Ariana Grande doesn’t mind stopping to take photos with fans, but she does get upset when her fans crop themselves out of the pictures.

On Sunday the 24-year-old singer shared an inspirational message on her Instagram Story, calling on fans to practice self-love and proudly share photos of themselves.
