Ariana Grande decided to take the high road and responded to Bette Midler's diss of calling her 'a whore' by sending Bette her love. Grande - 1, Midler - 0.

To recap, this is what Bette told Telegraph this week:

It’s terrible! It’s always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch, looking so ridiculous.

She continued with this:

I mean, it’s silly beyond belief and I don’t know who’s telling her to do it. I wish they’d stop. But it’s not my business, I’m not her mother. Or her manager. Maybe they tell them that’s what you’ve got to do. Sex sells. Sex has always sold.

But Ariana responded very differently than expected on Twitter.

Bette Midler decided to apologize. Wise move. But too late, damage done.

What a burn!
