Ariana Grande just won her second moon person at the VMAs – her first at the 2018 ceremony – for Best Pop for “No Tears Left to Cry.” After receiving the trophy from presenters Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, Ariana listed all the folks who made it happen, from her fans to her “friends on the internet” to her manager Scooter Braun. And last but definitely not least, Ariana thanked fiancé Pete Davidson, who was chewing gum beside Scooter down below. “Pete Davidson. Thanks for existing,” Ariana told her future huz. “Love you.”

Ari and Pete made their red carpet debut earlier and were not shy about their PDA.

First of all, to my fans I love you guys so much... My friends on the internet, I love you, you’re the funniest most supportive people, I love you so much, thank you for all your dedication and for showing me so much love. And Sweetener... thank you for receiving it so warmly.
