Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Explain Viral 'Holding Space' Moment
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, stars of the Wicked movie, have addressed the viral "holding space" meme from an on-camera interview with OUT magazine.During the conversation, journalist Tracy E. Gilchrist noted how LGBTQ+ fans resonate deeply with Wicked's anthem "Defying Gravity," and asked how the actors felt about people "really taking the lyrics of 'Defying Gravity' and really holding space with that and feeling power in that."When the reporter made the comment, Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the movie, emotionally responded, "That's really powerful," and "That's what I wanted."The clip gained traction online, and was celebrated for its awkward yet heartfelt vibe.
