Ariana Grande took to Twitter on Sunday to explain to her fans why she was crying while performing "R.E.M." at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis last night.

After expressing her gratitude towards everyone from her fans to her team to her tour bus driver Kurt, Ariana pulled back the curtain a little bit, writing, "I feel everything very intensely and have committed to doing this tour during a time in my life when I’m still processing a lot … so sometimes I cry a lot! I thank you for accepting my humanness."

See her statement in its entirety below.

Then, of course, Ariana continues to try and come to terms with the death of Mac Miller, who died on September 7, 2018 of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 26. And those are, at least, the issues she's dealing with that we know about.
