Elvira, known as the “Mistress of the Dark,” recently called out Ariana Grande for what she described as a disappointing backstage encounter several years ago. During a Q&A session at Knott’s Scary Farm, Elvira shared that Grande bought 21 tickets for friends and family, requested group photos, and then refused Elvira’s request for a photo together. She also claimed that Grande left before the show began, which stirred up online backlash, leading Elvira to call it her “worst celebrity encounter.”
In response, Grande took to Elvira’s Instagram post to explain and apologize. The singer admitted she had no memory of the interaction, recalling that she had an anxiety attack that day and likely left the venue early due to her struggles with being in crowds at the time. Grande expressed her regret and apologized, emphasizing that she never intended to offend Elvira. She thanked Elvira for being kind to her mom and added a heartfelt, “You’ll always be our queen of Halloween!”
Fans appreciated Grande’s response, praising her for addressing the situation with sincerity. Many commented on how graciously she handled the criticism and how she continues to maintain a respectful attitude despite facing backlash.
Elvira has yet to respond directly to Grande’s apology, but fans of both stars hope the matter will be resolved peacefully, acknowledging that misunderstandings happen and both celebrities acted with good intentions.
