Ariana Grande Recycles Ex-Boyfriend To Save Planet One Ponytail At A Time
Eco-warrior Ari swap-meets her old lyrics for Ricky Alvarez because locally sourced drama is better for the environment than new men.

Ariana Grande is officially the queen of sustainability! During her Brooklyn tour stop, our ponytail princess proved that she is totally over single-use boyfriends by digging Ricky Alvarez out of the recycling bin and putting him back into her setlist. Forget reducing your carbon footprint—Ari is reducing the footprint of her dating history by just looping the old stuff like a TikTok sound.
Fans lost their minds when she swapped out those iconic 'Thank U, Next' lyrics for something a little more Ricky-friendly. It’s honestly so inspiring to see a multi-millionaire being so thrifty. Why go through the exhausting process of teaching a new man how to take an aesthetic Instagram photo when you have a perfectly good vintage model sitting in the garage? Talk about a circular economy!
Ricky was spotted lurking in the VIP section, probably checking to make sure his name was spelled correctly on the teleprompter this time. We love a girl who knows how to shop her own closet. At this rate, we’re only three weeks away from her bringing back the Big Sean era or wearing a Coachella flower crown ironically. Stay green, babes!
