Have you even been to a gig, got your phone out to record a song, and just missed the very beginning? Well, if you were at a recent Ariana Grande gig then that wouldn't have mattered as the 'No Tears Left To Cry' singer decided to STOP her performance mid-song, after hearing a fan shout "Start again, I wasn't recording!".

The singer had just started to sing an a cappella version of 'Raindrops', when the fan asked her to wait, and she obliged! Turning toward the fan who shouted, she said, "Did you just say 'Start again, I wasn't recording?'" Ariana continued, "Someone said, 'Start again, I wasn't recording!', I listen, I listen!". After a short pause she then asks her fans if they're ready, before continuing with her song, which is featured on her new album 'Sweetener'.

Since her concert, fans have been quick to post the video online and it has attracted a lot of attention with many leaving comments such as, 'I love her that's so funny😂😂😂😂😂', 'I wish I was that fan 😂😂😂' and 'Omg. Cutest people ever. She is so kind for her fans. Ariana we love you 😘😘😘😘'. sic

WATCH: Ariana Grande's transformation from teenage TV star to worldwide pop sensation in the video below:

Earlier this month, Ariana starred in an episode of the infamous feature Carpool Karaoke on The Late Late Show with James Corden. During the feature Ariana belted out many of her songs including, 'Side To Side' and talked about all sorts of things, including Ariana's unusual 2nd birthday party theme and THAT photo of her being carried by her tour manager.

Check out the BEST of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke:

Chris Martin

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin joined James without the rest of the band for a sing-a-long.


James gave Chris a lift to the 2016 Superbowl and on route performed hits like 'Paradise' and 'Hymm For The Weekend', with Chris even bringing along a keyboard!

Adele

Filmed when James returned back to the UK for Christmas, the pair belt out some of Adele's classics including 'Hello' and 'Someone Like You'.


Whilst having a chat about Adele's fellow celebrities, the pair burst out into Spice Girls song 'Wannabe' and even rap to Nicki Minaj!

Ed Sheeran

Perhaps the most anticipated Carpool ever! After his year long break from music Ed Sheeran returned with a bang!


Bringing his guitar into the car, Ed and James performed the likes of 'Shape Of You', 'Castle On The Hill' and 'Sing' and then Ed tried to fit A LOT of Malteasers into his mouth!

One Direction

Harry, Niall, Liam and Louis joined James before they started their hiatus and to date it's one of our favourites!


The boys discussed life in the band and had perfect harmonies with James to some of their biggest songs.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry joined James' Carpool earlier this year and she didn't hold back discussing her beef with Taylor Swift!


James also asked Katy about her ever-changing appearance before having a sing-a-long to her catchy hits.

Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars dressed to impress for his episode of Carpool!


The 'Uptown Funk' singer showed he's still got the moves even when he's sitting down when himself and James belted out some of his biggest hits.

Lady Gaga

It wouldn't be Lady Gaga if she didn't show up wearing a totally unique outfit and that's exactly what happened during her Carpool episode!


With James dressing up in some of Lady Gaga's most iconic outfits, the pair belted out hits such as 'Bad Romance' and 'Just Dance'.

Justin Bieber

Justin starred in James' Carpool right after the GRAMMY Awards.


Biebs applied moisturiser to James' face before they belted out 'Uptown Funk' and discussed the biggest moments from the Awards.

Harry Styles

Just after launching his solo career, former One Direction star Harry Styles joined his mate James for a sing-a-long.


James dressed up in some of Harry's most iconic outfits and hit the high notes in Harry's debut solo song 'Sign Of The Times'.

Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas

Best friends Demi and Nick joined James back in June 2016 and they certainly didn't disappoint.


As well as singing hits such as 'Jealous', 'Close' and 'Heart Attack', the pair discussed who's dating who and even got out of the car to make a couple of dollars busking.

Michelle Obama and Missy Elliott

In perhaps the funniest Carpool ever, James visited the White House to pick up Michelle Obama for a special Carpool.


Singing some of Michelle's favourite songs, even rapper Missy Elliott made an appearance!

Take That

Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald of Take That joined James for a chariy special Carpool last year!


Taking part to raise money for Red Nose Day, the band performed some of their new and old hits including 'Relight My Fire' and 'Shine'.

Usher

King of cool Usher certainly had a busy time during his episode of Carpool.


As well as singing and dancing, the pair went for a walk on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and even had to push a broken down car at one point!

Sia

Sia just about fit in James' car with her stunning wig and bow combo.


Showing off her amazing vocals, the singer belted out her hits including 'Chandelier', 'Cheap Thrills' and 'Alive'.


James even had his own Sia inspired wig!

Selena Gomez

When Selena Gomez joined James for Carpool the pair had A LOT of fun!


Not only did they leave the car to belt out tracks whilst on a rollercoaster, the pair also went through a McDonald's drive-thru where James insisted on having a cup with Selena's lyrics on!

Britney Spears

Britney pays homage to her 90's track 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' and the pair dressed up as school girls for a duration of the drive.


Belting out Britney classics including 'Toxic' and 'Womanizer', the pair had a lot of fun!

Jennifer Lopez

When 'Jenny From The Block' joined James it was always going to be something special!


In between singing J.Lo's biggest hits, Jennifer spilled the beans on how many times she's been proposed to, and James sent THAT text to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Ariana Grande

Pop princess Ariana Grande joined James on the show in August 2018, with the pair belting out hits such as 'No Tears Left To Cry', 'Side To Side' and even a Celine Dion classic!

Ariana's Carpool Karaoke comes just a few days after James and Ariana showed off their singing talents performing 13 songs, on nine sets acting out iconic scenes from Titanic. The pair covered songs, from Lady Gaga to Pitbull, *NSYNC to Celine Dion (obviously) and did it all in just ONE take. Very impressive!

In other Ariana news, she has recently revealed when she will marry her fiancé Pete Davidson. The singer told Good Morning America, "People are always like, ‘When you know, you know,’ and you’re like, 'Oh, yeah, whatever. Ok'.

"But you just feel it. He ticks every box and gets better every day. I’m very grateful for him. Life is beautiful. I’m enjoying every minute because life’s too short."

She added that she and Pete were thinking of tying the knot in 2019, saying, "We’ve been planning and my friends and I, my mum and everybody, have been brainstorming and sharing ideas and stuff. And it’s really fun.

"I work so much that I’ve never spent this much time or energy planning something personal that feeds my soul so much and my heart," adding, "I’m so excited. It’s sick. It’s really fun. But no, it’s not soon, soon. It’s gonna be, like, next year."
