She returned to the stage for the first time on Thursday, July 16 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida for the second-half of her "Honeymoon" tour.
In a video posted on YouTube by a fan, Grande could be heard saying to her fans during the show, "I'm so grateful to be here in Tampa! And I'm so, so grateful to be performing in the USA, the greatest country on the world! I love you guys so much."
The "Love Me Harder" singer released a public statement, clarifying that she was, in fact, proud to be an American while also condemning the way Americans eat.
But after that was also criticised, the Nickelodeon alum shared a sincere YouTube video, directly apologising for her actions.
