On Monday morning, Ariana Grande was one of the top trending topics in the Philippines when she shared an Instagram story video of the PH Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Kiko Pangilinan supporters singing her hit song "Break Free."

Robredo and Pangilinan are running mates for the positions of President and Vice President, respectively in the upcoming Philippine elections on May 2022.

The inspiring moment was captured through an aerial video and Ariana Grande cannot help but share her reaction to how her song was emboldening the crowd.

"Break Free" was one of the songs played at the Leni-Kiko election rally in Pasig City on Sunday, and Grande reposted the video on Instagram with a heartfelt thank you. "I could not believe this was real, I love you more than words," she said in the Instagram story.

In this Southeast Asian country, the singer enjoys a devoted fanbase. This is why after her reaction, the singer instantly became viral.

Ariana Grande, meanwhile appears to be happier than ever. After Kim Kardashian declared her relationship with Pete Davidson Instagram official, she can even send her a present. Her song "Thank You, Next" was all about having no hard feelings for her ex-boyfriends, yet it cannot be ignored that she and Davidson were once engaged.

Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian, the new girlfriend of her ex-fiance, appear to be in good terms though.

On Friday, Kim Kardashian, who recently made her relationship with Pete Davidson Instagram public, shared a gift box she received from the R.E.M. beauty entrepreneur on Instagram Stories. In her post, Kim mentioned Ariana's R.E.M. Beauty line as well as the singer herself.

In 2018, Ariana and Pete got engaged in front of the world. Matching tattoos and a ton of public appearances were all part of their quick romance. After only five months of dating, the two decided to call it quits on their relationship.

Before either of them were associated with the Saturday Night Live star, the "Pete Davidson" singer and the SKIMS founder had a long-standing relationship. Ariana debuted on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" in 2019 after Kris Jenner made a surprise appearance in her star-studded "Thank U, Next" video the previous year. Kim and her daughter North West met Ariana backstage after a concert in 2017.

Her reaction is not surprising, since she's likely amazed that her song is being used to inspire many people calling for a political change.

While still very young and a pop star, Ariana Grande has made it clear that she has no plans to keep quiet about her political opinions.

"Not everyone is going to agree with you, but that doesn't mean I'm just going to shut up and sing my songs," she told Elle. "I'm also going to be a human being who cares about other human beings; to be an ally and use my privilege to help educate people," she said.
