The pop star and her team are reportedly deeply concerned about security, as most of Grande’s fan base is made up of teens and young people. Manager Scooter Braun said in a statement, “We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act,” adding, “We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all those affected in your hearts and prayers.”
