The pop star’s cameo with Fallon comes three days after she tweeted thatshe was “downstairs”if ex Davidson needed her followinghis alarming Instagram postwhich stated: “I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore. I’m doing my best to stay here for you but I actually don’t know how much longer I can last. All I’ve ever tried to do was help people. just remember I told you so.”
PEOPLE confirmed that Grande did, in fact, head her ex-fiancé’s way at 30 Rock — but has yet to make contact. “Ariana and Pete haven’t really been in contact since the split, but this doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about him,” a Grande source recently told PEOPLE. “She was frantic after she saw his Instagram message. She feels terrible that he isn’t feeling well.”
The Grammy-nominated star also tweeted at Davidson, writing, “I’m downstairs and I’m not going anywhere if you need anyone or anything. I know u have everyone u need and that’s not me, but I’m here too.”

However, Grande’s outreach was for naught. “Pete didn’t want to see Ariana. As of Sunday, Ariana had not been able to reach Pete. He is ignoring her,” said the Grande source, who added that the singer’s concern for Davidson’s well-being is partly rooted in her grief over ex-boyfriendMac Miller, whodied at age 26 in Septemberof anaccidental overdoseof fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.
