Ariana Grande, the pop princess who has taken the world by storm, is about to sprinkle a bit of her magic on the big screen in the upcoming film adaptation of 'Wicked.' In a move that has left fans buzzing, Grande has chosen to credit herself as Ariana Grande-Butera, and it all comes from a deeply personal place. The Grammy-winning singer shared that she wanted to 'honour' her younger self who first fell in love with the enchanting story of 'Wicked' back in the day. Talk about a heartfelt homage!
Joining Grande in this star-studded musical is powerhouse Cynthia Erivo, known for her roles in 'Harriet' and 'The Color Purple', and handsome hunk Jonathan Bailey, popular from the hit series 'Bridgerton'. The trio is ready to take audiences on a magical journey through Oz that’s already creating a lot of anticipation. Grande stated during an interview, "I remember being a little girl and feeling so empowered by the storyline; it felt only right to include my birth name as a tribute to that little girl." How sweet is that?
In the lead-up to the movie's premiere, Grande has captured attention with her stunning fashion moments. We’re talking about a radiant pink Vivienne Westwood ballgown paired with over 100 carats of diamonds—no big deal! At a recent photocall event in Sydney, her quirky oversized glasses and OTT girlishness were turning heads faster than you can say, "Wicked!" Fans can’t help but gush over how she brings Glinda's character to life with her signature whimsical style.
This latest buzz around Ariana isn't just about her film role; it's interconnected with her blossoming love life too. Following plenty of public scrutiny, she made her romance with Ethan Slater Instagram official during the Sydney premiere. It seems like love is in the air, alongside all that Glinda magic! Landing multiple headlines and keeping it classy, Grande is not just a pop icon but also an embodiment of empowerment and nostalgia for her fans. With 'Wicked' set to enchant us all, there couldn’t be a better moment for Grande to reclaim her roots—and we can't wait to see more!
Did you know? The original Broadway production of 'Wicked' debuted in 2003 and has since won multiple Tony Awards, including Best Actress for its leading ladies! Also, Ariana Grande started her career in the Broadway musical '13', showing that she has always had a knack for the stage.

Keep your eyes peeled, New Zealand—we’re in for a spectacular show!
