Erivo surprised Grande’s London audience by joining her onstage during the concert, as seen in a clip shared by Pop Base on X. The pair performed “For Good,” the beloved “Wicked” anthem. The song held special meaning because both women had the title tattooed on their palms. Their performance gave fans another memorable moment from Grande’s tour.
The pair then performed another unexpected musical tribute together. Grande and Erivo recreated Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand’s famous 1963 medley. They performed “Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again” while sitting together onstage. Fans quickly captured videos of the emotional reunion.
Grande later shared one of the fan-recorded clips on her Instagram Stories. She tagged Erivo and added heart and infinity emojis to the post. The moment came during the final stretch of Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour. Grande was also preparing for a break from public-facing work.
The reunion revisited a partnership that shaped several years of both women’s careers. Grande and Erivo spent years working together on the two-part “Wicked” adaptation. The films eventually earned around $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office. Their friendship also became highly visible during the films’ promotional campaign.
However, their close friendship later became the subject of public speculation. Some observers questioned whether their bond continued after the “Wicked” promotion ended. Erivo previously pushed back against those suggestions during a July interview. She also revealed that she planned to attend Grande’s London concert.
Erivo had already defended their relationship before appearing alongside Grande. She said their relationship extended beyond their professional partnership. Erivo also revealed that she and Grande texted almost every day. Their London reunion appeared to reinforce that their connection remained strong.
Meanwhile, Grande was nearing the end of her Eternal Sunshine Tour. Her team previously confirmed she planned to step away from public-facing work. The break followed years of intense public scrutiny surrounding the singer. Her reunion with Erivo therefore carried added significance.
Grande and Erivo’s surprise appearance gave fans another glimpse of their friendship. Their performances also brought the “Wicked” era back into the spotlight. The pair appeared comfortable sharing the stage once again. Their reunion offered a memorable ending to Grande’s London show.
