🚨WE HAVE A BIT OF A PROBLEM, PEOPLE. AND IT'S HIGH TIME WE FIXED IT.🚨
Too many people are not drinking the Ariana Grande Kool-Aid for a variety of bogus reasons, ranging from "I hate her silly ponytail" to the fact she "allegedly" doesn't enunciate any of her lyrics...
...or because of that whole doughnut-licking controversy.
But it's time we put that nonsense to rest and hopped on the Ariana Grande train (next stop, superstardom). She's all about body positivity, girl power, and being an LGBT ally.
WHAT THE HECK IS NOT TO LOVE?!?!
Most important of all, unlike most of your faves, Ari can ACTUALLY sing. And we've got the receipts to prove it.
