Ariana Grande has written an emotional letter to her fans following the release of her new film, Wicked: For Good.
The 32-year-old singer shared the lengthy note on her Instagram handle on Sunday, November 23, just as her musical fantasy film topped the box office.
“My sweet, fellow Ozians,” Ariana began. “Oz has been my safe space for as long as I can remember. The characters within these pages teach us how to love unconditionally with one’s whole heart; to laugh; to forgive (even when it’s most painful); to fiercely protect ourselves and each other."
She further wrote, “I fell in love with Wicked when I was ten years old. It has been an escape and a place where I knew I could find comfort and understanding throughout my childhood and adult life."
"Loving something dearly and becoming it are two very different things. Becoming your Glinda the Good and being asked to join this most wonderful group of human beings on a most creatively and emotionally fulfilling journey was the greatest gift of my life. I have learned more from my time with Glinda than anyone,” continued the actress.
She added, “Now, to see how it has moved and been there for you all in the same way that it has for me over the course of my life has been the most meaningful, moving, and cherished gift of all. You’ll never know what it truly means to me. I’m so thankful to have been a tiny piece of this bubble puzzle and to be your Glinda.”
“Before I go, please remember: whenever things get scary or you feel alone home is wherever and with whomever we want it to be, and there’s no place like home. Your chosen Ozian family loves you exactly as you are, and I couldn’t be thankfuller that you exist. Love always, Ariana (Your Glinda),” Ariana concluded.
For those unversed, Wicked: For Good was released in cinemas on November 21, 2025.
During its first weekend in theaters, the new musical adaptation grossed $150 million in North America and $226 million worldwide, making it one of the year's greatest openings.
