Ariana Grande recently reflected on her highly publicized, short-lived relationship with Pete Davidson in a cover story for Vogue.
The pop star revealed that after she split from her longtime boyfriend, the late rapper Mac Miller, in April 2018, her friends convinced her to escape Los Angeles and regroup in New York City, where she met the “Saturday Night Live” actor.
“My friends were like, ‘Come! We’re gonna have a fun summer,'” she told the magazine. “And then I met Pete, and it was an amazing distraction. It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and I didn’t know him.”
"I'm like an infant when it comes to real life and this old soul, been-around-the-block-a-million-times artist," Grande continued. "I still don't trust myself with the life stuff."

Grande and Davidson began dating in May 2018, shortly after both stars had ended long-term relationships. They got engaged almost immediately after, but broke it off less than five months later.
Grande went on to record her No. 1 album "Thank U, Next," which includes plenty of references to both Davidson and Miller, who died from an accidental drug overdose in September.

Notably, Grande's comment that she "didn't know" Davidson aligns with her song "In My Head," which describes a relationship founded on imagination - and which many fans speculate is about Davidson. A new visual for "In My Head" was released conjointly with Grande's Vogue interview.

Earlier in the interview, Grande described herself as "incredibly impulsive and passionate and emotional and just reckless."
Representatives for Davidson didn't immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment.
