Ariana Grande will defend Kim Kardashian's nudes until she dies

"’ll be in the produce aisle, naked at 95, with a sensible ponytail, one strand of hair left on my head and a Chanel bow. Mark my words."

Ariana Grande is a 5-foot vessel of untamable feminist rage. 

In her new Billboard cover story, she goes in about the problems women in the industry face that don't exist for her male counterparts. And 60 years from now, when she's topless in Whole Foods buying vegan food, she demands that you respect her.

Grande's so angry about a series of tweets from a radio station shaming Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus and praising Zayn and Justin Bieber for the same that she makes the reporter read them on her phone. 

If you’re going to rave about how sexy a male artist looks with his shirt off and a woman decides to get in her panties or show her boobies for a photo shoot, she needs to be treated with the same awe and admiration. I will say it until I’m an old-ass lady with my tits out at Whole Foods. I’ll be in the produce aisle, naked at 95, with a sensible ponytail, one strand of hair left on my head and a Chanel bow. Mark my words. See you there with my 95 dogs.

And since Kim Kardashian recently made the promise "nude selfies 'till I die" during her Webbys acceptance speech, it's good that she has a longterm, committed ally in Grande and her pack of dogs, which currently includes seven pups. 

“I’ll never be able to swallow the fact that people feel the need to attach a successful woman to a man when they say her name,” Grande says, not-so-subtly hinting at the chains that seem to eternally attach Selena Gomez to Justin Bieber despite her own accomplishments. 

Grande won't name names ("it’ll be so much drama") but is enraged that the singer in question will always be known as someone's ex first, even years after the relationship ended.


Grande clearly spends a lot of time in between reading Gloria Steinem books monitoring how female celebrities are treated, but she doesn't want to get involved in feuds. 

“If people are fighting, I stay as far away as possible," Grande explained. "I’ve said this a million times: I hate drama. I love women in the industry. I’m a big fan of all my peers, and I try to keep it a hundred."
