Ariana Grande kept her composure after technical issues interrupted her concert at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Monday 13 July 2026.
The pop star experienced microphone problems during performances of “yes, and?” and “Eternal Sunshine”, but the brief disruption did little to derail the show as fans stepped in to sing along while her crew worked to resolve the issue.

And thank you for your patience.”
As she prepared to perform “Just Like Magic”, the singer checked in with the crowd to make sure everything was back to normal.
“Did you hear any of that?”
The audience responded enthusiastically, helping the show continue with minimal interruption.
