    James: she has the 1,2 and 3 spot on the billboard hot 100 Ariana: I’m sorry
  • @bluestargirl55
    I can feel her nerves going off the charts. I like how James kept touching her hand almost to reassure her that it's going to be okay. Poor thing.
  • James: trying so hard to explain to Ariana why she’s the best artist and everyone loves her Ariana: “I’m going to the studio, do you want to come?”
  • @milmilboo
    “sorry if I’m up and down a lot sorry that I think I’m not enough and sorry if I say sorry way too much”
  • @unknown-if9ed
    As soon as James said "after everything you've been through" her face just dropped.
  • 3:46 i literally started crying when she said "oh mannn" because her mood completely changed and she was about to cry. PTSD is a bitch.
  • @Izabeleqka
    she’s so humble and weird. I love her sm
  • James knows she’s anxious so he sits on the sofa with her to make it seem more natural for her and at 3:09 & 3:44 comforts her by holding her hand, he’s a very sincere & sweet person. Thank you James. ❤️
  • @silverspadelord
    I actually cried when she kept getting anxious, and James kept reassuring her
  • @rkcj101
    james is really kind, even thought he’s doing his job you can def hear the sincerity coming through
  • @simplycara
    I love how genuine James is to Ariana in this interview. He really tries to make her feel comfortable and reassures her how deserving she is in that milestone.
  • @HTJhalloween
    It’s really hard to watch her struggle through this interview because of how painfully relatable it is. Even though she should be so happy that she dropped a record breaking album and is the biggest pop star in the world right now, that’s how anxiety is and it hits you the hardest when you should be at your best. You can tell she was nervous and regretted saying certain things and couldn’t stop thinking about it and it just created this snow ball effect of internal chaos. I just hope she knows that so many people love her and that her music has helped millions get through life. She deserves all the happiness in the world✨
  • @vicentev5120
    she seems very anxious during this interview, it’s so sad to see her like that😭
  • @linab6083
    This is sooo emotional. She almost cried, she talked thaat fast ( she does this everytime when she‘s nervous) and she‘s about to break down n to have an anxiety attack im feelin it. So please, james, go with her to the studio..
  • @emiliaflores663
    her social awkwardness and the 100 times she said “sorry” is soooo relatable...i love u ari
  • @KCNwokoye
    Ariana stop apologizing for being awesome, you're blessed. SHINE SHINE SHINE!
  • @GraceMercado
    Awww this was so sweet of James! To the people who keep saying she wasn’t herself or on drugs. Do y’all realize this was after the Manchester attacks and after Macs passing? She hadn’t been giving interviews and the few she had kept asking her about both things. She was dealing with anxiety from being interviewed and this interview was unplanned. So, cut the girl a break. She was dealing with anxiety, grief, and what knows what else. She’s a human too smh
  • @LuisReyes-ik2gx
    3:54 when she said "thank u so much" it feels like she's nervous and i can feel her anxiety like holy we love u so much ariii
