Ariana Grande masterfully shut down a critical person who accused her of using autotune at a recent concert.
The 26-year-old singer, who’s currently performing in Europe as part of her Sweetener World Tour, shared a short, now-deleted video of herself performing “Breathin.'” She didn’t mince words after an Instagram user commented and said that she’s “a great singer,” but the rendition didn’t appear to be live.
“Naw with all due respect, I could do this in your living room for you, fam,” Grande wrote in response. “With no sound mixing or help at all.”
“I could do it on broadway (and did),” she added, referring to her early start in the entertainment industry as part of the Broadway play “13.”
"I can do it in the shower. in the car. it's my gift / it's why i'm here," the "Thank U, Next" singer continued. "I sing 30+ songs a night. Every word. it's my thing. let me shine like damn."

It's clear Grande is quite vocally talented. She rose to fame for her role as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon's "Victorious" and showcased her musical skills to an extent on the sitcom. The singer began showing off her full vocal abilities and four-octave range (which often draws comparisons to Mariah Carey's five-octave range) when she pursued her solo career. In addition to sharing a cover of Carey's "Emotions," Grande has also posted a raw video of herself singing "Dangerous Woman" (from her 2016 album of the same name) a capella, with no accompaniment.
