By now, you've surely heard about the new Cloud Macchiato drink, by way of Starbucks or Ariana Grande. The drink is delicious, and honestly, it makes perfect sense that Ariana is promoting it (she referred to herself as a Starbucks Ambassador on Twitter)-she's spotted holding Starbucks cups all the time (dating back to at least 2013) and filmed a bit with James Cordon in a Starbucks last year. A girl after our own caffeinated hearts.

Per Starbucks, the collab extends to this new drink and forthcoming store playlists (more on that below), but if I had to bet, I'd say there's more Ari-Starbucks action in the future. With that in mind, I obviously felt the need to conduct a deep dive into Ariana's longstanding love of Starbucks. Here are all the reasons we should have seen this collab coming, including a very telling Instagram from way back in September.
