The singer and actress, whose appearance has been a big topic of conversation as she promotes "Wicked: For Good," took to Instagram to share a message to anyone who feels the need to comment on her appearance.

"Resharing this from last year as a loving reminder to all," she wrote in a post to her Instagram story on Saturday, along with a lengthy video clip of an interview she did with Cynthia Erivo in December.

The clip shows Grande speaking about the beauty standards that women face, saying, "I’ve been doing this in front of the public and been a specimen in a Petri dish really since I was 16 or 17, so I have heard it all. I’ve heard every version of it, of what's wrong with me, and then you fix it, and then it's wrong for different reasons.

"But that's everything, from even just the simplest thing, like your appearance. You’re young, and you’re hearing all kinds of things.
