Ariana Grande said Tuesday that she is "heartbroken" to be missing the Brazilian premiere of Wicked: For Good.
According to a message posted to Instagram Stories, Grande had to deplane because of a safety issue and could not take off until tomorrow, "which means that I would not make it in time for the Wicked: For Good Sao Paulo premiere."
"I am so heartbroken that I'm unable to be there with you all," Grande wrote. "We sincerely tried everything we could and I apologize from the bottom of my heart."

The sequel to 2024's Wicked sees Grande become "Glinda the Good" and her co-star, Cynthia Arivo, is declared "The Wicked Witch of the West."In her apology for missing the Brazil premiere, Grande said she and her team searched flights -- overnight, connecting, early morning, commercial and private -- but could not find a way to get there in time.
In the case of taking a private flight, she noted that there would not be enough time to get the required permits to make it to the premiere.
In addition to the Wicked sequel, which hits theaters on Nov. 21, Grande was recently announced as part of the American Horror Story season 13 cast.
