A fan then commented on the post, saying it sounds like she’s using autotune and not signing live.
“It sounds like autotune and probably not live,” they wrote. “I mean you are a great singer and I love your voice and songs but this doesn’t sound live.”
Ariana then commented back slamming the accusations.
“Naw with all due respect, I could do this in your living room for you, fam,” Ariana wrote. “With no sound mixing or help at all. I could do it on Broadway (and did). I can do it on the shower. In the car. It’s my gift / it’s why I’m here. I sing 30+ sons a night. Every word. It’s my thing. Let me shine like damn.”
Ariana Grande is opening up about her current battle with anxiety and depression.
The “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored” crooner had to cancel a fan meet-and-greet on the latest stop of her Sweetener World Tour on Friday (August 30) in Antwerp, Belgium.
“Hi my loves,” Ariana wrote on Instagram (via The Huffington Post). “Time for some honesty. My depression and anxiety have been at an all-time high lately. I have been giving you all I’ve got and trying to push through as hard as I can and mask it.”
“Today has been an extra rough one,” she continued. “After a handful of panic attacks, I feel like the wisest decision would be to not do soundcheck party or [meet-and-greet] today and preserve my energy for the show.”
“I don’t want to rush through our time together or seem shaky,” she added. “I like spending actual time with you and I won’t be able to be present or give you the best of me today.”
“I wish I had control over these attacks but as anybody with anxiety or depression understands, sometimes you can only operate on its terms and not your own,” she shared.
Ariana assured fans that they would be reimbursed and promised to give the “the best show” she could.
Ariana Grande just performed for the first time in Manchester since the benefit concert she hosted for the city after a terrorist attack took place at her concert.
The 26-year-old singer headlined the 2019 Manchester Pride Live concert on Sunday (August 25) in Manchester, England.
Earlier this year, Ariana defended herself after people criticized her for playing a pride concert even though she’s straight.
“the lgbtq community has been so special to me and supportive throughout my career. The relationships I have with lgbtq fans, friends, and family make me so happy. I want to celebrate and support this community regardless of my identity or how people label me. and also I wanna visit a city that means so much to me,” Ariana said at the time on Twitter. “I do think there’s room for us to talk about these issues without equating a performance *for* an lgbtq audience with exploitation of the lgbtq community. I’m not claiming to be the hero of the lgbtq rights movement — I just wanna put on a show that makes my lgbtq fans feel special and celebrated and supported. that’s all I wanna do.”

The 23-year-old Fifth Harmonymember-turned-solo star is already making waves with smash hits alongside Khalid and Sam Smith, and now she’s going solo with “Motivation,” released on Friday (August 16).
The track is the lead single off of her long-awaited solo studio album, and was co-written by Ariana Grande, Ilya, Savan Kotecha and Max Martin.
“Just trust your instinct; trust your gut. And listen to that voice inside of you, and it’ll tell you that you’re done. Just take your time, too, and have fun in the process and make sure that it’s something that you love. She’s dope. She also has a part in the record that I’m releasing, too. She wrote on it,” Normani said of Ari‘s involvement.
