Thank U, Nathan?
EntertainmentNathan Sykes, one-fifth of the English boy band one-hit wonders The Wanted (“Glad You Came,” you remember it), dated Ariana Grande for five months in 2013. They even recorded a song together, “Almost Is Never Enough,” on her debut album, Yours Truly. It’s about a breakup, foreshadowing an extremely brief relationship between two 20-year-olds we all immediately forgot about.
TMZ always remembers, however, and they found Sykes at LAX airport (who is apparently a solo artist now?) and asked him if he felt left out of Ari’s perfect breakup banger, “thank u, next.” As you recall, it name checks her most recent ex-boyfriends from oldest to most recent: Big Sean (2014), Ricky Alvarez (2015), Mac Miller (2016 – 2018) and Pete “BDE” Davidson (2018). Nathan is nowhere to be found.
