Dave Meyers/Republic RecordsAriana Grande has finally acknowledged that she’s going through a difficult time right now, and is taking a break from social media.

Tuesday, Ariana taped NBC’s A Very Wicked Halloween Special, celebrating the 15th anniversary of her favorite musical, Wicked. In an Instagram Story post captured by People magazine, she wrote, “Ok today was v special and i’m so grateful i was able to be there. Time to say bye bye again to the internet for just a lil bit.”

She then continued, “It’s hard not to bump news n stuff that I’m not trying to see [right now]. It’s very sad and we’re all tryin very hard to keep going. love u. and thank u for bein here always.”

Ariana and fiancé Pete Davidson reportedly called off their engagement over the weekend.

At the A Very Wicked Halloween Special taping, Ariana performed the song “The Wizard and I,” and posted a photo of herself with Idina Menzel, who originated the role of Elphaba the witch in Wicked on Broadway.  “If y’all told me ab any of this fifteen years ago…” Ariana captioned the picture.  The Wicked special airs on October 29.

Additionally, TMZ reports that while Ariana was performing, she very purposely wore a small adhesive bandage strip on her ring finger to cover up a tiny tattoo that reads “pete.”  Of course, she was no longer wearing her engagement ring, either.

Meanwhile, according to Entertainment Tonight, Pete Davidson pulled out of a comedy gig at Temple University Wednesday for “personal reasons.”

News of Ariana and Pete’s split broke on Sunday.
