Ariana Grande has shared a sobering message to Donald Trump supporters in a new political statement.
The 32-year-old '7 Rings' singer has been very outspoken when it comes to politics in the past, after openly standing up for the trans community and revealing she voted for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in last year's presidential election.
Additionally, she's also posted about deportation in the past, too, after resharing a post with the message: "Could someone explain which crimes get you deported and which ones get you elected President? It’s so confusing."
The post sparked heated discussions about the glaring disparities between how undocumented immigrants are treated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) versus how high-profile figures like Trump - the first convicted felon to assume the US presidency - continue to operate freely despite mounting legal troubles.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday (28 September), the Wicked star reshared a post by social media creator, Matt Bernstein, to her story, which read: "I want to check in with trump voters. I have one very genuine question: 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?"
The statement 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? 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 in question, at the time of writing, has received over 191k likes and more than three thousand comments.
The 79-year-old made a series of false claims during his United Nations address last week (23 September), claiming that energy prices, gasoline prices and grocery prices were all down in the US, and that inflation had 'been defeated'.
Trump continues to make such statements despite the fact that electricity prices have soared in America.
Additionally, inflation was up in August, and even Fox News viewers think he’s failing on the economy.
A recent Fox News poll reportedly saw 52% of respondents stating that the Trump administration ‘had made the economy worse' over the last six months, with just 30% believing that things had actually improved.
