From the day it began with the dazzling Sydney premiere, which saw Ariana Grande <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/ariana-grande-wicked-premiere-sydney\/\">recreate Billie Burke\u2019s original Glinda costume<\/a>, netizens have watched on as the pop sensation and her co-star, Broadway alumni <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/wicked-salaries-ariana-grande-cynthia-erivo\/\">Cynthia Erivo<\/a>, laughed, held hands and <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/ariana-grande-body-image-comments\/\">cried<\/a> throughout the entire promotional run.<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, their overly emotional response to journalist questions even pierced the veil of Hollywood, with <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/gladiator-ii-plot-cast-release-date\/\"><em>Gladiator II<\/em><\/a> actor <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/paul-mescal-gladiator-ii-sydney-premiere\/\">Paul Mescal<\/a> pointing out their incredibly heartfelt reactions in a sit-down discussion with the singer. \u201cI\u2019m watching you on the press tour, you\u2019re like in love with each other,\u201d the Irish heartthrob, who just made his hosting debut on <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/paul-mescal-saturday-night-live\/\"><em>Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/a>, said. Jokingly, the <em>Eternal Sunshine<\/em> songstress interrupted him and replied, \u201cInsufferable, yes\u201d. \u201cHorrible, it\u2019s bad,\u201d she continued with a laugh before admitting their teary answers are \u201cthe most annoying\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ariana Grande &amp; Paul Mescal | Actors on Actors\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wzc_SCRIB6M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One of the most perplexing encounters came towards the end of their interviews when one reporter wanted to discuss the show\u2019s concluding ballad. \u201cI\u2019ve seen this week people are taking the lyrics of \u201cDefying Gravity\u201d and really holding space with that and feeling power in that,\u201d said writer Tracey E. Gilchrist.<\/p>\n<p>The now-memed statement received a sincere but confusing answer from Erivo, as the performer put her hand over her chest and said, \u201cI didn\u2019t know that that was happening.\u201d Gilchrist then explained how she had \u201cseen it on a couple of posts\u201d and that she \u201cdidn\u2019t know how widespread\u201d it was, but that she had the authority to discuss the matter as she was in \u201cqueer media\u201d.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-video\"><video muted=\"1\" class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-98312-1\" width=\"720\" height=\"1280\" loop=\"1\" autoplay=\"1\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Wicked-Holding-Space.mp4?_=1\" \/><\/video><\/div>\n<p><em>Credit: Instagram\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/outmagazine\/reel\/DCkv9TgS0We\/\" target=\"_blank\">@OutMagazine<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Erivo, Grande and Wicked\u2019s director, Jon M.
