This week, Ariana Grande appeared to endorse Bernie Sanders after he attended one of her recent shows in Atlanta, Georgia. Ari shared photos of the pair smiling backstage at her gig and captioned the pics with praises for the presidential hopeful.
"MY GUY," wrote the singer. "Thank you Senator Sanders for coming to my show, making my whole night and for all that you stand for !!! @headcountorg and i are doing our best to make you proud. i’m so proud of my fans for paying attention and getting involved. we adore you! also... i will never smile this hard again [sic]."
Ariana teamed up with HeadCount this year to register young voters at all of her shows. Earlier in 2019, CNBC reported that Ariana's Sweetener Tour was "the most successful single artist tour for voter registration HeadCount has seen since 2008".
Sanders returned the love on his own social media, thanking Ariana for being "a wonderful entertainer" and an "outstanding advocate for social justice". A dynamic duo, truly.
