Popsugar Celebrity Award Season Why Did Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson Run Off VMAs Carpet? Ariana and Pete Pulled a Bonnie and Clyde and Fled the VMAs Red Carpet 21 August 2018 by Kelsey Garcia Image Source: Getty / Mike Coppola Ah, to be young and in love. On Aug. 20, Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson attended the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards for their first red carpet appearance as an engaged couple. While the two stopped to take several sweet pictures, Ariana and Pete were photographed fleeing from the red carpet soon after — interrupting a shot of The Hills cast reunion in the process! Why did Ariana and Pete leave in such a hurry? While the 25-year-old pop star is performing her latest single "God Is a Woman," she wasn't set to open the award show. Once inside, Ariana and Pete slowed down their mad dash to take more pictures while looking lovingly into each other's eyes. And just like that, all was right again.
