Ariana Grande is extending an olive branch to Elvira, a.k.a. Cassandra Peterson, after the Mistress of the Dark publicly recounted an unpleasant past encounter with the Wicked star.

Commenting on Peterson’s recent Instagram post featuring a viral video accusing Grande of rude behavior at an Elvira show, the pop singer wrote that she was “so disheartened to see this. I actually don’t even remember getting the chance to meet you because I had an anxiety attack and to my memory, left before the rest of my family (this was around 7 years ago and at the time I was really not great with being in public crowds or loud places.)”

Grande added, “if i’m misremembering this moment, i sincerely apologize for offending you so. thank you for being so nice to my mom, she told me how lovely you were (she might have different feelings about that now but i’ll talk to her… clearly, we all have our days!)”

She concluded by saying, “you’ll always be our queen of halloween!”

Grande’s response came after Peterson recalled during a recent fan Q&A that Grande once came to a show of hers and “brought 20 guests, she wanted 21 tickets. We gave her the tickets and she comes backstage and she asks if I can take pictures with all of her friends and relatives she brought. I take a picture with every single one of them, I sign autographs for every single one of them. Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photo together?’ And she goes, ‘No, I don’t really do that.'”

Adding insult to injury, Peterson remembered that Grande then “left before my show started! All her relatives stayed, and she took off.”

Representatives for Grande and Peterson didn’t immediately reply to Entertainment Weekly‘s request for comment.

It’s an uncanny bit of life imitating art that Grande has a memory of the encounter that’s notably distinct from Peterson’s, because Grande will soon play a woman trapped in a vicious cycle of misunderstanding with someone she greatly esteems in John M. Chu‘s big-screen Wicked adaptation.

This is also the second time in just a few days that Grande has found herself in the position of being asked to respond to remarks concerning her. Last week, her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo sharply criticized a fan edit of the Wicked poster for lowering her character’s hat to cover her eyes, bringing it more in line with the original poster for the Broadway musical.

“This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen, equal to that awful AI of us fighting, equal to people posing the question ‘if your ***** green,'” Erivo wrote on her Instagram stories. When asked for her response to Erivo’s comments, Grande once again chose the path of least contention. “I think it’s very complicated because I find AI so conflicting and troublesome sometimes, but I think it’s just kind of such a massive adjustment period,” she said. “This is something that is so much bigger than us, and the fans are gonna have fun and make their edits.”

Once the dust from these scuffles settles, Grande and Erivo will be ready to take flight for Wicked‘s theatrical premiere on Nov. 22.
