As BWW reported last week, Bette Midler shared her strong views on Ariana Grande's performance on this year's AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS, in a no-holds-barred interview with UK's Telegraph.
Midler, who later called a truce on Twitter, yesterday went one step further to Tweet this offer to the young singer:
"Yes, it's my birthday! And my birthday wish is that @ArianaGrande forgives me soon and let's me direct her next video..."
Now that would be a pairing we would like to see!
