Ariana got choked up on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in November when she sang the "Thank U, Next" lyrics about her dad. Despite the family drama Ariana sung about in her hit single, she appeared to be in good spirits during their FaceTime call.
Her dad and her mom, Joan Grande, got divorced when the singer was 8 years old. In 2014, she told Seventeen that she had a falling out with her father in 2013.
