She wrote, “Russia’s Pointless and Greed Driven Invasion Of Ukraine MUST be stopped!!”

She also blasted Vladimir Putin, saying, “Putin has Violated Every Human Rights Accord in Existence.”

Many of her fans in Ukraine thanked her for her support and for speaking out for them.

[{"selector":"#anim-6961333c-cf08-445b-ad0b-5dd302a6dfea","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb32cf9d-dadb-47e6-9251-24c13dfb7f48","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5da4983e-4a59-45b1-a418-7ca8307b4bee","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Since one of the posts showed her dancing to the “Sorry” remix, some also felt the post was narcissistic and she did not have to show her body juxtaposed against Ukraine’s invasion.

[{"selector":"#anim-c5fb09ec-38dd-4c2a-a3cf-cddf28e79f14","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c7412b33-b842-4a3a-9a2b-6f064b2b63da","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.45741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ae8d00a2-9882-4179-aba2-41c811f5ba4b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In her support, Instagram users pointed out that the video was actually fan-made and she had only posted it.

[{"selector":"#anim-3bed5807-32ae-46f9-af8d-f79c23b064f6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0b195e4b-1d95-490d-be97-97922b1b1ed6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.45741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c96bce31-1cdb-4c39-b48e-00fb7e9b51cf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Her pointed words and posts were enough for Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy to start following her.

Meanwhile after lighting up her Instagram with the Ukraine posts, the 63-year-old singer started to promote her “Frozen” remix.

[{"selector":"#anim-fe31d198-5d4f-4458-b96d-e96ee5725519","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-39ba42bc-c7bd-4d75-b373-ef6b6f117b45","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd75babb-51af-4a00-9a59-554090f4f280","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Here too, while some fans felt it was cool and she looked great, others felt she looked artificial and was ruining the song.
