Camila Cabello has praised Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo while sharing a cover from the hit musical.Grande stars as Glinda, the future Good Witch of the North, while Erivo plays green-skinned witch Elphaba in the new film – the first of a two-part adaptation of the hit stage musical.The Jon M Chu-directed movie, which also stars Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Peter Dinklage and Jeff Goldblum, hit cinemas last month and was predicted by experts to be the biggest film of the year.Although the musical failed to match the ‘Barbenheimer’ phenomenon at box office, it still fared extremely well – raking in $114million (£90.6million) domestically and $164.2million (£130.5million) globally for Universal Pictures on its debut, according to studio estimates.Critics were quick to praise the vocal performances of its two leads, with Nick Levine noting that “Erivo and Grande are both vocally extraordinary” in NME‘s four-star review of Wicked, adding that “crucially, they also have crackling chemistry punctuated by Erivo’s bursts of intensity and Grande’s slick comic timing”.Cabello has now joined the scores of fans praising their efforts, and over the weekend shared a black-and-white video singing the film’s signature ballad, ‘Defying Gravity’.“You were brilliant Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo,” she captioned an Instagram story, which has since recirculated on X/Twitter.

And none would be listening if my bum wasn’t involved.“This is a conversation about agency.
