ARIANA GRANDE HAS found herself in the middle of the strangest celebrity storm we’ve heard of in a while.

A video acquired by TMZ appears to show her in a doughnut shop with her new boyfriend, licking her way through the display, before declaring that she hates America.

Yeah.

Grande was due to perform at a Major League Baseball All-star event but after the video went viral, they announced they would be replacing her with Demi Lovato, citing ‘health issues’.

.@ddlovato will headline the Budweiser #ASG Concert, part of the Pepsi Music Series, replacing Ariana Grande as a result of health issues.

Wisdom teeth removal? Or hating America?

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Ariana later issued a statement to Buzzfeed, apologising for her comments.
