        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>She&#8217;s blowing kisses through the airwaves.</p><p>Unable to perform live, pop stars including Ariana Grande are finding creative ways to entertain their fans in <strong>coronavirus</strong> quarantine.</p><p>&#8220;Tommy [and] I sending u some virtual love,&#8221; pint-size pop star Ariana Grande captions <strong>a video</strong> of one such digital performance with her record producer Tommy Brown, 33. &#8220;Hope you&#8217;re all staying safe, sane, healthy and as creative as possible.&#8221;</p><p>The singer, 26, then sings the title track off her 2014 album &#8220;My Everything.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve cried enough tears to see my own reflection in them,&#8221; she croons while Brown accompanies her on piano from a separate space, social distancing even on the screen itself. Brown has worked with Grande on all five of her albums, and has scored a number of her hits.</p><p>The video has racked up over 185,000 likes on <a href="https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1246889921488384000" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and more than 2.7 million views on Instagram since being posted Sunday night.</p><div class="embed-wrapper twitter"><div class="embed-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">tommy n i sending u some virtual love 🤍💻🎙 hope you’re all staying safe, sane, healthy and as creative as possible <strong>pic.twitter.com/kRTTAgRihZ</strong></p><p>&mdash; Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) <a href="https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/1246889921488384000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 5, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div></div><p>The &#8220;thank u, next,&#8221; singer has been staying in the headlines while staying indoors during quarantine, <strong>sharing photos</strong> of how her natural curly hair has grown since she began social distancing due to the pandemic, <strong>responding</strong> to a hand-washing video mocking her long sleeves, <strong>sending money</strong> to fans hit by the coronavirus-related shutdowns, <strong>reuniting</strong> with her &#8220;Victorious,&#8221; co-stars and quarantining with her new boyfriend, real-estate agent <strong>Dalton Gomez</strong>.</p><p>The show has been going on for a number of other performers as well — albeit, over video chat and other virtual methods. Elton John, for instance, hosted a coronavirus benefit concert with <strong>remote performances</strong>, <strong>Patrick Stewart</strong> proved that actors remain essential in the shutdown and Bruce Springsteen, Diplo, Charli XCX, Erykah Badu, Rufus Wainwright and Ben Gibbard have all utilized technology to <strong>livestream music</strong> in place of performing it live. The virtual entertainment is proving such a success, it may become a <strong>business model</strong> after the pandemic passes.</p><figure id="attachment_15435910"  class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/ariana-grande-live-43.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/04/ariana-grande-live-43.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/ariana-grande-live-43.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Ariana Grande attends the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards at Staples Center on January 26, 2020 in Los Angeles.</span><span class="credit">Patrick McMullan via Getty Image</span></figcaption></figure>]]></content:encoded>
