Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo recently discussed a viral moment from their interview promoting "Wicked." The exchange became popular after a journalist mentioned fans were "holding space" for the song "Defying Gravity," leading to a confused but emotional response from both stars. In a new feature, Erivo expressed surprise at the comment, admitting she didn't fully understand it. Grande echoed this sentiment, saying she felt a strong connection to the moment despite not grasping its meaning at first.
