Ariana Grande Talks Donut Scandal, Teases New Single Announcement on 'GMA'

Grande's GMA interview kicked off by taking on a serious subject: donutgate, in which she licked a donut in a California bakery and declared that "I hate Americans." Grande, however, is owning up to the controversy, saying that she acted inexcusably.

"First of all, my behavior was very offensive and I apologized. There's no excuse, or there's nothing to justify it. But I think as human beings, we all say and do things that we don't mean at all sometimes," she said. "We have to learn for it. That's part of our process. We have to learn from our mistakes. That's how we grow."

Grande also noted that she learned what it feels like to disappoint people ("it's excruciating") and that she needs to be a role model for all her fans.

Of course, soon things took on a lighter turn when Grande promoted her fragrance with a massive bottle and described her marshmallow-filled scent. She also had some massive news for her fans: she's announcing her new single later this week.

"I'm announcing the first single really soon," Grande said laughing. "Like this week soon."

Grande's third album Moonlight has been rumored to be led by the single "Focus on Me," but fans will have to wait just a few more days to find out if that's true.

Ari by Ariana Grande, her fragrance, is in stores now.
