Ariana Grande Gets Phone Thrown at Her During iHeartRadio Theater Gig [WATCH]

On All Hallow's Eve, Ariana Grande endured quite a trick on the Honda Stage during her concert at Los Angeles' iHeartRadio Theater. The 22-year-old singer took the opportunity to debut her first performance of "Focus," her latest single, just one day trailing its release. When Grande sat down for a Q&A with the audience ahead of the show, one fan tossed their phone right at her.

Managing to avoid injuries, the "Problem" singer handled the situation like a true professional. "Did someone throw a phone at me?" she asked the audience. "Did someone just throw a phone on stage? That's so dangerous. What if your screen cracked?" The phone was then uncovered on stage with zero cracks to be found. "Whose is this? Is this yours" Grande asked as she held the phone. "Be careful. Take your phone back."

The "Love Me Harder" singer, who showcased a stitched-mouth face paint look for the spooky holiday, further admitted in the Q&A that Django actor Jamie Foxx was the mysterious voice in "Focus," Entertainment Weekly notes. Twilight's own Taylor Lautner was even spotted in the Los Angeles crowd attending the show with a friend.

"[The song] sounds like 'Problem's older sister," she explained to her fans, alluding to her 2014 smash hit. The latest track will be featured on her 2016, third studio album, Moonlight, which has yet to solidify a release date. Moonlight trails her debut album Yours Truly and sophomore album My Everything.

"I've been feeling a lot more empowered, and grown up, and independent. I think that's part of the reason I didn't want to make a pissed-off break-up song. I was not focused on that," she said. "Everything is nice and great right now. Why would I write about some bullsh*t? I'd rather write about some really lovely things that are going on," Grande told V Magazine of her forthcoming album.
