If Cher could, she would turn back time and rewrite a tribute tweet to the late Queen Elizabeth.
The sentiment was there but the 76-year-old singer-actress likely wishes she had her handy readers or was able to test Twitter’s edit button so she could quickly fix the emoji she picked to honour the late monarch.
“Am sad about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II,” she wrote. “I had (the) honour of meeting her. I was in (a) long line of people waiting to meet her.”
Cher continued: “Yet when she got to me, she asked me pertinent questions and seemed genuinely interested in talking to me.”
She ended the tweet with, “I’m proud she was a (bull emoj)] and happy she had a great sense of humour.”
Twitter had a minor meltdown over Cher’s emoji choice, wondering if she meant to use it or if she was referring to the Queen as a cow… or full of bull… or bull-headed.
However, most people believe Cher meant to grab the goat emoji, which admittedly does have the same colouring to the bull, and hope it was a blunder while describing the Queen as the “greatest of all time.”
One person wrote, “Cher casually calling (the Queen) a COW instead of a GOAT… There are tears in my eyes I CAN’T.”

Another asked, “What does the cow/bull symbol mean in this statement?”
A third person summed it up nicely: “It wouldn’t be a Cher tweet if there weren’t some small detail that made you go, ‘Huh?’”
Cher first met the Queen at the premiere of Steven Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun in 1988.
The Oscar winner also sang at the 2001 Royal Variety Performance.
She has yet to respond to the emoji gaffe… or explain why she chose the bull.
