After the backlash over tweet above, the 70-year-old singer -- who's known for her all-caps and emoji-filled tweets -- opted for the broken heart and crying face emoji in her apology, calling her previous tweet "poorly placed" and "insensitively timed."

She went on to say that she often uses emoji to help her "say more than 140 letters."
