Imagine going for a drive, listening toAriana Grande, looking out the window, seeing the singer herself and miraculouslynotcrashing the car.

Grande recently shared an Instagram Stories video of herself riding in the backseat of a car and overhearing a fan listening to her song “Imagine,” before chatting with the stunned driver and even briefly singing along.

“What’s your name? Edwin, nice to meet you,” said theWickedstar in the clip, which has beenshared to social mediasince its expiration. “I was like, ‘How is this real? Is that me?’ This made my day!”

“Oh my god, I adore you,” replied the fan, who expressed, “I can’t believe… I’m this close to you!”

Edwin also shared a video ofhis perspective of the moment, which showed Grande singing along to “Imagine” with the window down before they briefly chatted.

“Imagine” was released in December 2018 as a promotional single from Grande’s 2019Thank U, Nextalbum. The track reached No. 21 on theBillboardHot 100.

The Grammy winner is currently promoting her role as Galinda/Glinda in the upcomingWickedfilm adaptation. Last week, the officialWickedInstagram accountteased her version of the song “Popular"in a video featuring lyrics and clips from the movie.

However, Grande then called out the account for apparently sharing an incorrect lyric.

In the video, Galinda/Glinda sings the song to costarCynthia Erivoas Elphaba, and the lyrics read: “Popular, you’re gonna be popular / I’ll teach you the proper poise when you talk to boys / Little ways to flirt and flounce, ooh!”
