Ariana Grande is showing off "MY GUY" – Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The Democratic presidential candidate, 78, attended the pop star's Atlanta concert Tuesday night, where the two posed for pictures and shared a hug backstage.

"Thank you Senator Sanders for coming to my show, making my whole night and for all that you stand for," Grande, 26, captioned several Instagram photos of herself and Sanders grinning ear to ear. "I will never smile this hard again."

The "Thank U, Next" singer has partnered with the nonprofit organization HeadCount to help her concertgoers register to vote at every stop of her Sweetener World Tour, which wraps up in late December. The outreach program is called "#thankunextgen."

"@Headcountorg and i are doing our best to make you proud," Grande added. "We’ve already registered 20k+ young voters at my shows and more online and we aren’t stopping any time soon. proud of my fans for paying attention and getting involved. we adore you!"

The feeling is mutual.

Sanders took to Twitter to document their meet-and-greet with a sweet message for the singer: "I want to thank @ArianaGrande for not only being a wonderful entertainer, but also for being such an outstanding advocate for social justice. We must all be prepared – like Ariana has shown – to fight for everyone who is struggling. It was great to meet her in Atlanta last night."

Ahead of her Atlanta show, Grande was forced to cancel a tour stop in Kentucky over the weekend because she was "very sick" with a sinus infection. But it appears Sanders' visit was just what the pop star needed to feel better.

That wasn't the only good news for Grande. On Wednesday, she was nominated for five Grammys, including record ("7 Rings") and album of the year ("thank u, next").

"Thank u for acknowledging this music my beautiful best friends and i created in just a few weeks together," she wrote on Instagram. "The acknowledgement is truly more than enough on its own for me and my heart. thank u."
