Scooter Braun, Grande’s manager, wrote a series of tweets telling his 4.1 million followers not let terrorism win after a suicide bombing killed 22 people, including young children, and injured dozens Monday.

“Tonight I got home and took my parents out to dinner. Korean bbq. We drank and ate and laughed with the tables next to us. I experienced joy,” Braun, a longtime celebrity manager, tweeted. “I experienced joy for the first time in days. And I remembered…we r free. We are all different but we r free to enjoy eachother’s company.”

He went on to say that the attacks have prompted him to think about the value of life, and encouraged his followers to do the same.

“The wish of terrorism is to take away that feeling of freedom and joy,” he wrote. “No. That is my answer. No. We cant allow it. Fear cannot rule the day.”
