After issuing apology regarding her donut-licking controversy, the 'Problem' hitmaker declared her love for the U.S. during her Tampa concert on Thursday, July 16.

AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande continues to make amends following her donut-licking controversy. Ariana returned to the stage for the first time on Thursday, July 16 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida for the second-half of her "Honeymoon" tour.

In a video posted on YouTube by a fan, Ariana could be heard saying to her fans during the show, "I'm so grateful to be here in Tampa! And I'm so, so grateful to be performing in the USA, the greatest country on the world! I love you guys so much."

Ariana previously issued an apology after she was filmed saying "I hate America" in the donut-licking video. "I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I've always made it clear that I love my country," she said in a statement, "What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words."

The "Problem" hitmaker later posted a video apology on YouTube, admitting that she "missed the opportunity to sincerely apologize" the last time she issued an apology because she "was too busy preaching about [her] issues with the food industry."
