Ariana Grande even scared herself when she first heard her violent line delivery of one “Popular” lyric in “Wicked.”

In a moment that has since gone viral on TikTok, Grande – as Glinda – sings, “Don’t make me laugh. They were…” to which Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba fills in the blank with, “Popular.”

“Right!” Glinda responds, with such aggressive force it caught fans of the song and film off guard. Turns out, it also took the actress by surprise when she heard it for herself.

“The first time I heard this was when I was listening to the live take from on set in the studio (before I had even seen the movie) and I scared myself,” Grande wrote in a Wednesday TikTok.
