Ariana Grande, who is Golden Globe-nominated for her role in Wicked, explained that some of the voice alterations she made for the film are likely to stay.

Earlier in the interview, Grande noted that she and costar Cynthia Erivo spent time “finding and disappearing” into their characters in order to properly bring them to life on

Grande fans were quick to point out her changing voice after she took on the role of Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked.

Ariana Grande’s Wicked performance has changed her for good. The actress, 31, revealed in Variety‘s January cover story that the old Hollywood qualities she picked up vocally for her role as Glinda the Good Witch may be a permanent change to the way she speaks.

Ariana Grande is addressing those theories surrounding her Wicked character, Glinda. Since the premiere of Wicked back in November 2024, many have taken to social media to theorize that Glinda might be a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Ariana Grande did so much vocal work for 'Wicked,' her voice has noticeably changed. And she's totally OK with it being a permanent thing.

Wicked actress and singer Ariana Grande has expanded on her comment about her character Glinda being “a little queer” after fans suggested the witch was “queer-coded”. Jon M. Chu’s movie adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked was released in theatres in November 2024 to glowing reviews.

Ariana Grande says there will be a larger conversation to be had about Glinda being queer after the release of Wicked: For Good. Wicked was released in United States theaters this past November. Directed by Jon M.
