SCANDALOUS! ARIANA GRANDE TAKES AIM AT MAGA LOVERS IN RARE POLITICAL STATEMENT

In a bold move that's got everyone talking, global pop sensation Ariana Grande has fired back at supporters of President Donald Trump in a scathing social media post. The 32-year-old songbird - who's been known to use her platform for good, championing LGBTQIA+ rights, Palestinian rights, and reproductive rights - isn't holding back on the divisive topic.

Grande's rare foray into politics came after she Instastoried a post from podcaster Matt Bernstein, which read: "It's been 250 days." That's all Grande needed to unleash a withering attack on Trump's supporters. "Now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all - has your life gotten better?" she asked.

The 32-year-old pop star - who voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 and Bernie Sanders in 2020 - challenged MAGA-loving supporters of President Donald Trump (pictured last Friday) on whether they felt better off eight months into his second term

The follow-up questions were just as pointed: "Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone down? Has your work/life balance improved? Can you take a vacation yet? Are you happier? Has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?" The post was met with a mix of outrage and admiration from Grande's 523.2 million combined social media followers.

This isn't the first time Grande has waded into politics; she famously supported Kamala Harris in 2024 and Bernie Sanders in 2020. But it's clear that this latest statement is more personal, a reflection of her own growing unease with the state of the world under Trump's leadership.

Of course, not everyone is impressed by Grande's newfound activism. Some have accused her of "trying too hard" to be taken seriously as a politician. But those who know Grande understand that she's always been a passionate advocate for social justice - even if it means ruffling a few feathers along the way.

Ariana Instastoried A Bit Fruity podcaster Matt Bernstein's post: 'It's been 250 days. Now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all - has your life gotten better?'

So what's next for this talented and outspoken songbird? Well, fans can catch Grande reprising her role in the long-awaited sequel to Wicked: For Good, which hits theaters on November 21. And rumor has it that she'll be bringing some serious drama to the big screen - including a love interest played by none other than her real-life beau, Ethan Slater.

But before we get too caught up in Grande's movie magic, let's talk about the juicy details of her personal life. It turns out that Grande and Slater got together on the London set of Wicked sometime between December 2022 and July 2023 - despite Slater still being married to his high school sweetheart Lilly Jay at the time.

As The Cut reported last December, Slater's marriage was already on shaky ground when he met Grande on the set of Wicked. "I confidently moved to another country with my two-month-old baby and my husband to support his career," Slater's ex-wife wrote in a scathing essay. "Consumed by the magic and mundanity of new motherhood, I didn't understand the growing distance between us."

The post continued: 'Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone down? Has your work/life balance improved? Can you take a vacation yet?' (Trump pictured last Friday)

And it seems that Grande was equally blindsided by the fallout from their scandalous romance. The two-time Grammy winner finalized her own divorce from real estate agent Dalton Gomez just last October - 21 months after they tied the knot.

Grande's personal life may be a mess, but one thing is clear: this fearless pop star isn't afraid to speak truth to power and fight for what she believes in. So who knows? Maybe we'll see Grande running for office someday soon...

The Florida-born former child star's post came three months after she Instastoried Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's tweet calling for the 79-year-old Republican politician's third impeachment for his 'disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization' (posted June 21)

Ariana has also been known to publicly support LGBTQIA+ rights, Palestinian rights, reproductive rights, and voter registration (pictured September 7)

The Oscar-nominated actress will next reprise her role as the Good Witch of the South Galinda Upland opposite Cynthia Erivo's Wicked Witch of the West Elphaba Thropp in Jon M. Chu's $150M-budget sequel Wicked: For Good, which hits US/UK theaters on November 21
