'Love Me Harder' songstress Ariana Grande has revealed that she's trying to ignore the rumours and stories made up about her in the press because spending energy on those kinds of things wastes time. 

Speaking to Britain's Now magazine, the beauty explained that she is trying to focus on the great things in her life because it's so easy to let the negativity win:

"I've sort of decided that it's my life and I get to decide what gets my attention. There's so much love and so many beautiful things happening right now. I feel like if I'm not celebrating that every second, I'm wasting my time and taking it for granted. I'd much rather focus on the positives than be concerned with stuff like that."

Earlier this month, the superstar sent a message of empowerment and self-love to her devoted fans and said: "You really have to be nice to yourself. People aren’t nice to themselves anymore. I feel like you have to be so extra nice to your heart and your mind these days. There are so many people telling you that you’re not good enough, but you are good enough. You’re more than good enough.”
