Ariana Grande Apologizes to Elvira Over Meeting

Ariana Grande responded to accusations of rudeness from Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark, after the horror icon detailed an awkward backstage encounter from seven years ago. During a Q&A session, Elvira recounted how Grande requested 21 tickets for her guests and declined to take a photo with her, stating, 'No, I don’t really do that,' before leaving early. Grande, who was reportedly dealing with anxiety following the 2017 Manchester bombing, expressed her disheartenment at the memory and apologized, stating she didn't remember the encounter clearly. She noted that she left due to an anxiety attack and thanked Elvira for being nice to her mother. The exchange has sparked reactions from fans, with many supporting Grande. Elvira had previously referred to Grande as her least favorite celebrity interaction, highlighting the fallout from the incident.
