Ariana Grande has taken to TikTok to confront the numerous comments regarding her body. The talented singer has recently been subjected to widespread scrutiny regarding her weight, with countless individuals expressing "concern" about her slim physique in the comments section of her Instagram posts. This has led to a proliferation of viral TikToks on the same topic.
"I don't do this often, I don't like it, I'm not good at it," Ariana began in a new TikTok. "I just wanted to address your concerns about my body and talk a little bit about what it means to be a person with a body and to be seen and to be paid such close attention to."

"I think we should be gentler and less comfortable commenting on people's bodies, no matter what. If you think you're saying something good or well-intentioned, whatever it is: healthy, unhealthy, big, small, this, that, sexy, not sexy."
The 'positions' singer also pointed out that even comments meant to be complimentary aren’t ideal because you “never know what someone is going through.”
"I just also wanted to say, one, there are many different kinds of beautiful. There are many different ways to look healthy and beautiful. I know personally, for me, the body you've been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body."
She continued, "I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my 'healthy.' But that in fact wasn't my healthy. I know I shouldn't have to explain that, but I do feel like having an openness and some sort of vulnerability...something good might come from it."
"Sending you guys a lot of love, and I think you're beautiful no matter what you're going through, no matter what weight, no matter how you like to do your makeup these days, no matter what cosmetic procedures you've had or not," she concluded.
