Ariana Grande explained why she changed the album cover for the 10th anniversary edition of her debut record, Yours Truly, during a Q&A session that was shared on her TikTok account on Monday.

The 30-year-old performer stated that constant ‘bullying’ from her fans over the perceived unattractiveness of the cover was the main reason for the change.

The hitmaker, whose estranged husband was recently spotted without his wedding ring, also expressed that she had been greatly affected by the negative commentary regarding the image over the years.

Grande began by, when asked why the cover art had been changed, stating that many of her fans had a hostile reaction to the original image.

The 7 Rings singer described the cover as ‘horrible – it’s not horrible, (but) you were right. You were very angry when you saw it.’

The performer added that she was ‘very sad about’ the initial reaction to Yours Truly’s cover art.

Grande then hit out at the individuals who had been harassing her over the course of the last decade regarding the album’s cover.

‘You were right, but you’re not always right. Your bullying has been consistent for the past ten years, so there’s that,’ she said.

She also recalled: ‘You hated it, you were like “This is f***ing ugly Mom, change it,” so I did.’

The songwriter then alluded to the lasting negative impression that had been made on her following Yours Truly’s release.

‘Sometimes it works, sometimes it leaves me with wounds that make me question everything I’ve done since,’ she said.

Grande concluded by half-jokingly adding, ‘just kidding,’ before moving on with the Q&A session.

Yours Truly, which served as the singer’s debut album, was initially released on August 30, 2013.
