Ariana Grande<\/a> and Cynthia Erivo<\/a> are once again going viral and sparking mixed reactions after their latest “Wicked”<\/a> press tour interview turned into a sentimental, meme-worthy moment. The co-stars, known for their emotional chemistry and dramatic flair during last year\u2019s promotional circuit, are being lovingly roasted online after describing each other\u2019s \u201cauras\u201d during the “Wicked: For Good” premiere in Paris. This newest exchange comes amid a string of viral interviews from the “Wicked” stars. Just last year, the pair discussed the highly anticipated film when Cynthia broke down in tears while explaining how wearing her character Elphaba\u2019s green makeup helped her feel more comfortable in her own skin. The emotional moment showed Ariana clutching Cynthia\u2019s hand as she teared up beside her friend, breathlessly assuring her of her beauty. The bizarre yet heartfelt clip, which quickly spread across X (formerly Twitter), went viral. Now, with their latest \u201caura\u201d interview making the rounds, it seems the internet\u2019s most theatrical friendship is back to steal the spotlight once more.<\/p>\n

The “Wicked” press tour continues to be full of charm, laughter, and a little bit of chaos, especially when Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo share the spotlight. During an interview with Elle magazine on Friday, the pair were asked to describe each other\u2019s \u201cauras,\u201d and the moment quickly went viral.<\/p>\n

Ariana was the first to answer, describing Cynthia\u2019s aura as \u201cyellow, like sunshine,\u201d before adding, \u201cI think there\u2019s also purple.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, Cynthia smiled and replied, \u201cI see, like a ciel blue, you know? Like aqua. And like, sunset-orange.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both actresses, who star as Glinda and Elphaba in the highly anticipated “Wicked” film adaptation, lit up at the question, practically gushing in unison.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve never been asked that,\u201d Ariana said enthusiastically.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a great question to ask!\u201d Cynthia added, echoing her co-star\u2019s excitement.<\/p>\n

The wholesome exchange, originally posted by Elle Germany on YouTube, quickly spread across social media, and fans wasted no time turning it into a talking point.<\/p>\n

Fans Can\u2019t Decide If It\u2019s Sweet Or Cringe<\/p>\n

The internet, of course, had opinions. While some fans melted over the duo\u2019s infectious energy, others found it a little too much, comparing it to last year\u2019s \u201ccringey\u201d press moments from their earlier “Wicked” promo run.<\/p>\n

One Reddit user joked, \u201cI can\u2019t go through this again,\u201d while another admitted, \u201cThey\u2019re sweet and all but this annoys tf out of me.\u201d A third wrote, “Why are they so cringe?”<\/p>\n

But not everyone agreed. The YouTube comments were filled with love for the pair\u2019s dynamic. \u201cI love how they bounce off each other and can talk about pretty much anything. That\u2019s a rare kinda friendship right there!!\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n

Another fan chimed in, \u201cTheir thrill from the question is so sweet,\u201d while a third joked, \u201cThey are both such nerds, I love it. They should make a podcast together fr.\u201d<\/p>\n

The magic of “Wicked” just keeps getting stronger. While attending the Paris stop of their “Wicked: For Good” press tour on November 7, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were caught completely off guard when they learned they\u2019d been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards, and their reactions were pure joy.<\/p>\n

The duo found out mid-interview that their show-stopping duet, \u201cDefying Gravity,\u201d earned a Best Pop Duo\/Group Performance nomination for the 68th Grammy Awards, airing February 2026 on CBS and Paramount+. In a now-viral video<\/a>, both women\u2019s faces lit up the moment the news broke.<\/p>\n

Cynthia gasped and covered her mouth in disbelief, while Ariana clasped her hands to her chest, visibly emotional as she turned toward her co-star. The pair then shared an ecstatic hug, with Ariana whispering, \u201cI can\u2019t believe this,\u201d as Cynthia beamed beside her.<\/p>\n

“Wicked: For Good” marks the next spellbinding chapter in the “Wicked” saga, serving as the sequel to 2024\u2019s blockbuster hit, and adapting the second act of the 2003 Broadway musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman. The story, like its stage predecessor, is loosely inspired by Gregory Maguire\u2019s 1995 novel, which reimagines the world of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” through a new lens, exploring the untold stories behind Oz\u2019s most iconic characters.<\/p>\n

“Wicked: For Good” picks up years after the events of the 2024 film, diving deeper into the fractured friendship between Elphaba Thropp and Glinda Upland. Now living as a fugitive, Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, continues her fight for animal rights and justice in a world that has turned against her.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Glinda, newly crowned Glinda the Good, has become a carefully watched public figure under the control of the Wizard and Madame Morrible, forced to navigate the delicate politics of power and perception in the Emerald City.<\/p>\n
