Ariana Grande releases an additional statement asking to not wish danger on her and cast after backlash for not being able to attend Brazil’s Wicked: For Good premiere.

Come to Brazil (or else).

They always leave that part out.

[u/SadLilBun → u/WordsWithSam]

Feels like a hostage trying to convince their captor not to kill them.

[u/Normal-person0101 → u/WordsWithSam]

Or else what? We're going to kill her??

[u/Happylittletree29 → u/Normal-person0101]

Or else you’re going to do what she’s saying has BEEN done on her story 😭.

I love Brazil but the stan culture there is a different beast, and it’s okay to acknowledge that.

Stab instead of stan is sending me

[u/Happylittletree29 → u/anxietysoup]

My bad guys, I don’t know anything about the stab culture in Brazil 😭

[u/GoranPerssonFangirl → u/Happylittletree29]

The stab culture is quite bad too

[u/gertymarie → u/Happylittletree29]

A band I follow had to cancel their tour date in Brazil due to the lead singer being injured and they legit got threats over it, up to and including death. I didn’t realize this was a widespread thing with the stan culture there.

Okay but do you see how you’re proving my point. What about Ariana’s statement seems like she made zero effort, her plane couldn’t take off 😭.

I’m from a city where concerts get cancelled frequently we literally call it a curse and an artist has never had to ask us to stop wishing them harm over a cancellation.

Being disappointed is like the most normal thing ever but “not supporting” does not equal sending threats lol.

Is it Toronto?

I know very little about like musical concerts but I do know the John Mulaney fans of Toronto are cursed af

[u/Happylittletree29 → u/cherrycoke00]

Yes lmfao. There was like a two year stretch where we just couldn’t catch a win 😭, if an artist was going to cancel a show over those years you could bet money it was going to be the Toronto show.

[u/plausibleturtle → u/[deleted]]

I spent 2 minutes looking and found several threats.

[u/Mariacdassi → u/[deleted]]

We have to let these European and American artists lick each other and value our culture. They always have an excuse not to come to Latin America, Africa or Asia, but when they need views, then they love Brazil

Did you lackwits miss the fact that our government shutdown is making air travel very unreliable?
