Cher’s already thrown her support behind Britney Spears during her conservatorship fight, and she did so again on Thursday night over a report that Jamie Spears would be stepping down. Before that happened, however, the legendary singer and actress had a slip of the fingers, and all hell broke loose. This turned into a rare moment of real fun on Twitter, so we must talk this out.
Things were going well, given that Cher had been previously tweeting about an HSN (Home Shopping Network) appearance. When all was said and done, however, Cher popped onto her phone and simply tweeted, “I had a great time on H.” Oh no.
I had a great time on H

So, very clearly, this was a typo, yet Cher’s immediate replies turned into a mixture of people playing along and/or wondering what the heck was going on (especially since Cher’s former husband, Gregg Allman, was a heroin addict, and Cher is anti-drug and even campaigned against marijuana use in the 1960s).
don't cher needles

Very quickly, Cher realized what had happened, but (like a champ) she did not delete her erroneous tweet. Instead, she explained (in her frequent ALL-CAPS fashion) that she’d pushed send too early. Then Cher communicated that the camera work on HSN was less than desirable, and had ‘MADE ME LOOK LIKE’ she had… eaten a turkey? Alright.
DAMN …PUSHED SEND😡
I HAD A GREAT TIME ON HSN LAST NIGHT,BUT… “OUR”CAMERA WAS TOO LOW…WHICH MADE MY EYELINE TOO LOW,WHICH
MADE ME LOOK LIKE…I,
A) JUST WOKE UP
B)WAS DEAD ON MY FEET
C) HAD JUST EATEN A🦃— Cher (@cher) August 12, 2021
Cher then lamented losing all her ‘CRED’ over a ‘MANGLED’ tweet. The Oscar winner then declared a divorce from grammar, so please lighten up, everyone.
OK,SO ALL MY ST.CRED IS GONE BECAUSE I MANGLED A TWT🙄⁉️
YOU KNEW “&.?’ #% !
GRAMMAR & I WERE
ESTRANGED,SEPARATED,
GETTING A DIVORCE— Cher (@cher) August 12, 2021
Fair enough. And here’s the aforementioned support for Britney Spears, even though her dad hasn’t stepped away from the conservatorship quite yet. Cher ‘COULDN’T HAPPIER 4 HER IF I WAS TWINS.’ Same, Cher!
IF I WAS BRIT I’D GET A FORENSIC ACCOUNTANT.
I COULDN’T HAPPIER 4 HER IF I WAS TWINS
