Fans rushed into the streets upon realizing which car was transporting Selena Gomez and The Weeknd.

The Weeknd and Gomez were approaching the Lollapalooza venue when the mob in the street began to form.

The car following Gomez’s recorded the crowd in the streets.

I just want to know why fans think it’s okay to act like this. Was it your goal to put Selena and Abel in danger and make them crash?! We understand everyone wants to meet Selena but this is not safe for anyone. You are putting Selena, Abel, his team & yourselves in danger. When you are acting wild & crazy running in the streets and jumping on Selena’s car just imagine how scared she must feel. Let’s do better. Selena has stated she has anxiety & panic attacks and it’s a shame you guys would think it’s okay to mob her and jump on her car. Abel also has anxiety so it’s really just sad. Are they not human beings?! Do better. #selenagomez #theweeknd #abeltesfaye #abelena

Security guards were seen running up alongside the car and pushing people away from the car so that it could proceed along the road.

The car was stopped by the traffic caused by the mob of people, desperate to get a glimpse at the new celebrity couple.

Some fans were even shown attempting to get into the celebrities’ car, banging on the doors, windows, etc, according to Chron.

A few people even reportedly ended up on the ground in the middle of the street, although no series injuries were reported.

The craziness from their arrival did not distract The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, from the reason he was in Brazil— to put on an amazing show for the Lollapalooza music festival.

The Weeknd hit the stage with Selena Gomez nearby supporting him. The R&B singer made his grand headlining entrance to his hit single “Starboy.”
