Ariana Grande closed the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday by winning her third trophy, but after taking the stage to pronounce her acceptance speech, she was almost frustrated by the microphone support, which the little singer could barely reach.

“Is this higher every time?” Great joked on the podium. “Is this intentional?”

The 32 -year -old diva had just won the music video category of the year for its song “Bright Day Aheet”, beating talented companions, including Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish, but realized only after reaching the stage he literally had to talk above.

“I’m going to do this very fast, because I took too much time with the last one,” however, Grande, whom he joined the stage on stage, continued the director of the music video. “I want to start again with my fans, thank you very much, so, so much. I love you with all my heart, I have done it since I was a teenager, since we first crossed.”

“And I will do it throughout my life,” added great.

However, users of social networks focused mainly on the microphone, which has given it problems before.

“Can you really lower the microphone for them?” An X user wrote about the moment, while another user intervened: “They had their tiptoe shirt!”

Great finally advanced as the professional who is, but after praising the virtues of art and thanking his fans for his support, the singer could not avoid commenting on the microphone post for the second time, to the audible laugh of the crowd.

“I mean, this is ridiculous,” he joked.

Grande commented on the microphone position not one, but twice, during his speech.

With luck, its multiple victories throughout the ceremony compensated the SNAFU. Grande won three awards on Sunday, including the best video in Long and the best pop, and concluded his acceptance speech for that last award with a viral blow.

She said at that time: “And thanks to my therapist and gay people, I love you!”

OK. MTV needs to improve microphone placement.
