Ariana Grande's Nonna Went to Her Tour, Kinda Wasn't That Into It?

There's now video footage of the singer's gam-gam looking deeply tired while watching her granddaughter perform.

If I were to guess, I would say that Ariana Grande deeply loves two things: ponytails, and her Nonna, who she brought to the AMAs as her date late last year, and who showed up to the damn Women's March on Washington in sunglasses and a fur. Hell, I even think I love Ariana Grande's Nonna.  But it appears that Nonna (real name Marjorie, fyi) was not too pleased with her granddaughter at a recent tour stop in Las Vegas on Saturday, where she naturally posted up front row like divas do. For most of the show, where she was sat next to Ariana's brother Frankie, she sat with her chin in her hand in the universal pose for boredom (iconic, sorry) but when the set rolled around to Dangerous Woman cut "Bad Decisions" which has some "risqué" lyrics (read: swearing), her attention was piqued. As Ariana sang: "Don't you know I ain't fuckin' with them good boys," Marjorie looked kind of horrified and raised her hand to her mouth in shock. At this point I am actually kind of mad at Ariana for upsetting her Nonna with her cursing, and though we've previously seen photos of the moment, the Daily Mail (fresh off being banned as a reliable source by Wikipedia's editors) has now procured video footage – so you can see her disdain in all its glory, around the 1:54 mark:

Something tells me that Ariana will be getting a severe talking to from Nonna. To be honest, Marjorie seems so cool that I kind of want one too. Drag me Nonna!! Follow Lauren on Twitter (Image via YouTube)
