Pop superstar Ariana Grande showed how to handle a live crisis. She was playing her final Sunday show in Brooklyn. This was a major stop on her Eternal Sunshine Tour. Everything was perfectly fine at the Barclays Center initially. She had just finished singing “Twilight Zone” and “Past Life.” But suddenly, the stage mechanics stopped working. The crew needed time to fix the unexpected problem. Fans waited anxiously. Nevertheless, she did not let this ruin the vibe. She quickly took charge.
Grande scanned the massive crowd for some fun ideas. She locked eyes with a fan who shouted a request. They wanted to hear “Be Alright” from her 2016 album. That record is still a massive favorite today. She excitedly agreed to sing the old hit song. Without backing tracks, she dove into the opening lyrics. She nailed the a cappella performance on the spot. During the chorus, she pointed the microphone at her loyal fans. After all, they know every lyric.
Glitches Become Magical Moments
The star literally laughed off the brief delay. She told the crowd she loved these little mishaps. She explained it meant they got to spend more time together. Her crew finally fixed the stage issue a minute later. So, she calmly transitioned right back into her planned setlist. Fittingly, the next track was “Dangerous Woman.” Still, fans could not stop talking about that sweet break. Ariana Grande finished the New York show flawlessly. She later posted a very emotional update on Instagram.
This was not her first tech issue at Barclays. She experienced a similar funny snafu earlier in the week. During her July show, her vocal loop machine unexpectedly broke. The audio cut out while she sang “Eternal Sunshine.” The crowd stepped in to help her out immediately. They loudly sang the background vocals so she could continue. Even during this Sunday show, the stage lights acted kinda weird. On the contrary, these small errors just made the epic pop shows better.
Remaining Dates And Updates
The long setlist featured her huge global pop hits. Besides the throwback, she played her biggest chart anthems. Fans went wild for tracks like “Thank U, Next” tonight. She even tweaked a lyric to hint at some personal news. People think she might be dating Ricky Alvarez again. She also performed hits like “We Can’t Be Friends.” Toward the end, she gave fans a massive cool new treat. Regardless, she performed her awesome upcoming lead single from the new album, Petal.
The famous Wicked actress is halfway through her massive tour. This worldwide trek first kicked off back in June. She started the journey in Oakland before heading east. Now, she is preparing to visit several other major cities. She will very soon play massive shows in Boston and Montreal. Chicago is also on the schedule for later this summer. Eventually, the superstar will head overseas for the final leg. Nonetheless, she plans to close out the tour with ten London shows.
