Your support makes all the difference.Ariana Grande and Piers Morgan have seemingly buried the hatchet, having previously engaged in a feud regarding Little Mix and female sexuality.
In November 2018, Morgan heavily condemned Little Mix for "using their sexuality" to sell records after the pop group took part in a nude photoshoot to promote their single "Strip".
Grande promptly came to the band's defence, tweeting that she looks forward to the day when Morgan realises that "there are other ways to go about making yourself relevant than to criticise young, beautiful, successful women fo everything they do".
It appears that the singer and the Good Morning Britain presenter have now settled their differences, having sat down for a chat after recently running into one another.
On Wednesday 20 February, Morgan shared a tweet indicating that he'd recently spent time with Grande, writing: "Thank u for a great night @ArianaGrande."
"Thank u for some laughs and some v productive conversation! It was nice bumping into u!" the 25-year-old responded, before adding the hashtags "#FutureFeministPiers" and "#FingersCrossed".
However, the pair's encounter has caused a stir on social media with several Twitter users voicing their shock at the conviviality being shared between the pair.
"The tweet I least expected in my life tbh," one person tweeted.
"Uhh what the hell is happening," another added.
Morgan also shared a selfie that the pair had taken together during their encounter, tweeting that it "turns out we really like each other".
Following the influx of responses from her fans, Grande went into more detail about their unexpected interaction.
"Well... we bumped into each other. At a restaurant. And i decided to sit with him and we spoke for a while," the singer tweeted.
"I think some progress was made! Turns out face to face discussions are a bit kinder and gentler, even if you do indeed disagree."
While some of Grande's fans expressed their confusion over the situation, others conveyed their admiration for the singer.
"Omg you’re so cute and mature for this we love a respectful woman," one fan responded.
In 2017, Morgan criticised Grande for not immediately visiting the victims of the Manchester Arena terror attack, which occurred at one of her concerts on 22 May 2017.
The TV presenter later apologised for his remarks, telling the singer that he "misjudged" her after watching the One Love Manchester concert at which she performed.
