Pete Davidson wishes the best to Ariana Grande on SNL while she publishes her song thanking him

While "Saturday Night Live" was coming back from a brief break, pop culture fans were asking themselves a question: would the show deal directly with the public breakup between Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande?

The flash romance of the pair, after all, was one of the hottest stories of the summer for anyone wishing to get away from politics. Fans were obsessed with following every detail of their yard, from their tattoos to the song she'd written about her to the baby pig they'd adopted. Naturally, when they canceled their engagement, these same fans continued to watch every detail.

But there remains one question: will SNL tackle the dissolution? After all, the first of this season was quite obsessed with the couple. Davidson appeared in the "Weekend Update" segment and described the relationship with Colin Jost and Michael Che, co-hosts: "Do you remember the time when this city claimed that this kid was Batman because" he was sick? That's what it gives.

In addition, the specials of Saturday's episode seemed to indicate the speed with which Davidson and Grande became engaged. In the short advertisement, Davidson addresses the musical guest Maggie Rogers and says, "Hey Maggie, I'm Pete. Do you want to marry?

The show may have disappointed those who are hungry for celebrity gossip.

Davidson appeared in "Weekend Update" to give his impressions on various politicians in the running. The first reference to Grande was an oblique reference. Davidson said he's been paying more attention to politics since he "moved with my mom". Big and he had moved in together in a $ 16 million apartment.

Throughout the segment, he made jokes about the appearances of various politicians – for example saying that the representative Peter T. King (RN.Y.) looked like "if a cigar was animating" – and that he had not mentioned Grande until the end of his appearance. But instead of making jokes, he simply wished the best to his ex.

"The last thing I would say is that I know some of you are curious about breaking up, but the truth is that it does not matter," he said, adding, "Sometimes things do not work, and that's good, he's a great and strong person, and I sincerely wish him all the happiness of the world. "

The fact that the series did not do more with the separation was somewhat surprising, of course, but the real surprise was that Grande had dropped a new song just minutes before the start of SNL – and she mentions Davidson by name .

The song is titled "Thank You, Next" and Grande thanks her ex., Throughout her story, saying what they taught her or what they meant to her. About Davidson, she sings, "Even almost married / And for Pete, I'm so grateful." She also mentions her ex Mac Miller, a rapper who died earlier this year at age 26, with the following lines: "J & # I would like to say thanks to Malcolm / Because he was an angel. "

Later in the song, she sings "I've been taught love / I've been taught patience / And I've been taught the pain / Now I'm so amazing." It's hard to know to whom each line refers.

If we can remember from Saturday is that the story of Davidson / Great could finally be played. Both seem to be amicable, and – with these two statements in the world – go ahead. Looks like they are telling the rest of the world to join them.
