Ariana Grande made a subtle dig towards TikTokers and influencers who have continued to party and socialize in large groups throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
She appeared on the “Zach Sang Show” on October 30, saying: “Of all the things that we could have done, couldn’t we have just stayed home for a few more weeks like all the other countries that were fine, and are better than we are?
“Did we really all need to go to f—ing Saddle Ranch that badly that we couldn’t have waited for the deathly pandemic to pass?
“We all really needed to put on our cowgirl boots and ride a mechanical bull that bad?” she added. “We all needed that Instagram post that badly?”
Saddle Ranch is a popular LA chop house and hotspot for social media personalities.
Influencer paparazzi YouTube account Pap Galore tracked down two TikTokers, Addison Rae and Dixie D’Amelio, to ask them about Grande’s comments.
“I don’t really know what to think,” D’Amelio said. “I mean, she’s right. She’s right, yeah. She’s a queen. I love her.”
Rae said she thought Grande’s comments were “fair.”

“I think it’s understandable. I definitely have been not going. I just have been trying to stay in and work out. I’ve been working out a lot, and also preparing for my movie.”
However, Rae and her boyfriend Bryce Hall were spotted at Saddle Ranch just a couple of weeks ago.
Hall, coincidentally, appears to be one of the influencers who has been unable to curb his partying. Not only did he throw a massive 21st birthday party at the Sway House, attended by over 100 maskless guests and strippers, he was also spotted at another maskless party in October just days after saying he “fully regrets” hosting them.
