Fans of Ariana Grande are praising the Wicked star for how she handled an awkward red carpet interview with Shrinking star Jessica Williams. Viral footage from the Critics Choice Awards red carpet began circulating via social media on Monday, January 5, showing Williams, 36, speaking with a reporter. The situation turned awkward when, seemingly in the middle of the interview, the reporter declared that Grande, 32, was on the carpet and invited her over to speak.
