Ariana Grande's inspiring message to fans

Ariana Grande has inspired a new social media movement of fans sending her selfies after she inspired them to embrace self-love.

The hashtag #selfiesforAriana was born after the singer encouraged her loyal followers to stop cropping and block their faces with emoji's in the photos they take with her.

"I love meeting y’all out and about, it makes me so happy!” the 24-year-old singer said on Instagram.

“But it makes me so sad when y’all don’t put your faces in the photos or put emojis over your faces or ask to not be in them! You show me so much unconditional love all the time no matter what TF I look like."

She continued by asking fans to show themselves the same kindness.

"You deserve to show yourselves that same kindness," She said. "Please learn to give that to yourselves! You will get there and you deserve it and I love you the very same way! Sweet dreams."

Most of the posts were also accompanied by beautiful messages about how the singer had inspired them to be more confident in themselves and their bodies.

Showing her appreciation, Ariana went on to say, "Y'all are such a light in my life thank you for making my day already. Love you miss u still."
