Views were quick to call out Grennan on social media for his behavior, one Twitter user calling it “highly inappropriate” and another pointing out that he needs to “do better.”
However on Sunday, the “Love Me Like You Do” artist shared her own opinions,tweeting in defense of Grennanin what she called “titgate.”
“A word on Brit/ tit gate … I was wearing a beautiful breastplate, thank you all for appreciating it ;) My friend@Tom_Grennanis 100% an ally and we were having a bit of fun. No offense taken, no harm intended- and no other interpretations necessary x.”
“Love ya@elliegouldingWhat started as a joke between Ellie and I before we went on stage came out all wrong. The nerves got the better of us, but that does not excuse what was said, and I sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended - that’s not me at all, and I am sorry x.”
