Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s friendship is alive and well, thank you very much! At least, that’s what Cynthia seemingly just confirmed in a recent interview with Dazed during Paris Fashion Week.
She caught up with the publication during the Balenciaga Couture Autumn/Winter 2026 fashion show on Wednesday, July 8, where she all but confirmed a reunion with her Wicked co-star is coming soon.
When asked about her favorite song on Ari’s upcoming album petal, Cynthia responded, “I’m still at ‘Hampstead’ Heath from the previous album, because that’s my favorite, but I’m going to surprise myself because I want to go to the concert.”
She then revealed that she’s actually pulling up to one of Ariana’s Eternal Sunshine Tour stops in the U.K. next month, adding, “Well, she knows, so I’m coming…I’m going to get back to London in August.”
Her update comes after reports that the pair of powerhouse vocalists “barely speak” to each other, even though they were pretty much attached at the hip during the Wicked press tour in 2024 and 2025. (Or, should I say, by the finger?)
A few weeks ago, a source told The Sun that Ari and Cynthia’s friendship took a hit after they spent a ton of time together promoting the Oscar-nominated movies.
“The whole Wicked press tour became way bigger than anyone expected, it stopped being just promo and turned into this massive online obsession with their friendship,” the insider said, adding, “They were constantly together, constantly praising each other, and it created this idea that they were inseparable in real life as well as on screen.”
“The reaction online got so intense for them both, like every little moment was clipped, analysed and turned into memes, which eventually became quite overwhelming,” they continued.
Per Cynthia’s sweet sentiment, it seems our Glinda and Elphie are still holding space for each other. So…nothing to see here!
