If she could only turn back time!
Cher might be one of the Queens of music, but she certainly still has a thing or two to learn about Twitter — especially how and when to use emojis!

As you know, on Wednesday, tragedy struck Istanbul Ataturk Airport when three suicide bombers set bombs off that killed at least 42 and injured over 100 people.
Well Cher thought it would be a good idea to take to Twitter to share her thoughts on the matter and sent out a VERY insensitive tweet saying:
WE ALL PRAY FOR INNOCENT PPL IN TURKEY AIRPORT 💣💥
— Cher (@cher) June 28, 2016
The 70-year-old songstress got quite a bit of backlash from people after the tweet, not for her words, but rather the use of the bomb emoji. We can definitely see how the tweet comes across a bit more playful and lighthearted with the emoji which is obviously NOT appropriate for such a tragedy.
The 70-year-old later tweeted:
Talked 2friends from UK Tonight.

Well thankfully Cher found the error in her ways and apologized for her oversight saying:

The Oscar winner continued by tweeting:
No Twts 2day,Cause,Wanted2 Think About Sensitivity.Meant No Disrespect,But That’s Not Enough. DOWN A FEW PEGS,IS OK#WalkAMileInTheirShoes
— Cher (@cher) June 30, 2016
That’s the brunette beauty we all know and love!
Not that we’d EVER want the Believe singer to stop tweeting, but we sure do think many will appreciate the apology.
What do you think of the insensitively tweet?!
