Pop star Ariana Grande has urged fans to be more mindful and sensitive when commenting on her and others’ bodies following recent remarks about her appearance on social media.
In a TikTok video, Grande addressed the attention her body has received and responded to comments about her apparent weight loss. She explained that people were comparing her current body to when she was unhealthy, taking antidepressants, drinking, and eating poorly.
The 29-year-old singer emphasized that “healthy” can appear differently for everyone and that fans should know that they never know what someone is going through. She asked fans to be kinder to one another and to avoid making judgments about others’ appearances, even if their intentions were good.

Grande highlighted the importance of recognizing diverse forms of beauty and encouraged fans to focus on being supportive and keeping each other safe. The singer, known for hits like ‘One Last Time’ and ‘Thank U, Next’, is also an actress and will star as Glinda Upland in the upcoming film adaptation of the musical Wicked.
Grande has been open about her anxiety and mental health struggles, particularly after the Manchester Arena attack in 2017. She is not the only celebrity whose weight has become a topic of conversation.
Last month, Selena Gomez explained that her body size and shape might change due to lupus medication, which causes water retention. Gomez reminded her TikTok followers that they are beautiful and encouraged them to prioritize their health and well-being.
