​Ariana Grande proclaims her love for the USA in concert

Ariana Grande accused of spitting on doughnuts

Ariana Grande really loves the United States of America, O.K.?

The 22-year-old pop star came under fire two weeks ago after being caught on surveillance video at a doughnut shop saying, "I hate Americans. I hate America." Since then, she's made numerous apologizes as well as attempts to explain what she meant.

And her backpeddling continues.

On Thursday night, the Florida native proclaimed her love for the country while performing in Tampa.

Fan footage from the show shows Grande addressing the crowd, saying, " I'm so grateful to be here in Tampa! And I'm so, so grateful to be performing in the USA, the greatest country on the world!"

In the same surveillance video, Grande was also caught licking and spitting on doughnuts in the Lake Elsinore, California, shop.
