Ariana Grande Reveals Justin Bieber Told Her To Post Kissing Photo

Ariana Grande, the singer who has opened up for Justin Bieber on his recent "Believe" tour, recently revealed that the 19-year-old Canadian crooner convinced her to post a heavily scrutinized photograph of the pair in an intimate position.

Grande,20, posted an image of Bieber planting a kiss on her cheek earlier this month and received backlash from his fans and those who are fond of his on-and-off again entertainer girlfriend Selena Gomez. However, Grande is revealing why she took to social media to post the image, knowing that she would face scrutiny because of it.

"I think [fans] had trended #JustinAndArianaSelfie or something like that, so I was like, 'we have to do this.' Justin was like 'Yo, let's take a picture,'" Grande revealed to MTV. "And so I took out my phone and I went like this and I was just smiling and he kissed me on the cheek."

However, Bieber's opening act was too shy to stick around after the headliner kissed her on his tour.

"And I didn't know what to do. I just walked out of the room. I got shy," she told MTV. "And then [Justin's manager] Scooter came after to me and said, 'Justin says you have to post that picture.'"

However, Grande did not instantly oblige.

"And I said, 'I will not.' And he was like 'he says you have to post that picture,'" she recalled. "And I was like I can't do that because I don't want the drama that's going to come with that."

After she initially posted the image, Grande defended herself against critics who did not approve of her seeming to get cozy with Biber.

"Everyone, girls are allowed to be friends with guys," Grande tweeted. "I'm a lady. Chill out."
