Ariana Grande Apparently Predicted That She’d Marry Pete Davidson Long Before They Even Started Dating

Everything about Ariana Grande’s engagement to Pete Davidson has seemed straight out of a Disney movie. (As in, they did not seem to be in love with each other for very long before they got engaged and they live in a freaking castle as far as I’m concerned.) But it looks like there’s one more fairy tale element we didn’t even know about until now—a magical prophecy.

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ariana talked about meeting Pete for the first time when she hosted SNL back in 2016. She talked about having “the biggest crush in the whole wide world on him the whole time,” and even making predictions about their marriage.

“I left his writers’ room when we were writing skits and stuff for the show, and my tour manager was in the hallway, and I’m not a crushy person, like I don’t have crushes on people I don’t know,” she told Jimmy Fallon, “but I left and I like jokingly said to my tour manager, ‘I’m marrying him. 100 percent. I’m literally marrying him.'”

This is so high-key relatable. What girl hasn’t casually daydreamed about marrying a guy she has a crush on for a week and barely knows? I know I have. “We weren’t even friends,” Ariana said.

She also discussed the track on her new album Sweetener titled “Pete Davidson” after her beau. “It was either going to be that, or ‘This Is About Pete Davidson.” I was like, ‘Why not?’ You know? You should be direct.”

Here’s to Ariana living out our collective fantasy of a lifetime of happiness with a guy she hardcore schoolgirl crushed on for a week! Check out the rest of her Tonight Show interview here:
