Ariana Grande made a heartwarming surprise visit to a young girl injured in the tragic Manchester Arena attack. The singer returned to Manchester just days after the incident to uplift the spirits of her young fans recuperating at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
One of the young girls, 10-year-old Ella Thompson, took to Twitter to share her excitement, posting, “I met my idol today, love you Ariana!” Ella, who hails from Oldham, suffered severe injuries, including fractures in both legs and shrapnel wounds, and has undergone multiple surgeries.
Ella’s mother recounted the surprise, saying, “Ella was just watching TV when Ariana walked in. She was completely shocked!” Grande didn’t stop there; she also visited other children in the hospital, bringing gifts such as flowers, teddy bears, and signed T-shirts, spreading joy even as the children were getting ready for bed.
Another parent, Sarah Miller, shared how her daughter Sophie was overjoyed by the visit. “Sophie’s face lit up when Ariana walked in. She took the time to sit with her and said, ‘I’m so proud of you. You are so strong.’” Sophie is currently healing from a shrapnel injury to her back.
On May 22, a suicide bomber attacked the Manchester Arena following Grande’s concert, resulting in 22 deaths and numerous injuries, many of which were serious. Grande’s return aimed not only to provide comfort but also to raise funds for the victims. After canceling her upcoming shows, she organized a benefit concert featuring stars like Justin Bieber, Coldplay, and Katy Perry, with all proceeds going toward the “We Love Manchester Emergency Fund,” in collaboration with the British Red Cross.
In a heartfelt message to her fans, Grande expressed her desire to support them through these dark times. “We must respond to this violence by coming together and uplifting one another,” she wrote. “Music is a universal language meant to heal, and we will continue to honor those we lost by spreading love and kindness.”
