to "borderline," written by Missy herself.


"better off"


The twelfth track summarizes a major theme of Sweetener: making the ideal out of falling out of love and back inside it again. At least Alexa understands.


"goodnight n go"


I can hear Ariana falling in love with Pete Davidson between the lines of "goodnight n go," a cover of Imogen Heap. Her actual IDOL Imogen blessed the cover and I certainly have tears left to cry.


"pete davidson"


Though some have a want to skip any track named soon after a romantic partner, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by skipping the "pete davidson" interlude.


"get well soon"


The final track on Sweetener ends with 40 seconds of silence. Fans have found that, with the silence, the track range is 5:22, very likely a sign of remembrance to the May 22 (5/22) attack at her Manchester concert.


Feel like you're in with Arianators? Visualize in the event you stan as hard as they do whenever Ariana takes the VMAs stage this Monday, August 20 at 9/8c on MTV.
