Ariana Grande penned an emotional ode to her fans in the wake of the release of her latest film, Wicked: For Good. The 32-year-old singer shared a heartfelt note on her Instagram handle on Sunday, November 23rd, as her musical fantasy film soared to the top of the box office.
"My dear, fellow Ozians," Ariana began, "Oz has been my sanctuary since I can remember. The characters within these pages teach us to love unconditionally with our whole hearts; to laugh; to forgive (even when it's most painful); and to fiercely protect ourselves and each other."
She continued, "I fell in love with Wicked when I was just 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. Being asked to join this most wonderful group of human beings on a most creatively and emotionally fulfilling journey as Glinda the Good was the greatest gift of my life. I have learned more from my time with Glinda than anyone," the actress added.
She concluded, "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. There's no place like home. Your chosen Ozian family loves you exactly as you are, and I couldn't be more grateful that you exist. Love always, Ariana (Your Glinda)," she concluded.
For those who may not be familiar, Wicked: For Good was released in cinemas on November 21st, 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.
