Manchester City council leader, Richard Leese, proposed the honor following Grande’s response following the deadly terrorist attack at her Manchester concert in May.
Leese told reporters Grande brought “comfort and raised millions” for an emergency fund following her One Love Manchester benefit concert in June, which saw musicians such as Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Liam Gallagher take to the stage to raise money for victims of the terrorist attack.
