Ariana Grande will 'always be a fan' of Bette Midler despite criticism

Ariana Grande has insisted that she is still an admirer of Bette Midler after the veteran slated her.

The iconic singer and actress recently told the Telegraph that she thinks Grande is "silly beyond belief".

She opined: "It's terrible! It's always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, slithering around on a couch, looking so ridiculous.

"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."

Grande has now responded to the quotes on Twitter, saying:

"Bette was always a feminist who stood for women being able to do whatever the F they wanted without judgement! Not sure where that Bette went but I want that sexy mermaid back! Always a fan no matter what my love."

The singer added a photo of Midler dressed as a mermaid.
