Singer Ariana Grande \u201calmost died\u201d during the opening night of The Honeymoon Tour when she got trapped in a malfunctioning lift.\nThe 21-year-old chart-topper was performing at the opening night of her tour in Kansas City Wednesday evening when a wooden platform which was supposed to take her onto the stage, snapped, causing her to narrowly avoid getting \u201ccrushed\u201d, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
\nSpeaking in a video update on her YouTube channel titled \u2018That time I almost died during love me harder (but actually this time)\u2019, she explained: \u201cI almost died. I can\u2019t stop thinking about this, because it was literally the craziest. So the wooden thing breaks and goes like this.\u201d The 22-year-old star, who is dating rapper Big Sean, then gestured how the panel had snapped from a horizontal to a vertical position, and went on to explain the terrifying moments which followed, during which she clung onto a beam until she was saved by crew members.
\n\u201cI\u2019m about to be crushed by mechanical, by metal s**t and by wood and stuff, and I go like this and grab this thing,\u201d she continued.
\nHowever, the near-death experience, which happened during a performance of her single \u201cLove me harder\u201d, didn\u2019t faze her and she managed to continue singing the hit. She added: \u201cI didn\u2019t drop the mic. I was like, \u2018Oh I gotta keep singing\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
