Overview
- Grande said she and her team were asked to disembark when the plane required maintenance for a safety issue, with the flight not set to depart until 11:00 the next morning.
- She explained that her team and Universal searched overnight commercial routes and private options, but nothing could arrive in time and private travel required permissions that take time to secure.
- The São Paulo premiere is proceeding without her, with Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey and director Jon M. Chu confirmed to attend.
- Following a wave of online disappointment and criticism, Grande posted a plea asking fans not to wish harm to her or her team and said no one was more upset than she was.
- Universal’s promotional tour continues to other cities, and Wicked: Parte 2 remains scheduled to open in Brazil on November 20, 2025.
