Ariana Grande is getting roasted hard for the newest addition to her tattoo collection. On Tuesday, the singer posted a photo on Instagram of the tattoo on her palm, which supposedly reads "seven rings" in Japanese in honor of her latest single of the same name. Only, Japanese speakers on social media started noticing that the tattoo doesn't actually say "seven rings," but rather "Japanese-style barbecue grill" due to a terrible translation fail.

Following the backlash, Grande deleted her Instagram post and attempted to "fix" the tattoo with the help of her Japanese tutor by adding another character and a heart symbol. Unfortunately, this time around the tattoo reads "Japanese barbecue finger <3" which is arguably a lot worse than the original. Might be time to find a better tutor, Ariana. Sigh.

We're sad to report that this Twitter account no longer exists, unfortunately. It's a tragedy, really.

Millennials' favorite song, "Mr. Brightside," was already a shimmering gem, but it gets a wonderful new take when re-imagined in the Star Wars prequel universe. If you want to sing along with the video linked above, we won't even be mad.

Love her or hate her, you gotta admit that Taylor Swift is incredibly easy to make fun of.

So here are 18 T. Swift memes that'll take you right back to 1989.
