Listen to Ariana Grande Sing ‘Popular’ & ‘Defying Gravity’ With Cynthia Erivo in New ‘Wicked’ Trailer
Ariana Grande sings "Popular" in the new 'Wicked' trailer, as well as "Defying Gravity" with costar Cynthia Erivo. Watch the clip.
Grande’s bubbly rendition of “Popular” then plays over scenes of the “Yes, And?” singer — dressed in several different pink costumes — meeting Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba for the first time and swinging from a chandelier in their shared dormitory at Shiz University. The two characters then hold hands as they travel to the Emerald City together and meet Jeff Goldblum’s Wizard of Oz, during which the music in the trailer gradually shifts into Grande and the Harriet star’s voices harmonizing on “Defying Gravity.” Leading up to the trailer’s arrival, Universal Pictures released behind-the-scenes footage from the films’ 2023 shoot in the U.K., plus clips of Erivo and Grande reacting to the news that they had been cast as the project’s stars.
