First, the singer dropped a new single, “Thank U, Next,” mentioning her former fiancé in the line, “Even almost got married and for Pete, I’m so thankful.”

Then, the comic turned serious during Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” segment, saying, “I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world.” Aww.

Grande took to Twitter on Saturday to give some more details about the upcoming project and it looks like she’s taking the high road. This will not be a Taylor Swift-esque breakup album.
