'We played the game, everybody left, and then it was just me and her. I literally was like, 'Hi, can I kiss you please?'' he told Stern. 'I'm so stupid and unaware of how chemistry and all that stuff works. Davidson said he and Grande played a Mad Libs-type game called Quiplash with 10 other people for about two hours before he made his move.

I was like, 'Hey, I should leave, right? She hates me, right?' And he was like, 'No, I think you should stay,'' he joked.

'I had to ask her friend if it was OK if I stayed. He said he wore sweatpants and a T-shirt, while Grande was 'coming from the Met ,' so she was still dressed in her Sistine Chapel gown. 'I thought that he was just full of s-.'ĭavidson revealed that he went to Grande's apartment that night to hang out with mutual friends - insisting to Stern that it was not a date - and had zero expectations. 'Scooter told me she was somewhat interested in me,' he told Howard Stern during a September interview. 'I said, 'Tell him I said hi,' and he texted me, 'Yo, it's Pete,' and we were inseparable,' Grande said.ĭavidson also credited Braun with initiating their contact. Grande told Ebro Darden during an August interview on Beats 1, that she 'reconnected' with Davidson when she was in New York doing album promo, and her manager, Scooter Braun, was going to visit Davidson backstage at 'SNL.'
