Ariana Grande decries threats after missing 'Wicked: For Good" Brazil premiere

"Please don't wish danger on us", Grande pleaded after announcing her absence at the premiere due to flight issues

Ariana Grande apologized to fans after revealing that she will miss the highly anticipated Brazil premiere of Wicked: For Good due to flight complications.

Soon after her initial announcement, however, the actress who plays Glinda in the Oscar-winning franchise shared a plea with fans, asking, "Please don't wish danger on us."

"We did everything we could and I promise you no one is more upset than I am," the singer said in a now-deleted post on Instagram Stories. "No matter how upset or disappointed you are, please please do not wish danger on us or assume that we didn't try."

Adding that she'd been "looking forward to this moment for a year," Ariana concluded, "I hope it's a beautiful and safe night. I love Brazil, I always have, I always will."

Earlier Grande expressed her devastation at being unable to join co-stars Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, and more at the Wicked: For Good world premiere in São Paulo on November 4.

“I can’t believe this is happening and I am beyond devastated to be sending this message,” Grande wrote, explaining that her team had to deplane when their aircraft required urgent maintenance. “It will not be taking off until 11 a.m. tomorrow, which means I would not make it in time for the Wicked: For Good São Paulo premiere.”

Grande emphasized that she and her team, along with Universal Pictures, explored every possible solution, including commercial and private flight options, but nothing could get them to Brazil in time.

“We sincerely tried everything we could, and I apologize from the bottom of my heart,” she added.

The Grammy-winning star also urged fans to “shower my incredible castmates with all the love I wish I could be showering you with.”
