Ariana Grande: ‘USA, The Greatest Country In The World’

Ariana Grande’s “I Heart America” tour continues!

The singer stopped off in Tampa on Thursday and during her show took a moment to let her patriotic flag fly while chatting with the crowd.

“I’m so grateful to be here in Tampa!” Ariana, who previously licked a few doughnuts and told her backup dancer, “I hate America,” said to her fans while wearing her trademark cats ears.

“And I’m so, so grateful to be performing in the USA, the greatest country in the world!” the 22-year-old continued.

Adding, “I love you guys so much!”

Last week, Ariana issued a series of apologies following her doughnut-licking antics and “I hate America” comments made headlines

“I made a mistake and I’m being judged for it, which I understand because I watched it and was just as disappointed in myself. So, I get it 100 percent. And I’m 22 years old. I’m human. I’ve still got a lot to learn and I’ll make mistakes, and that’s how I’m gonna learn. I’m gonna learn from my mistakes and I’m gonna learn by messing up, but that’s how we grow,” she previously said in a video posted on YouTube. “We just have to get better and actually act on it and use the mistakes as a platform to learn, to grow and to become better. It’s all a process. But, yeah, I want to be as good as I possibly can be for my babes.”

America, still the greatest, so says Ariana.
