After a series of traumatic events in her personal life, Ariana Grande defied expectations and conventions for a pop star of her caliber and released two studio albums within a 6-month time span. And that’s an impressive feat in and of itself, but it’s made even better by the fact that I believe they are her two best albums to date. Sweetener and Thank U, Next are pretty much tied for my favorite, and I think it’s their emotional vulnerability and musical ingenuity that makes them both so great.
