Grande's cheeks and mouth are noticeably swollen in the apology video in which she says she is "embarrassed" by her actions. She had "emergency oral surgery" recently and will not be appearing at Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game as a result. Demi Lovato will replace her.

Grande initially apologized on her Twitter account for the incident Wednesday when she wrote, "Need to clean up this mouth of mine and set a better example for my babes."

Grande previously voiced displeasure with some aspects of American culture, specifically eating habits and the obesity rate.
