Pop star Ariana Grande is stirring buzz once again, this time for her Instagram activity involving climate activist Greta Thunberg. According to online reports, Grande has allegedly followed Thunberg on Instagram and liked her post responding to U.S. President Donald Trump. The move has triggered speculation about where Grande stands on activism, politics and her public persona.
Social media accounts such as PopCrave first drew attention to the follow, posting side-by-side images claiming Grande’s Instagram ‘followed’ status. Fan discussion threads and posts echoed the claim, with users pointing out that the like came from a recent post by Thunberg. Some posts also show screenshots that seem to confirm both the follow and the like.
If true, the gesture would mark another moment in which Grande subtly intersects her celebrity platform and social issues. In recent months, she has been vocal about political topics, including a viral post on Instagram in which she questioned Trump supporters about whether their lives improved under his policies. Tennis legend Martina Navratilova publicly backed her on that post.
However, it’s important to emphasise that as of now, none of the claims about following or liking have been officially confirmed by her team or verified by media outlets. Screenshots and social media claims can be misleading or manipulated, and it’s unclear whether her move was deliberate expression or a casual interaction.
Observers say that if the follow is real, it could signal that Grande is quietly aligning herself with environmental and social activism in a more visible way than before. Thunberg continues to be highly visible in global climate debates, so an Instagram follow from a massive pop star would carry symbolic weight.
Until Grande or her representatives confirm the actions, the reports remain in the realm of rumor but in an age where social media is itself a stage, even small interactions can resonate widely.
