Ariana returned to Manchester 2 weeks later for One Love benefit concert (raised $13M+). Performed with Miley, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, 50,000 attended. Ariana later addressed PTSD, anxiety. Bomber Salman Abedi, ISIS-inspired. Attack led to increased venue security globally. Ariana’s “thank u, next” addressed trauma obliquely.
