Ariana Grande has a different idea of why Elphaba made Glinda’s pulse rush and face flush. Continuing the never-ending Wicked press cycle on the cover of Variety, Grande explained her theory that Glinda might be queer — and in love with Elphie. “I think she’s a person who loves so much, and I do think that it goes beyond gender, and I think that’s a common theme in Oz,” Grande said. “I also think the ways in which she loves Elphaba so much, and that forgiveness and that unconditional love that they share — I think they’re in love with each other.” Now that’s a big claim from someone who didn’t know what “holding space for ‘Defying Gravity’” meant, but we’ll go with it. Grande went on to admit their love was “platonic” but teased that they’ll “talk about it more in depth in movie two.” Talk? We want to see a kiss during “For Good”!
