After the video went viral, the 22-year-old Grande canceled her upcoming appearance at Saturday’s concert in Cincinnati, blaming her bailout on “emergency oral surgery” to remove three wisdom teeth on Monday.
“I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American, and I’ve always made it clear that I love my country,” she said Wednesday. “What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the doughnuts, was taken out of context, and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words.”
Demi Lovato will replace Grande at the All-Star show.
