During her first “Eternal Sunshine” tour stop at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Grande was onstage performing when her microphone suddenly cut out.
She calmly gestured towards one of her backstage team members as they worked to fix the issues. After finishing the song with the audience’s help, Grande showed excitement as the microphone started working again.
“Oh, it’s back now!” she declared. The Grammy winner then apologized to the audience. “It’s back now, so sorry.”
She then turned to the backstage crew and said, “Thank you so much!”
Continuing to praise her team, Grande stated, “Thank you to our amazing team who’s dealing with these technical difficulties. And thank you for your patience.”
“Okay, we’re back!” she said to the audience. “Should we continue?”
Some of her backstage crew members then walked onstage to readjust her sound equipment before she continued on with the show.
