Grammys, Grande trade barbs over axed performance
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich said the show had multiple conversations with Ariana Grande about possibly performing Sunday but the singer “felt it was too late for her to pull something together,” but Grande accused Ehrlich of lying.
Grande fired back on Twitter on Thursday, saying “i’ve kept my mouth shut but now you’re lying about me.” Ehrlich told The Associated Press that Grande isn’t performing at the Grammys and that the Recording Academy wanted her to perform after having “conversations over the past month or so.”
“As it turned out when we finally got the point where we thought maybe it would work, she felt it was too late for her to pull something together for sure,” Ehrlich said in an interview Thursday.
But Grande wrote on Twitter that she “can pull together a performance over night and you know that, Ken.”
“It was when my creativity and self expression was stifled by you, that i decided not to attend. I hope the show is exactly what you want it to be and more,” she continued.
