Ariana Grande continues to show her unwavering support for Manchester, a city forever linked to her through tragedy and resilience.

The "thank u, next" singer has maintained a close relationship with Manchester since the devastating suicide bombing in May 2017, which took place after her "Dangerous Woman Tour" concert.

The horrific attack claimed 22 lives and injured hundreds. Following the tragedy, Grande quickly organized the One Love Manchester charity concert in June 2017, raising significant funds to support the victims and their families.

Over the years, Ariana Grande has consistently honored those affected by the attack through various tributes and acts of kindness.

Recently, on Monday 23 December, the Manchester Foundation Trust Charity announced via Instagram that Grande had made a generous donation to support children across the Manchester hospital network.

"Thank you @arianagrande!" the charity wrote online, adding three glowing star emojis. "We are very grateful to Ariana for thinking of our young patients this Christmas."

The Instagram post featured heartwarming photos of young patients receiving colorful, festively wrapped gifts and staff members handing them out.

"The gifts she donated are being distributed to babies, children and teenagers across Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Trafford General Hospital, Wythenshawe Hospital and North Manchester General Hospital. @mftnhs," they added.

Ariana Grande also made a similarly generous donation to the hospital network back in 2022.

On 22 May 2017, a devastating terrorist attack took place at the Manchester Arena when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb, killing 22 concertgoers and injuring hundreds of others, many of them children and young people. The explosion occurred in the foyer of the arena just moments after Ariana Grande finished her final set, as fans began to exit the venue.

In March 2020, Salman's younger brother, Hashem Abedi, was convicted of 22 counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and conspiracy to cause an explosion. Prosecutors revealed that he helped his brother make the deadly device used in the attack, per CNN.

The Abedi brothers were raised in Manchester by parents who fled Libya under Muammar Gaddafi's regime. Their father, Ramadan Abedi, returned to Libya in 2011 after the fall of Gaddafi's government, and their mother joined him in early 2017.

In April 2017, both Salman and Hashem traveled to Libya to visit family. However, after about three weeks, Salman returned to the UK alone. Just days later, he carried out a horrific attack on the Manchester Arena, leaving a lasting scar on the city and its people.

In the spirit of the holidays, Ariana Grande treated fans to a live performance of her holiday hit "Santa Tell Me" on December 23rd.

"Celebrating ten years of 'Santa Claus tell me'!" Grande shared. "Thank you so much for all the love you've shown this record over the past decade. Happy Holidays to you all!"

As reported Billboard on Monday, December 23rd, the singer's "Santa Tell Me" saw a noticeable increase in performances between December 13th and 19th. The holiday hit has accumulated 27.7 million official streams (up 17% from Sunday), 8.9 million radio listeners (up 3%) and 1,000 sales (up 12%) in the US

The release is part of a special series related to the promotion of her upcoming album "Eternal Sunshine".

The music video for "Santa Tell Me" keeps things light and festive, showing Ariana Grande and her friends having fun in cozy Christmas pajamas. However, this scene was not the original plan.

In a video celebrating the song reaching one billion streams on Spotify, Grande revealed, "We did (the video that was released) at the last minute with no budget just to have something to release," she said. "The original video, I was in weird Christmas underwear and I was hitting Santa with a stick. And that was something I really pushed for."

Grande added, "I was like, 'That's the right vibe for this song. Trust me, I know that.' And the label was, 'Hey, honey, I don't think we can use this.' I'm glad I rocked that time!'"

Earlier this month, the "Wicked" co-stars and the real-life couple Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater were seen getting into the holiday spirit while picking out a Christmas tree in New York City.

The insider said Page Six that "Ariana Grande and her boyfriend, Ethan, (were) buying a Christmas tree from Yianni Karadimas' Christmas tree stand on 62nd (and) Broadway" in Manhattan.

The tall Christmas tree reportedly cost the couple $300. "They're celebrating the success of 'Wicked' and keeping things low-key as they enjoy the holiday season together," the source added.
