Ariana Grande wears many hats: pop star, beauty mogul, and, most recently, Glinda in the movies Wicked and Wicked: For Good. But she wore one of her most fun hats back in 2021, when she appeared as a Coach on The Voice Season 21 alongside veteran Coaches Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Blake Shelton.

The pop superstar reinvented herself in the first “Wicked,” but the sequel shows just how much further she can go as an actress.

Wicked fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the upcoming Wicked: For Good movie, and part of the charm of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s tour is the pink and green

Ariana Grande walked the red carpet in Paris to debut "Wicked: For Good" after missing the world premiere in Brazil due to flight issues.

The partnership between Wicked and the Olympics marks a full-circle moment, as both Erivo and Grande attended the Summer Games in 2024 as part of their mammoth press cycle for the first film. Universal Pictures also arranged for the real-life Emerald City train from the movies to stop through Paris in honor of the event.

After Wicked, Grande has a few other things lined up that will also help her shed her Glinda persona. She’s going to be in Focker-In-Law with Ben Stiller, and she’s going on her Eternal Sunshine tour over the summer of 2026 from June to September.

Grande filmed both Wicked and its sequel Wicked: For Good back-to-back, taking on the role of Glinda the Good Witch of the North in Chu’s ambitious adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical. And according to Chu, it was precisely the turbulence of Grande’s off-screen life that gave her on-screen performance its unexpected depth.
