Ariana Grande shared in a since-deleted statement Sunday night that she’s “still processing a lot” after videos of the singer appearing to cry while performing her song “R.E.M.” on tour left many fans concerned.

“I feel everything very intensely and have committed to doing this tour during a time in my life when I’m still processing a lot… so sometimes I cry a lot!” Grande said in her statement.

“I thank you for accepting my humanness. I’m not sure what I did to meet so many loving every night / to feel so much love, but I want you to know it really does carry me through,” the singer wrote.

She concluded the message by saying she’s “grateful” for the support.

“I want you to know that if you too are hurting, you can push through and are not alone,” Grande wrote to her fans.

Video of the singer appearing to break down while performing “R.E.M.” during a “Sweetener” tour stop in St. Louis was widely circulated on social media Sunday, leaving many fans worried about Grande’s mental health.

But Grande’s fans were quick to uplift the singer after she released her statement on Sunday night.

Grande has previously been very open about her struggles with her mental health, especially while touring.

The singer shared on Twitter earlier this year that singing emotionally vulnerable songs (some of which touch on on her breakup with Pete Davidson, the death of her ex Mac Miller in 2018, and her experience after a suicide bomber killed 22 people at her concert in Manchester in 2017) is “like reliving it all over again.” Grande has been even known to change her set lists for shows due to the emotional content of her songs.

The “Thank U, Next” singer is currently touring in support of her two albums — “Sweetener” and “Thank U Next”— that were both released in the past year.
