Despite her absence from Sunday's ceremony, Ariana Grande has won her first Grammy Award. The singer's fourth studio album, "Sweetener," took home the award for best pop vocal album during the Grammys preshow ceremony. Grande responded on Twitter, thanking record label Republic Records, manager Scooter Braun, producer Pharrell, songwriter and friend Victoria Monet and many others she's worked with:The singer also referred to her nonattendance at the Grammys. "I know I맥스카지노�m not there tonight (trust, I tried and still truly wished it had worked out tbh) and I know I said I try not to put too much weight into these things....but .......this is wild and beautiful," she wrote. The award comes on the heels of both the release of her new album, "Thank U, Next," and a social media confrontation between Grande and Grammy Awards producer Ken Ehrlich about the awards show. When asked why Grande wasn't performing at the ceremony, Ehrlich told The Associated Press that Grande "felt it was too late for her to pull something together."Grande responded on Twitter with a screenshot of the article, writing, "I맥스카지노�ve kept my mouth shut but now you맥스카지노�re lying about me," and cited a lack of creative freedom as the actual cause. "I can pull together a performance over night and you know that, Ken. It was when my creativity & self expression was stifled by you, that I decided not to attend. I hope the show is exactly what you want it to be and more." Grande has received six Grammy nominations total, which includes the two she received this year, but this is her first award.
