In the wake of Monday's terrorist attack, Ariana Grande has suspended her "Dangerous Woman" tour at least through June 5th. On Tuesday, a somber Grande was photographed being greeted at the airport by her boyfriend, Mac Miller, as she arrived in Florida.
"We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence," said a statement from Grande's team obtained by ABC. "Our way of life has once again been threatened, but we will overcome this together. Thank you."
In the coming days, Grande and her associates will "further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost."
