Overview
- Grande said she and her team deplaned when maintenance was required for a safety issue and the aircraft could not depart until the next morning, making the event unreachable.
- She wrote that her team and Universal exhausted commercial, connecting, overnight and private options but found no route that would arrive in time.
- A private flight was not feasible because a necessary permit from her location would take too long to secure.
- Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey attended with director Jon M. Chu in São Paulo despite Grande’s absence.
- The press tour continues with premieres in Paris on Nov. 7, London on Nov. 10 and Singapore on Nov. 13 ahead of the Nov. 21 theatrical release.
