Justin Bieber Rocks Ariana Grande’s Concert In Surprise Spot Despite Forgetting A Few Words

Published on: March 29, 2015 at 10:24 AM

Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s long awaited duet never saw the light of day.

Then, along came three.

That is, if you were at Miami’s American Airlines Arena on Saturday for the octave-scaling songstress’ Honeymoon Tour. Then you would have seen Justin surprise the crowd , when he joined Ariana onstage to sing The Weeknd’s Abel Tesfaye’s part on “Love Me Harder.”

The two 21-year-olds also partnered on Justin’s Believe album hit “As Long As You Love Me” and his Journals single, “All That Matters.” As a result, the hashtag “Justin e Ariana” trended on Twitter.

On Twitter, Rixton’s Lewi — the band supporting Ariana — tweeted about the delirious response to Justin’s guest turn-up.

Arianators and Beliebers were on high alert long before the Canadian and the Boca Raton singer hit the stage, after fans spotted Justin arriving at the American Airlines Arena for the soundcheck, and a snippet of Ariana rehearsing “All That Matters” surfaced online.

Shortly before the concert started, Justin tweeted , “U guys have been asking for this for a while. Get ready.”

At one point during the show, Justin told the crowd, “Can’t believe I’m back on stage. It’s been a while.” He also forgot some of the lyrics in “Love Me Harder,” which he apologized for, profusely, onstage.

But, from the sound of cheers on the night, no one cared.

Justin’s excited dancing in “Love Me Harder” was très cute.

The pair’s rendition of “As Long As You Love Me” also appeared to go down like a storm with the Miami crowd.

Ariana rapped her boyfriend, Big Sean’s, interlude in the Bieber classic.

The Biebs busted some familiar dance moves during the concert .

Justin and Ariana’s performance of “All That Matters” was also a crowd-pleaser.

At the end of the surprise, the two superstar pals hugged.

Both singers took to Twitter to thank each other, and Miami.

Scooter Braun (who manages both singers) also shared effusive tweets and photos after the show.

The Biebs hinted at more in a final tweet, which is — no doubt — referring to his expected guest appearance at the Ultra Music Festival to sing “Where Are Ü Now,” his collaboration with Jack Ü’s Skrillex and Diplo.

Meanwhile, a slew of pictures of the long-dreamed-about duet between Ariana and Justin are currently doing the rounds. Enjoy.

The “Baby I” singer looked amazing in a sparkly, white leotard dress and skycraper heels, while the Biebs kept it cool in an all black ensemble, after removing a white jacket when he arrived onstage.
