Ava Max recalls 'terrifying' Miami experience: 'Just trying to live'

Ava Max, whose real name is Amanda Ava Koci, recently got candid and reminisced about experiencing a nightmare.

While conversing with Rolling Stone for an interview, the 32-year-old American singer-songwriter revealed that she was stuck in an elevator and fell five floors when she was on her Miami trip.

Max said, “I got stuck in an elevator in Miami at the Edition [hotel]. That was great. That was really crazy and scary. I fell down five floors.”

“Didn’t think I would sing ever again, but we survived,” she confessed, explaining the situation, “Elevators are actually pretty terrifying. And you find that out the hard way when you’re stuck in it and you fall down five floors.”

“I had my little coffee. I just left the beach. Had my hat on. Having a great chill day on a Miami vacation, and then boom, my hat flies, my coffee goes all over me. And I’m just like, ‘Am I in a nightmare?’ But you don’t really realize in the moment how crazy it is until after, because in the moment you’re just trying to live,” Max continued.

It is pertinent to mention that the Sweet but Psycho crooner did not let her fear win, as she has experienced other elevator rides; however, the incident still haunts her.

“Every time I get on an elevator now, I have a problem. I’m just like, ‘What is this? Let me just take stairs,’ which I did yesterday. It was like 10 floors,” Ava Max shared.
