ERK sits with ARIANA GRANDE for her third Shut Up Evan appearance. So, the two waste no time with introductions. Ari dives into her journey with WICKED and Glinda—including thoughts on the press tour, her views on cringe culture and PTSD, her reconnection with music and upcoming ETERNAL SUNSHINE TOUR, her battle with monsters, her favorite DRAG RACE stars, and her role in THE FOCKERS-verse with “MR. DE NIRO!” It wouldn’t be a proper hang without friends of the pod, SARAH JESSICA PARKER, HAYLEY WILLIAMS, and JENNIFER COOLIDGE, taking over the mic for a few questions. But wait. There’s more. Stay tuned for PART TWO of the interview (November 28) unpacking Ari’s entire WICKED experience.
