She recently chose not to perform on Saturday Night Live due to 'emotional reasons' ostensibly caused by her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller dying of a drug overdose earlier this month.

And on Friday Ariana Grande provided some insight in to her state of mind via a conversation with fans on Twitter according to DailyMail.

The 25-year-old revealed that while she does want to return to touring as soon as possible, she's not quite ready yet.

'In response to one fan, @betteroffnjh, who missed the star but hoped the she was taking care of herself, Ariana was quite frank, answering 'i kno. but i miss u. i'm antsy. can't sit still. i wanna tour now. yesterday i jus wanted to sit home forever but today i wanna do shows and see u. it's all v up n down rn. but hi ily. i am working on it. i'll keep ya posted.'
Another fan, @enemybieber, plead with the star to take her time recovering so she wouldn't regret her decision to return.

'id never regret it,' she responded 'my happiest moments are with y'all and on stage and stuff. i think it's just the looooooong chunks of time away from home that are scary to me rn. hi i'm being too honest and people r gonna tear me apart but idc anymore. lol.'

She did provide a bit of positive feedback as well, speculating on a possible new kind of tour she may embark on soon: 'like maybe i'll do a mini one. i cant do what i did last time right now. that i do know. whatever it is i hope it's okay with you. i just love and miss you. everybody telling me i need to take time but i'm so antsy. idk. ily.'

It seemed things may have been getting back to normal for the singer on Saturday, when she posted several snaps of herself, including an artistic black and white image.

Concern for the pop starlet began on social media when it was announced that she was dropping out of an appearance on the famed Saturday Night Live.

'We had Ariana drop out for emotional reasons two days ago,' Michaels, 73, said on the Origins With James Andrew Miller podcast.

'That's our premiere, and then Kanye [West] stepped up, and he'll be there. So, the reach of the show and the number of people who will step forward is now somehow now, I think, probably at its peak.'

On Thursday Ariana posted a series of anguished tweets seemingly still suffering in the wake of her ex-boyfriend's death.

The distraught 25-year-old pop star began: 'can i pls have one okay day. just one. pls,' then less than a minute latter added: 'i'm so tired pls'.

After a few minutes, she went on: 'i'm so f***ing tired pls,' and added 'jus wake me up when i'm supposed to sing or whatever. peace.'
