Ariana Grande expressed her confusion during the interview about the 'holding space for the lyrics of 'Defying Gravity'' meme, saying, 'I didn't know what any part of it meant.' Grande reflected on her desire to understand the context of the interview with Cynthia Erivo, realizing how lost she was. She continued, 'I was like, 'Oh, what did she say? What did you hear?' I was just confused about how to be present in that moment.'
Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba in Wicked, echoed Grande's feelings of confusion during the interview, stating, 'After a while, I didn't know how to be there.' Their shared bewilderment illustrates that even those involved in the production can find themselves puzzled by the reactions and interpretations surrounding their work. Erivo also mentioned her enjoyment of the phrase 'holding space', remarking, 'I love that it's become vernacular now.'
