A bizarre moment from the Wicked press tour about 'holding space' with Defying Gravity is now a meme
There have been some noteworthy moments from the Wicked press tour involving stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, but there’s one that has taken over the internet.
Let’s set the scene! A reporter from Out.com told Erivo this: “I’ve seen this week, people are taking the lyrics of Defying Gravity and really holding space with that, and feeling power in that.”
Erivo got very emotional, saying she didn’t know that had happened and that it was extremely powerful. Grande then held her … finger.

I can't tell what my favorite part of this video is: the solemnity in announcing people have been "holding space" for the lyrics of a 20 year old song, Cynthia acting like she personally wrote it, Ariana holding onto Cynthia's index finger, or the reveal of "a couple of posts" https://t.co/eDDUNcvaRn
