Ariana Grande No Longer Hiding In Fear

Ariana Grande returned to the spotlight for Madonna's big Oscars party — after months spent hiding away after her fans were targeted in a deadly terrorist attack!

As seen here, Ariana became a reclusive bundled in the back of cars after the horrific terror attack in England that left 22 fans dead — and 9 horrifically injured — when she performed at the Manchester Arena on May 22, 2017. British-Libyan jihadist Salman Abedi was identified as the suicide bomber who detonated a crudely-made bomb loaded with nuts and bolts, as ISIS claimed responsibility.

The National ENQUIRER then revealed how Ariana had sequestered herself at a family member’s home in a gated enclave of Boca Raton, Fla. “She keeps reliving the horror in her mind — the screams, the chaos,” a pal confided. “Emotionally, she’s a mess. She can’t stop crying over the victims and their families, and she can’t fathom why anyone would want to target young people, many of them children!”

The insider added that Ariana was ready to end her career as a singer, saying: “She doesn’t have the heart to perform. No one would blame her if she never ever got on stage again after this.” The pop diva still hasn't announced any plans for 2018 as the anniversary of the terror attack approaches — but she looked ready to return to the stage while stepping out with boyfriend Mac Miller!
