Ariana Grande was the victim of a stage invasion on Tuesday night (28.02.17).
The ‘Break Free’ singer’s fan gave her more love than she bargained for during the Philadelphia leg of her ‘Dangerous Woman’ tour when he surprised her by rushing onto the stage at the Wells Fargo Center.
In video footage that has emerged online, Ariana is kneeling at the front of the stage singing her ballad ‘Moonlight’ and surrounded by faux smoke when the man creeps up behind her and nervously tries to get her attention.
Security guards are then seen storming the stage and attempt to grab the intruder before he dodges them and runs out of shot and Ariana pauses before reaching towards him, saying: "Hey, chill out!"
It’s not clear whether she was referring to the stage invader or security guards but within moments, the seasoned professional resumes her song.
Ariana took to Instagram following the show to "thank" her Philly fans and made no mention of the incident, sharing a sultry snap – which has received 950,000 likes – of her on stage with a lit moon behind her.
Ariana will next take to the stage on Friday (04.03.17) in Boston, a show she will be hoping is incident-free.
Meanwhile, Ariana recently said she takes inspiration from the Queen of Pop Madonna and says she admires the 57-year-old icon for the "bravery and strength" she has shown throughout her entire career.
The 23-year-old star said: "I have the utmost respect for that woman. I love her with every ounce of my being, and not just because I’m obsessed with her entire discography.
"I’m so inspired by her bravery and her strength. I can look at her and not be scared to be strong."
