Ariana Grande Helping Nicki Minaj at the VMAs Just Melted Our Hearts

From Harper's BAZAAR

Ariana Grande fans may be gushing over her first red carpet appearance with Pete Davidson at the VMAs tonight, but the pop princess also had some adorable moments with her friend, Nicki Minaj. When the rapper won the Best Hip Hop award for her "Chun Li," video, Grande made sure to help her take the stage, like a true pal.

As Nicki made her way up the stairs, Ariana, who sat in the front row, held up the train of her sheer Off-White dress so she wouldn't fall.

Minaj also gave a shoutout to her fellow star during her acceptance speech. While thanking the artists who contributed to her album, Queen, the rapper mentioned Grande, whom she collaborated with for her song, "Bed."

"Ariana Grande, my baby," Minaj called out to her from the stage. "I'm so proud of you. I'm so freaking proud of you, Ariana." Grande responded by mouthing "I love you" from the audience.

The lovefest didn't end there. Soon after, it was Ariana's turn to take the stage. When she won the award for Best Pop, Grande gave Minaj a hug before running up to claim her award.

The pair also worked together on "The Light Is Coming," a track on Ariana's new album, Sweetener, which just released last week. The song is the latest installment in a string of collaborations between the two artists. There was "Side to Side" in 2016, "Bang Bang" with Jessie J in 2014, and "Get on Your Knees" in the same year.

We can't get enough of this musical friendship.
