Okay, so let's kick things off by saying Ariana Grande and The Weeknd have never officially confirmed they dated and have always maintained they're nothing but good friends, but they have collaborated in the studio a whopping three times. It's with those constant musical team ups that dating rumors began to surface between the two, as fans have long speculated things may have gone beyond the platonic.
Fans of both stars have repeatedly analyzed song lyrics for clues, including @arianarailme who shared a thread in 2020 claiming The Weeknd's "The Hills" may have been about a possible secret romance while she was dating Big Sean. They also speculated that Grande is seemingly apologizing for messing up a romance in her big hit "One Last Time," which it's been suggested could be about The Weeknd. Another Twitter user, @loonaticgrande, shared a viral thread on Twitter decoding lyrics in 2017, doubling down on the speculation "The Hills" is about Grande while also pointing out a particularly poignant scene in the music video that may have hinted at a minor incident Grande had while dating Big Sean.
But that's not even the most cryptic lyric decoding fans have done.
