Ariana Grande Says "Thank U, Next" to Her Signature Ponytail with a New Short Haircut

If you're anything like us, you've been following the Ariana Grande/Pete Davidson whirlwind romance-turned-engagement-turned-breakup with the same kind of intensity others might reserve for the last five minutes of a tied Super Bowl game. And as much as we're loving the drama of Saturday Night Live digs and everyone's new favorite breakup anthem, as beauty lovers ourselves, our favorite move in this chess game might just be the most subtle yet: Ariana's post-breakup haircut. 

The post-breakup haircut is a move as old as time. Your whole life changes and suddenly you feel the urge to change up your look — to give yourself a boost of confidence, to make your ex jealous, to exercise your control when so many things feel out of control, or all of the above. And for Ariana, this snip is especially extreme since her name has basically become synonymous with her stick straight, hip-grazing, cascading high ponytail. Take a look at this bomb Ariana just dropped: 

Ariana's fresh, shoulder-grazing lob looks nothing short of amazing. Also amazing: Her nonchalant caption about the filter removing her eyebrows, as if anybody's looking at that. 

And maybe this is not Pete Davidson-related at all. Maybe she's just ready to take some (literal) weight off her shoulders, and try something new, entirely for herself. Either way, we're into it.
