True story: I kept seeing the headline “Ariana Grande is ‘repulsed’ by Santa” and I thought to myself, “That’s probably because she’s literally the most sardonic person in the world.” And guess what? She literally uses the word “sardonic” as an explanation for why she’s repulsed by Santa. For real. Literally. Ariana loves the word “sardonic.” It’s the word she learned in 2014. Anyway, Ariana has a Christmas song called “Santa Tell Me” – you can see the video here. Like with most of Ariana’s songs, the lyrics are muddled because chica cannot enunciate to save her life. Maybe that should be her 2015 word: “enunciate.” To hear Ariana tell it, her silly Christmas song is not a happy, light Christmas pop song though. No, it is dark, grim and (YES) sardonic.
Ariana Grande revealed she is “repulsed” by Santa Claus. The “Santa Tell Me” singer opened up about her hit holiday song on Friday and explained that the Christmas tune, in which she asks Santa for help with her love life, is actually “depressing.”
Grande noted that she isn’t a fan of old St. Nick because of all the past heartbreak and relationship angst she associates with the holidays. “I’m repulsed by Santa,” she told the Daily Star. “My song may sound cheerful but its really quite sardonic and depressing. I’m like saying, ‘Santa what is your deal bro?’”
The pop star continued, “I’ve had my heart broken multiple times around this time of year. I feel although it’s one of the most cheerful times of the year, I see tons of heartbreak and they make movies about it. It’s like a (Wham!) Last Christmas vibe.”
She’s trying too hard to sound like this deep, affected artist. Girl, you’re a straight-up pop artist! Your music has no “edge.” Your music is not deep. And that’s why you’re a pop star. As for being “repulsed” by Santa… eh. Whatever.

I’m sure the feeling is mutual.
Who on earth cares an iota about anything that this vile, silly & pointless little piece of non-talent thinks???
Nice one Greata! I know very little about her, what I do know suggests she’s a beeyatch
I still laugh every time I head “Break Free” because I hear “Bweak Fwee” and it kills me. Woman/lady/gurl/person cannot sing.
I read this comment elsewhere and she just sounds like a stupid kid trying to sound grown up. I love how she peppers her comments with “like”!
If someone plopped a blonde wig on this girl she would look and dress just like Judy Jetson.
Bet she got nothing from Santa because Santa thinks she’s a baby-diva-douche.
how can the human equivalent of Minnie Mouse be repulsed by Santa? And sardonic?? Um. Even Lorde doesn’t use that word. Still, and always, there is something about Barbie Sinister that makes me cross myself when I see her left sided-face.
Dull anecdote of the day — I remember being really excited about having a Thesaurus on my computer whilst I was at school, so I started dropping in various synonyms like ‘sardonic’ into my essays at every opportunity. I was very pleased with my faux intellectualism.
In my defence, I was 13 at the time and the quality of my fan-fiction skyrocketed once I listened to Mark Twain – ‘As to the adjective: when in doubt, strike it out.’
Might have had a bit too much Brandy this week *hiq*
Happy Holidays, everyone!
Anyway. Buzz off, Ariana.
someone should tell her that santa isn’t real.
Maybe next year Rudolph and the other reindeer can all leave a big pile of poop wrapped with a bow under Ariana’ s Christmas tree. It would go well with all the bs that comes out of her mouth
I don’t have much to say about her. I’m kind of over all these new singers.
But that is a great looking Santa
That coat is the most I’ve ever seen her covered. She went full tart for the Disney Christmas.
Welcome to life, little girl. Maybe use your depressing holiday memories to connect with your fans on a deeper level. Play the game a little bit, you twit.
I am literally repulsed by Ariana Grande because she’s an idiot.
Does she really know what sardonic means or she uses the word just because…?
She probably thinks it means
“To carry an odor of or have the properties of Sardines”.
Santa smells ya’ll.
Considering Ariana needs to be carried around like a small child in the arms of her staffers, she probably isn’t as intellectually developed as other young adults.
Santa, get away from the goth Bratz doll!
Yo, Marble Mouth… start consulting a dictionary and enunciating your words more. Make it your New Year’s resolution. You’ll sound more like you’re all growed up like a big girl.
Sheesh. I just can’t with this one.
How did she feel about him when he was bringing her presents?
I saw this kid on Michael Bublé’s holiday special. The first thing my husband said when he walked in the room was “Where’s her pants?” She was on a raised stage, bending over at the waist in a tiny skirt (maybe it was a skort?) thingy. We couldn’t understand a word she sang, she looked like she was NOT enjoying herself, and she kept doing that annoying Christina Aguilera microphone finger tap thing that all young female pop singers seem to have latched onto to look like Xtina. She also almost compulsively chopped all her phrasing too short to add ridiculous, repetitive runs all over the place, which made a damn mess out of whatever song she was singing. It was…kinda bizarre.
Wow, I sound like a grouchy old fart. LoL I’m only 35, but these young, half nekked, talentless, but massively egotistical pop ‘singers’ (I use the term loosely) make me stabby. I am DREADING when my little girls get to the age where they start wanting to look up to and listen to airheads like this.
OMG, I never thought I’d find someone else who is as annoyed by the microphone finger tap thing! And once I notice it, I can’t un-notice it, then I get more annoyed by it. I told a voice teacher I know about it, and he just laughed and said he’s waaaaaay more annoyed by her phrasing and runs (he used another word for runs that I can’t remember now–the technical term). He said it’s for people who can’t really sing. If you can’t hold one note, just sing them all! That cracked me up.
I accidentally watched her perform on SNL and didn’t know who she was, but I was also annoyed by the fact that she never once opened her eyes during the slower song she sang that night. I kept wondering if she was a blind performer. But then when the song ended, she opened her eyes and gave this really smug smile.
Now I’m only going to see the microphone finger tap 🙂
That technical term for “runs” — was it “melisma” ?
@Scarlet Vixen
Your story made me laugh.
And don’t give up hope, I have 8 and 16 year old daughters and neither looks up to or wants to look like this twit. 🙂
Don’t feel bad. My 10 y.o. and her friends went to see her at Rockefeller Ctr and said she was disappointing. Barely sang more than 4 songs, clearly lip syncing, and the dancers put more effort forth than she did. Ariana reminds me of Avril Lavigne with all the whining and posing and “I’m so deep” crap, but maybe it’s more Miley, who only wanted to show that Disney repressed her and her true “punk” self was coming out. As. IF.
Oh gosh, just watched it. Horrible, poor Bublé looking at her like what?
Can’t with this little girl.
#TeamMariah
Oh brother. Plenty of people don’t like the Holidays. Come back with something original. And if you don’t like Christmas or Santa why the heck are you singing about it? UGH! I really don’t get this girl at all.
Why on earth is this ridiculous, snobby, try hard, pony tail wearing, fearing one side of her dimply face, annoying on every level, obvious mean girl, silly outfit sporting, twitty twatty, little rooster dissing my fat bearded homie Santa? She probably doesn’t even leave the man cookies. *shaking my damn head so hard that my cute little neck is getting all sore* Now I feel like a mean girl but I guess that’s beside the point. SANTA AND BEER FOR LIFE!
Don’t worry, Santa keeps notes and he’ll be giving her some coal in her stocking. Hopefully he’ll slide a dictionary and thesaurus in there too since she has no idea what sardonic means.
Lol The headline makes it sound like she is saying Santa is a ‘she’.
