Ariana Grandeis looking back on one of her biggest wardrobe malfunctions.

During a round of “Never Have I Ever” withWickedcostars Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey, the singer and actress, 31, recalled the moment her bra became unclasped mid-performance. “Never have I ever had a costume mishap,” Grande said during thevideofor BritishVogue, published on Friday, Nov. 22. She quickly held up a paddle declaring “I have” before recounting the incident.

“My bra came open one time on stage,” she said.

“Oh my god, yes,” Erivo, 37, exclaimed in reply. “You didn’t even feel the breeze, it was just there.”

“It just fell,” Grande continued, “to the ground.”

After the clasp pops open, one of the singer’s backup dancers attempts to fix it but isn’t able to. Eventually, Grande resorts to holding it in place for the remainder of the song.

Grande has been making headlines throughout theWickedpress tour, particularly during her interview moments with Erivo. In a video with Out.com posted to the outlet’sInstagramon Tuesday, Nov. 19, the costars were informed that several queer fans on social media were “taking the lyrics of ‘Defying Gravity’ and really holding space with that and feeling power in that.”

Erivo, who playsElphabain the movie, responded: “I didn’t know that was happening. That’s really powerful. That’s what I wanted.”

“I think that it’s really important for [Elphaba] in that moment to not allow the things that have hurt her, that have stripped her of her humanity, to keep her down,” the star continued, referring to her character’s powerful musical number.
