The "Side By Side" singer has been through a lot in the last year and a half. She
survived a terrorist attack at her concert in Manchester in May 2017, broke up with long-time boyfriend Mac in May 2018, got engaged to Pete in June, released a new album in August, mourned Mac's death in September, and now broke up with Pete. Hopefully she's
taking time to herself to cope with these big changes.
