As you probably noticed, Ariana Grande didn't attend the Grammys this year, but she was really vocal on social media the entire time it was happening, so it was basically like she was there.

Among other things, she started tweeting and deleting her thoughts about the show. Mostly when her late ex-boyfriend Mac Miller lost to Cardi B in the Best Rap Album category.

According to Refinery29 and People, her first tweet after Cardi was announced as the winner said "f**k", followed by "trash", and "literal bullshit".

Fans were quick to point out that she shouldn't be mad at Cardi for winning, and she definitely shouldn't call her trash, so she clarified: "Nothing to do w her. good for her. I promise. I'm sorry." And: "She's not at all and that's not what I meant and u know that.”

And then, when another fan pointed out that Mac's parents were invited to the show only to watch his album lose, she chimed in to say that that's what she was getting at. "This. This is what I meant. Karen [Mac's mother] was gonna have a green suit made," she wrote.

All these tweets have since been deleted.
