Reports of an explosion in the foyer of the U.K. concert venue came around 10:35 p.m. local time Monday night (May 22) following Grande's show. Her rep assured Billboard the pop star was "okay" following the blast, but Greater Manchester Police quickly confirmed that there were fatalities and injuries at the scene.

In an early Tuesday morning press conference, police said the explosion is being treated as a likely "terrorist incident."
