Ariana Grande was ambushed by a fan on the red carpet at the Singapore premiere of "Wicked: For Good." A man ran towards Grande, putting his arm around her, before co-star Cynthia Erivo intervened by jumping in front of Grande to protect her. Security quickly removed the fan, leaving a visibly shaken Grande being comforted by Erivo. The fan was identified as a serial red carpet crasher known online as "Pyjama Man." He had previously accosted other celebrities and later posted on social media about the incident, claiming it was his "dream" to meet Grande. Grande's fans expressed anger and criticized the fan's actions, citing Grande's past trauma from the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. The incident occurred despite the fan's previous encounters with security and legal troubles for similar actions.
