Ariana Grande has gone from a Nickelodeon actress to a worldwide superstar. However, recently, one detail in her show left many people furious online. Why? The way she ran on stage left many asking one main question.

Ariana Grande first stepped into the spotlight as a teenager on Nickelodeon, where she quickly became a familiar face to younger audiences. But it didn’t take long for her to break away from television and move onto a world stage.

With her vocals and iconic style, Ariana Grande made the transition from child star to global music sensation, building a career filled with chart-topping hits, sold-out tours, and major awards.

However, a resurfaced video of Ariana Grande has sparked many emotions online and a large debate. Following a brief concert clip in which Ariana ran in a very special way, many claimed it was an imitation of a toddler.

The video, taken on June 6 during her The Eternal Sunshine Tour in Oakland, California, shows Grande appearing in a white floral Givenchy gown designed by Sarah Burton.

In the video, the singer moves quickly across the stage, taking small steps. While her talent as an entertainer is undisputed, it was her movement that drew criticism.

Some viewers viewed her movement as childlike, while others felt she was intentionally acting younger than her age.

“‘Endearing’ no, we lost a baddie. I never liked her, but this is performative toddler sh*t, and it’s annoying how she changed everything people liked about her,” one commenter wrote, per Bored Panda.

“Yeah, she’s trying to be a child again. She’s probably drinking baby blood,” a third person claimed.

Others defended Ariana Grande for the way she ran, arguing it was simply to avoid falling over while wearing both high heels and a floor-length gown.

“Y’all are so annoying. The dress is long af, she is making sure she doesn’t trip on it and fall. Please get a grip,” one user wrote.

A second added, “The dress is literally long af, she’s trying not to trip over it, and somehow y’all turned it into something else.”

“She never acted like this before”

The clip also spread on the social media platform Reddit, where many users accused Ariana Grande of faking it.

“If this is who she was the whole time then fine, but we’ve known her for 10 years before Wicked, we know this new personality is just an act! she never acted like this before,” one user wrote.

“How does the public not laugh at her literally acting like a baby?? She even worse a onesie, multiple times actually,” a second added.

A third said, “The toddler run is so weird. She was literally jumping around and shaking ass on stage in heels a few years ago why is she acting like she can’t walk in them now?” while a fourth wrote, “Oh my god .. the toddler run, the weird baby like facial expressions, i’m so annoyed she is so weird.”

A fifth simply stated, “I feel sick when she does this”
