Ariana Grande’s week has gotten even sweeter.
Only days after the release of her fourth album Sweetener, Grande took to the VMA stage to accept the award for Best Pop Video for Sweetener’s lead single “No Tears Left to Cry.”
Grande was a fixture of the camera early in the night as she sat next to her fiance, Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson. She shouted out her fans and Davidson while accepting the moon person during the telecast.
“Pete Davidson, thanks for existing,” Grande said at the end of her speech.

The Video Music Awards was the couple’s first public outing together, as pointed out by People. Their relationship has been a viral sensation, even leading to the online discussion around “big dick energy.”
Grande was also seen helping friend Minaj make her way to the stage as she accepted the award for “Best Hip Hop Video,” the first category of the night. Minaj won for “Chun Li.”
