Ariana Grande Has Near-Miss With Reversing SUV In Frightening Paris Video

Ariana Grande had a frightening near-miss in Paris when a reversing SUV came inches from hitting her outside a "Wicked" screening.

The incident has left fans furious, with many taking to social media to voice their concerns, even though the singer remained composed during the incident.

Days earlier, Ariana Grande missed the São Paulo premiere of the movie due to flight delays despite exploring every travel option.

Ariana Grande had a frightening scare in Paris when she narrowly avoided being struck by a vehicle while leaving a screening of "Wicked."

The 32-year-old singer was crossing the street to greet fans when a large black SUV began reversing dangerously close to her.

In the shocking footage, Grande appears visibly startled as the car inches toward her, stopping mere inches from her body.

She instinctively raised her hand in defense before stepping back and covering her mouth in shock.

The clip of Grande almost getting hit by a car quickly went viral after being shared on X, with fans expressing concern for the pop star's safety.

"This is scary," one wrote, while another commented, "Thank God she's okay."

Many called for stricter security measures, with one fan urging, "Protect her at all costs!" and another remarking, "Paris is so dangerous—please stay safe!"

"WHY WERE HER BODYGUARDS NOT RIGHT THERE?" a fourth asked.

Despite the scare, Grande looked radiant at the Paris Opera, where the event took place on Friday evening.

She wore a sleek black gown adorned with pink floral accents, complemented by a black coat with a colorful lining.

The star let the coat drape over her shoulders, showcasing her figure, and styled her hair in a chic bun, paired with glamorous makeup and pointed heels.

While co-star Cynthia Erivo was absent, Grande was joined by Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey, and director Jon M. Chu.

Later that evening, Grande changed into a light pink maxi dress and black heels for a private premiere of "Wicked: For Good." She completed the look with a long black coat as she stepped out of her cab, waving to fans and appearing in good spirits despite the earlier incident.

This comes just days after Grande missed the "Wicked" premiere in Brazil due to flight issues.

She had been scheduled to appear in São Paulo on Tuesday evening but was forced to cancel after her plane required maintenance, delaying its departure until the following morning.

Sharing her frustration on Instagram, the "Dangerous Woman" hitmaker explained that her team and Universal had exhausted every possible option.

"We've searched every other flight, overnight, early morning, connecting flights, commercial, and also private options, and absolutely nothing was available or possible that would get us there in time," she wrote. "Even in attempting a private option, there is a permit necessary in order to fly from here that takes time to attain."

Grande concluded with her disappointment, addressing her Brazilian fans directly, "Brazil, I can't believe this is happening, and I am beyond devastated to be sending this message."

Meanwhile, Grande recently unveiled a brand-new hair look, swapping her bleach-blonde style for a darker, natural shade for the first time since 2022.

On October 29, she shared an Instagram mirror selfie, which she playfully captioned, "It's good to see me, isn't it?"

Grande's hairdresser, Francesco de Chiara, also expressed excitement over the change. He reposted her photo to his Instagram Story with the simple caption, "Here she is," and added on Grande's original post, "We're back, amore."

Francesco further hinted at a fresh chapter for the singer, resharing a fan's reaction to Grande's brunette curls with the comment, "A new chapter has begun!"

For the "Victorious" alum, returning to her natural hair color seems to mark a transition away from her role as Glinda. She previously shared that going blonde was essential to portray the good witch in both "Wicked" and "Wicked: For Good."

"Even though I was wearing wigs, I needed to be blonde, too," she told Vogue in 2024, explaining that she even lightened her eyebrows to match the character's soft, ethereal look.

"It didn't make any sense when I had my dark brows," she added.
