Singer Ariana Grande says this year has been one of the best of her career and the worst in her life. The No Tears Left to Cry singer, 25, was honoured at Thursday night's Billboard's Women in Music event, where she was presented with the prestigious Woman of the Year award, reports people.com.

During her acceptance speech, Grande struggled to hold back tears as she touched upon her very tumultuous year, which included the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller and her failed whirlwind romance with Pete Davidson. "I want to say that I find it interesting that this has been one of the best years of my career and the worst of my life," she said.
