“It is a season wrap for team ariana!” she wrote. “I AM BURSTING with pride for jim and sasha and all of everyone from #teamariana … to have met and worked with such brilliant artists is the greatest gift and honor of all of this. I can’t believe there wasn’t a time I didn’t know you all.”
Ariana continued, “It’s truly just the beginning for all of these brilliant humans. i’ll be here always. thank you for enriching my life in ways I can’t even attempt to articulate. your presence and this whole experience has brought so much joy and fulfillment creatively and personally.”

Now that the season is over for Ariana, she will have to content herself with cheering on her former team member, Hailey Mia.
Ariana made a bunch of rookie mistakes as a first time coach. She seemed to choose team members based on who and what she liked, with little strategy involved. If she returns to the panel next fall, there has to be less crying and more strategizing. Yes Ariana, you may have to cut an act like Jim and Sasha Allen sooner rather than later, no matter how much you like them and relate to them on a personal level. Ask the canny players Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson. They’ll tell you…
