Just hours ahead of the fifth Democratic presidential debate, pop star Ariana Grande posted a photo of herself with presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

"MY GUY. thank Senator Sanders for coming to my show, making my whole and for all that you stand for !" Grande posted.

She added that she was joining with the organization "HeadCount," which promotes voter registration. The group, which partners with other musicians like the Dave Matthews Band, the Dixie Chicks and JAY-Z, says they have registered more than 620,000 voters.

The meeting between the two at Grande's Atlanta concert came weeks after Bernie's account who tweeted about Medicare above a viral tweet from the singer that asked "baby how u feeling."

The response generated more tweets, including from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has recently supported Sanders' bid from the presidency.

Grande, 26, has been unapologetic about her politics. In a 2018 Elle magazine feature, she admitted to receiving backlash for her support for gun reform laws and Black Lives Matter.

“There’s a lot of noise when you say anything about anything. But if I’m not going to say it, what’s the f---ing point of being here? Not everyone is going to agree with you, but that doesn’t mean I’m just going to shut up and sing my songs," she said.

Grande first found success as a teenage actress on the Nickelodeon TV show "Victorious" before transitioning to music. Her net worth has been estimated at $50 million.
