Ariana Grande got pretty patriotic during her Tampa performance.

Ten days after being caught making anti-American comments and licking donuts, the 22-year-old pop star praised her homeland during a concert in Florida.

"I'm so grateful to be here in Tampa!" she said on stage. "And I'm so, so grateful to be performing in the USA, the greatest country in the world!"

This comment is a far cry from what she was heard saying at Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, California.

In the shop's surveillance video, Grande reacts to the baker bringing out freshly baked donuts. "What the f**k is that?" she says. "I hate Americans. I hate America. That's disgusting."

The "Problem" singer has since apologized twice for her actions.

"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 to ET. "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."
