Cher may still be learning the proper etiquette when it comes to using emojis.
When the 70-year-old attempted to express her condolences to the victims of the horrific terrorist attack in Turkey's Ataturk airport on Tuesday, she opted to share the message on Twitter, saying: "We all pray for innocent ppl in turkey airport."
But the famed singer made the mistake of accompanying her touching tribute with a bomb and explosion emoji. Yikes!
