Ariana Grandehas never been shy about letting her loved ones know how important they are to her.
While each room of the exhibit is dedicated to a different song on Grande’s latest album, the space dedicated to the interlude named for her fiancé and “soulmate”Pete Davidsonmight be the sweetest of them all.
In that room, fans are invited to create their own love locks, an affectionate term describing a lock with the names or initials of two people in love written on it.
The “God Is a Woman” singer went on to create three love locks of her own: one for theSaturday Night Livestar, one for herdog Toulouseand one with the initials of four members of her family: her mother, brother and grandparents.

“Grab a love lock and inscribe your name alongside the name of someone who’s special to you — your boyfriend or girlfriend, your best friend, your sister, your dog, or even the guy who delivers your favorite pizza,” the sign reads. “Affix your personalized padlock to the fence and seal your bond forever.”
Next, Grande writes the name of her puppy alongside a big heart on one lock, while finding space on a heart-shaped lock for the initials of her mother, Joan Grande, her brother,Frankie Grande, her grandmother, Marjorie Grande (better known to fans as Nonna), and her late grandfather, Frank Grande.
The singer went on to share a shot of all three locks on the fence, which fans will be able to see for themselves at the pop-up.
