The 22-year-old Ariana Grande has been pulled out of the Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Concert because of her wisdom teeth and Demi Lovato is stepping in. British rock band 'Rixton' will rock the MLB All-Star Concert as they will also be performing in the upcoming event. The concert will be held on Saturday at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, according to the news reported by the International Business Times.
Lovato expressed her excitement about the upcoming concert by saying "I'm so excited to be headlining the MLB All-Star Concert," Lovato wrote. "I hope my fans in Cincinnati are ready to get 'Cool for the summer'!" on her Twitter account.
Meanwhile, Grande, the "Problem" singer appears to be licking doughnuts at a California shop with her boyfriend over Fourth of July weekend. According to the news reported by Yahoo, after an employee brings out a tray of treats, Grande was overheard saying: "I hate Americans. I hate America."
The clip has been making the social media rounds Wednesday morning, and Grande's name has been trending on Facebook.
Grande released her statement on Wednesday regarding the "doughnuts" incident. She apologized for saying she hated America in comments, and was caught on tape, that she said they were taken out of context. She said that she has always made it clear that she loves her country.
She clarified the news by releasing a statement saying, "What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the doughnuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words," she said, as quoted by Yahoo. Grande said that sometimes she gets upset by how freely Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences that it has on their health and society as a whole.
MLB's chief operating officer Tony Petitti released his statement as quoted by Yahoo regarding Grande's removal as a performer in the concert saying, "We're disappointed that Ariana Grande cannot partake in the All-Star festivities, but wish her a speedy recovery."
