Flight issues are not fun, and in this world, there are too many of them in this world. We hate that they happen, and to be honest, they are happening more and more. Unfortunately, Ariana Grande is a victim of flight issues.
“Brazil, I can’t believe this is happening, and I am beyond devastated to be sending this message,” she wrote on her Instagram stories.
Ariana then continued, “A few hours ago, my team and I had to deplane our flight, as they had to do maintenance on the plane due to a safety issue and it will not be taking off until 11am tomorrow which means that I would not be making it in time for the Wicked For Good Sao Paulo premiere.”
“My team and Universal have tried every single thing possible to fix this, we’ve searched every other flight, overnight, early morning, connecting flights, commercial and also private options and absolutely nothing was available or possible that would get us there in time, even in attempting a private option, there is a permit necessary in order to fly from here that takes time to attain,” Ariana continued.
“I am so heartbroken that I’m unable to be there with you all. We sincerely tried everything we could and I apologize from the bottom of my heart,” she added, “Please shower my incredible castmates with all of the love that I wish I could be showering you with and have the most beautiful celebration. And again, I am so, so very sorry.”
Our heart breaks for Ariana because we know how important her fans, co-stars, and Wicked is to her. Sending good vibes, but some people are really being RUDE about it.
So Ariana had to take to social media to put out another statement, because people were talking a lot of really mean things.
She said on her Instagram story, “Please don’t wish danger on us. We did everything we could and I promise you no one is more upset than I am. I promise no matter how upset or disappointed you are, please please do not wish danger on us or assume that we didn’t try. There was no other time for me to leave and these plans have been booked for months. I wrapped another film on the 31st and I worked all day the 1st and the 2nd as well, just the same as Jonny, Cyn and Jon have been working, we all were scheduled to leave the same day. It just so happened that this plane had a safety problem and I have explained why finding another option was impossible. I have been looking forward to this moment for a year, so please know how disappointed i am. Sending lots of love to you all. I hope it’s a beautiful and safe night. I love Brazil, I always have, I always will.”
We hope that people stop being cruel. Life happens, and it’s nothing personal.
