Ariana grande 7 rings daily mail

You're referring to the controversy surrounding Ariana Grande's song "7 Rings" and its lyrics, which were criticized by some for being perceived as materialistic and focused on wealth.

In January 2019, the Daily Mail published an article titled "Ariana Grande's '7 Rings' lyrics slammed as 'materialistic' and 'self-absorbed' by fans and critics," which sparked a heated debate about the song's message.

The article pointed out that the song's lyrics, which include lines like "You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it" and "I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it," were seen by some as promoting a culture of consumerism and excess.

Grande's fans, known as the "Arianators," defended the song, arguing that it was a celebration of female empowerment and independence, and that the lyrics were meant to be humorous and playful rather than taken literally.

However, not everyone was convinced. Some critics argued that the song's focus on material possessions and wealth was at odds with Grande's previous message of self-acceptance and body positivity.

Grande herself responded to the criticism on social media, saying that she was "tired of people trying to pick apart" her music and that she was "just trying to make music that makes people happy."

Ultimately, the controversy surrounding "7 Rings" did not seem to have a significant impact on the song's popularity. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and stayed on the chart for 8 weeks.
