"This interview has been edited and condensed. Hi, Tracy. Can you give us a little bit more context about that interview? This was on the Universal lot earlier this month, on Nov. 7. It was very Hollywood — there was a whole yellow, brick road and Munchkinland set up outside. Typically, you have a window of time where you go in to do your interviews. For this one, I was slated for three interviews: Cynthia and Ariana, Marissa Bode and Ethan Slater, and Jeff Goldblum and Jonathan Bailey. I had four minutes to ask two people questions. You have to get in there and really have a moment."
"I've seen this week people are taking the lyrics of 'Defying Gravity' and really holding space with that and feeling power in that. That's really powerful," Ms. Erivo said. As Ms. Grande sympathetically held onto her pointer finger, she added, "That's what I wanted." Whether it was the phrase holding space, the earnest and melodramatic reactions it elicited from Ms. Erivo and Ms. Grande, or the delicate finger-hold — or some combination of the three — the interview has spurred a range of reactions online.
