Overview
- At the Paris premiere, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo described each other’s auras in an Elle interview, with Grande calling Erivo “yellow like sunshine” and “also purple,” and Erivo likening Grande to “ciel blue,” “aqua,” and “sunset-orange.”
- The clip spread widely on social media as Reddit threads alternated between teasing the pair and praising their chemistry, with some users joking about therapy-speak and others expressing fatigue.
- Commenters suggested the current publicity cycle feels more restrained than the previous year’s highly visible press run that some viewers found cringeworthy.
- Erivo separately said she has seen people discussing the lyrics of “Defying Gravity” and feeling empowered, calling that response “really powerful” and what she hoped for.
- Following the Paris moment, the co-stars continued the tour in London on Sunday, reuniting for an event where they greeted fans.
