Ariana Grande vs Elvira, the Dark Mistress of the rivalry not on our 2024 bingo cards.
But it seems to be happening. And just in time for Halloween.
Ariana Grande doesn’t always get along with everyone she meets. Sometimes it happens, even with the most beloved celebrities.
However, no one expected a call from Elvira. Now, Ariana is responding to the cultural icon.
What happened between Ariana Grande and Elvira, the Dark Mistress?
Elvira is at Knott’s Scary Farm (it’s winter, after all) in the buildup to Halloween. During a fan Q&A, one of her fans asked about meeting celebrities. Elvira has entertained generations and will obviously have some stories to tell.
Elvira remembers when Ariana Grande attended one of the Halloween events. According to Elvira, she gave about 20 tickets to Ariana’s guests and then invited them all backstage for a photo together.
After the fact, Elvira explained, she asked for a photo with Ariana herself. He added that Ariana denied it, saying she “didn’t do it”.
Taking to Instagram, Elvira shared a picture of the story coverage, labeling the event as “story time.”
Obviously, the story immediately gained traction. Elvira is not just a celebrity – she is a seasonal symbol and a cultural institution unto herself.
And Ariana Grande took to Elvira’s Instagram comments to write her response.
What does Ariana Grande have to say about the Elvira anecdote?
“I hate to see this,” Ariana Grande began. “I don’t even remember getting the chance to see you because I’m having an anxiety attack.”
He explained: “And to remember, left before the rest of the family (this was about 7 years ago and at that time I really didn’t like crowds or loud places).”
In the spring of 2017, an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester was the target of a deadly terrorist attack. This is five months later.
“But if I misremembered this time, I sincerely apologize for offending you,” Ariana Grande said.
“Thank you for being so good to my mom, she told me you were so good,” she recalled. Ariana then added: “(He might have different feelings about it right now, but I’ll talk to him… obviously, we all have our days!).”
Ariana Grande then concluded her message: “Send love. You will always be the queen of Halloween.”
Elvira is, indeed, the queen of Halloween
In particular, Elvira has worked with various celebrities. She even appeared on Kim Petras’ Halloween album (although, let’s be honest, all of Kim Petras’ music works on Halloween if you’re into fun).
We’re sure he’s had other positive and negative encounters with celebrities, but this is what happened.
Stan Twitter is naturally about this, but let’s keep it in perspective. Ariana’s anxiety is understandable, but it doesn’t excuse being rude. That might explain it. And he has given a pretty decent apology. Ariana and Elvira don’t need to have beef when all they have is a 7 year old misunderstanding.
