Ariana Grande’s Wicked co-star Bowen Yang has recently shared two cents on singer’s new album, Eternal Sunshine.
Speaking on the latest episode of Las Culturistas podcast, the Fire Island actor praised Ariana’s album, saying it has “truth and authenticity in conjunction with a sensitivity”.
“I think, I can say, not autobiographical as an album, but she was very, very, very purposeful about the way people would be portrayed in this and the way she would portray herself in this and how it's not a totally, ‘my hands are clean’,” stated the 33-year-old.
Bowen said, “She could have absolutely put out an album that was like 'I'm going to preserve and protect things about my own image' or wrest the narrative from someone or the media or people in these situations.”
Reflecting on Ariana’s song We Can’t Be Friends, the actor/comedian explained, “Everyone’s being like 'the sanctity of marriage. Of course, it is so much more complicated than that, but at the heart of the conversations that we've had in infidelity discourse with everybody.”
“Because, I will also just say, the thing in 'We Can't Be Friends' is like, the narrative is wrong. And she's not even outwardly saying that, but the narrative has been incorrect, and people have even retracted things in these stories with no apology to the people who are involved,” mentioned the Saturday Night Live star.
Addressing Ariana’s romance with Ethan Slater, she added, “I can tell you for a fact that what people out there seem to be clinging onto is incorrect.”
