Ariana Grande experienced a terrifying red carpet moment at the “Wicked: For Good” Singapore premiere.
A fan attending the premiere jumped over a barricade and rushed toward Grande, according to multiple videos from the event. Once he reached her, he put his arm around her neck before Grande’s co-star, Cynthia Erivo, immediately jumped in to pull him away.
Grande, Erivo, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum were walking the yellow carpet to celebrate the upcoming release of the second “Wicked” movie when the shocking moment happened.
The film is scheduled to hit theaters Nov. 21.

Grande has been vocal about experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following the 2017 Manchester bombing.
“Yeah, it’s a real thing,” she told British GQ about her lasting PTSD in 2018. “I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well.
“It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss. … I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience — like I shouldn’t even say anything,” she added. “I don’t think I’ll ever know how to talk about it and not cry.”
