her worst

happy anniversary 

Look at you, boy I invented you... 

I was obsessed with this back in 2019, probably my most played album of that year. BUWYGIB and IMH should've been #1s.

Her best  

Iconic singles

The way I was OBSESSED with that part in the song  Ari did not come to play

 

OT: What a fun era it was. The back-to-back smashing with TUN -> 7 Rings  Her dominating the top three  Ze acclaim!  Me buying the CD for my birthday One of the most memorable eras of that year

The way everyone was pretending that it was the official MV for 'In The Head' is always a kii  Miss Gurl dropped the era so early

I can’t believe it’s already been 4 years 

Iconic but Sweetener and Positions (ahead of its time btw) outsold in quality

That was truly a moment but..

Its aged like milk

I also think many tend to forget how important this era was to her career. She was just a successful teen popstar during the mid-late 2010s but this era solidified Sweetener's effort in morphing Ariana into a full-fledged MPG and mature artist. It successfully transitioned her image and you can see that with the difference of album sales between her pre-2018 and post-2018 albums. Still one of the best moments in her career

Her best.

 

 

Ghostin' will always be that song. And I'm happy to see the love for In My Head. Truly one of the best songs on the album.

CLASSIC after CLASSIC after CLASSIC

So many bops

This era solidified her as an icon.

Up until this point she was serving singles artists. SHE FINALLY developed an album era and she is here to stay as long as she keeps it up.

Now the music was probably not the best artistically but it was catchy 7 rings was that girl. Thank u, next is a good eventual nostalgic bop.

 

I can't remember the other singles there was something about being bored with your boyfriend or girlfriend meh anyways.

 

Happy anniversary...this era made me into a believer for Miss Ariana

I thought it was released towards the end of February  Fake Smile aka her best song deserved to smash harder than tun and 7 rings

Not only that, she was also serving features artist too. NTLTC was a cute pushback to that reputation but she completely destroyed it with tun and 7r. Truly a MPG moment!
