Ariana Grande is hitting back at Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich who said that they had “multiple conversations” with Grande about performing but that Grande “felt it was too late for her to pull something together.”

That excuse didn’t fly with Grande. The singer took to Twitter to clap back.

“i’ve kept my mouth shut but now you’re lying about me. i can pull together a performance over night and you know that, Ken. it was when my creativity & self expression was stifled by you, that i decided not to attend. i hope the show is exactly what you want it to be and more.”

“i offered 3 different songs. it’s about collaboration. it’s about feeling supported. it’s about art and honesty. not politics. not doing favors or playing games. it’s just a game y’all.. and i’m sorry but that’s not what music is to me.”

She added that she’s “still grateful for the acknowledgement this year,” but she will not be attending the show.

Here is her full tweetstorm:
