Ariana Grande recently received a direct response from the White House after she called out the Trump administration and its supporters. On September 28, 2025, the actress and singer reshared a post by activist Matt Bernstein criticizing the administration's views on immigration, transphobia, and free speech while questioning whether the lives of Trump supporters had improved since Trump was elected president.The post, formatted like a check-in for Trump supporters, asked them whether their lives have "gotten better," their groceries have "gotten cheaper," their health insurance premiums have "gone down," their work/life balance "has improved," and their overall happiness has increased since Trump assumed power in January 2025.“I want to check in with Trymp voters. I have one very genuine question: it’s been 250 days. Now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all — has your life gotten better?” the post read.On September 29, 2025, White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai released a statement to Entertainment Weekly on behalf of Trump's administration to address Ariana Grande's Instagram post. The statement, which was riddled with Grande's song titles, including Save Your Tears, Get Well Soon, and Just Like Magic, claimed that Trump ended his predecessor Joe Biden's "inflation crisis." Furthermore, Desai mentioned the Federal Trade Commission's recent lawsuit against Ticketmaster and parent company Live Nation regarding resale ticket prices, adding:"Save your tears, Ariana. Because President Trump’s actions ended Joe Biden’s inflation crisis and are bringing in trillions in new investments. He even signed an executive order just like magic that paved the way for the FTC to crack down on Ticketmaster for ripping off Ariana Grande’s concert-going fans. Get well soon, Ariana!”allegra☀️ @theegrandeheelsLINKkush desai, a spokesperson for the white house, reacts to ariana grande criticizing donald trump’s administration:"save your tears, ariana, because president trump’s actions ended joe biden’s inflation crisis and are bringing in trillions in new investments. he even signed an executive order just like magic that paved the way for the ftc to crack down on ticketmaster for ripping off ariana grande’s concert-going fans. get well soon, ariana!”Ariana Grande supported Kamala Harris during the 2024 electionAriana Grande was vocally supportive of Kamala Harris during her 2024 presidential campaign.
