Pop icon Ariana Grande has officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president, urging her massive social media following to vote in the upcoming election. Grande, 31, took to Instagram on Sunday, sharing that she has already cast her ballot for Harris, 60, through Florida\u2019s early voting program. She posted a selfie with a \u201cyour vote matters\u201d sticker and added Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s <\/span>Freedom<\/span><\/i> as background music\u2014an anthem that has become closely associated with Harris\u2019 campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

With her endorsement, Grande joins an increasing roster of high-profile celebrities supporting Harris, including Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Ricky Martin, who have collectively rallied their followers after an incendiary incident at Donald Trump\u2019s Sunday rally. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe\u2019s remarks, made during Trump\u2019s event at Madison Square Garden, included racial stereotypes and derogatory comments about Puerto Rico. Hinchcliffe\u2019s statements, such as referring to Puerto Rico as \u201ca floating island of garbage\u201d and perpetuating harmful stereotypes about Latino communities, sparked immediate backlash.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Puerto Rican roots shared by Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Martin brought added resonance to their support for Harris following Hinchcliffe\u2019s controversial comments. Each expressed dismay at the rhetoric, redirecting their energy to publicly endorse Harris and share her plans for addressing issues in Puerto Rico.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harris, the Democratic candidate, has garnered wide-ranging support from stars across the entertainment spectrum, including Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney, and Eminem, the latter making a surprise appearance alongside Barack Obama at a Harris campaign event in Michigan. Grande, known for her occasional advocacy of Democratic causes, has remained relatively private about her political stance until now. Her endorsement of Harris, however, aligns with her past activism, including her support for voter registration efforts in the state of Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n

This endorsement from Grande and other cultural icons is significant, especially in light of President Joe Biden\u2019s announcement in July that he would not seek re-election. Grande had previously reposted Biden\u2019s endorsement of Harris, where he stated, \u201cDemocrats \u2013 it\u2019s time to come together and beat Trump.\u201d Her most recent post not only reinforces her commitment but also amplifies the urgency for her 376 million followers to vote.<\/span><\/p>\n
