Frankie could not stop gushing about the 26-year-old pop star and their mother. “These are some strong, empowered women that are here to never back down and to never be quiet because a man told them so. Can you imagine? Oh, my God. Never,” he explained. “That’s who we are. We’re bred that way. It comes all the way from the top — from Nonna and Grandpa, all the way down to me.”

Ariana also emulates strength by being open about her mental health struggles. “Time for some honesty. My depression and anxiety have been at an all-time high lately,” she wrote via her Instagram Story in August while explaining her decision to cancel a meet and greet in Belgium. “I have been giving you all I’ve got and trying to push through as hard as I can and mask it.”

She added: “I wish I had control over these [panic] attacks but as anybody with anxiety or depression understands, sometimes you can only operate on its terms and not your own.”
