In September she announced that she was going to take "much needed time to heal and mend" because of the "events of the past couple of years." At the beginning of this month, her ex-boyfriend rapper MC Miller allegedly died from an overdose, and the following week she backed out from the Emmy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles, which she was to attend with her fiancé, comedian Pete Davidson.

She has also been battling with the psychological aftermath of the suicide bomb attack that was launched outside the Arena during her concert in Manchester in 2017, as she told the Vogue earlier this year.
That attack left 22 people dead and dozens more injured. UK police identified 22-year-old Salman Abedi as the individual they suspect of having perpetrated the attack.
