Ariana Grande Takes a Strong Political Stance Ahead of the Election
As the election draws closer, more and more celebrities are making public endorsements for their candidate of choice—and Ariana Grande joined her fellow stars this weekend when she revealed she already voted for Kamala Harris.
The singer shared a selfie to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, Oct. 27, announcing that she cast her ballot for the Democratic nominee through Florida's early voting program.

Grande used a snippet from Beyoncé's song "Freedom" for her post, which included a sticker reading "your vote matters," according to the Daily Mail.
This isn't the first time the pop star showed her support for the Democratic campaign. In July, she re-posted President Joe Biden's Instagram message endorsing Harris after he dropped his bid for re-election.
Grande wasn't the only celeb to endorse Harris on Sunday after a rally for Donald Trump at New York City's Madison Square Garden featured comedian Tony Hinchcliffe making crude and racially insensitive jokes.

"There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico," Hinchcliffe said.
"These Latinos, they love making babies too," he added. "Just know that. They do. They do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country."
Hinchcliffe's comments prompted Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin, all of whom have Puerto Rican heritage, to share videos of Harris appealing to Puerto Rican voters.
"This is what they think of us," Martin wrote in Spanish. "Vote for @kamalaharris."
