Fresh off from shattering records with Wicked: For Good, Ariana Grande is stepping out from behind the Emerald Curtain with a letter straight from the heart.

On Sunday, Nov. 23, the pop superstar took to Instagram to send love to her fans with a self-penned heartwarming letter, two days after the release of the romantic fantasy film's second half.

"My sweet, fellow Ozians. Oz has been my safe space for as long as I can remember. The characters within these pages teach us how to love unconditionally with one’s whole heart."

Ariana Grande — who left the viewers spellbound by her role as Glinda — went on to share the valuable lessons she'd learned from giving life to the most powerful sorceress in the Land of Oz.

"to laugh; to forgive (even when it’s most painful); to fiercely protect ourselves and each other (yes, sometimes even from each other); to look inward; to be curious and not afraid of acknowledging our own wickedness in order to grow away from it and toward goodness, because we all contain both; to see the beauty in all things; especially the unfamiliar; to be honest, because to be honest is to be kind; and to fight for what is truly, deeply good … even if it takes us a long, scary walk down the Yellow Brick Road to discoverate what that means for each of us."

Wicked: For Good, the sophomore sequel of the franchise, finally premiered on Nov. 21 in the U.S. The installment achieved an estimated $150 million from domestic ticket sales, making it the second-highest opening weekend for a movie in 2025, trailing A Minecraft Movie, which brought in $163 million back in April.

The sequel to Wicked also exceeded its predecessor's debut record of $112.5 million in the U.S. and Canada.

Wicked: For Good has also broken the record for the biggest opening weekend of a Broadway musical adaptation, and is predicted to reach $226 million haul with the addition of international ticket sales.


"Most meaningful, moving, and cherished gift of all": Ariana Grande reflects on playing Glinda in

Wicked

In her emotional letter, Ariana Grande confessed that she fell in love with Wicked when she was only ten, and eventually, it became a comfort for her even as she turned into an adult.

"It has been an escape and a place where I knew I could find comfort and understanding throughout my childhood and adult life. Loving something dearly and becoming it are two very different things. Becoming your Glinda the Good and being asked to join this most wonderful group of human beings on a most creatively and emotionally fulfilling journey was the greatest gift of my life. I have learned more from my time with Glinda than anyone."

Ariana Grande expressed her heartfelt gratitude for giving life to the beloved character.

"Now, to see how it has moved and been there for you all in the same way that it has for me over the course of my life has been the most meaningful, moving, and cherished gift of all. You’ll never know what it truly means to me. I’m so thankful to have been a tiny piece of this bubble puzzle and to be your Glinda."

Before concluding her post, Ariana Grande left a profound message to the readers.

"Whenever things get scary or you feel alone home is wherever and with whomever we want it to be, and there’s no place like home. Your chosen Ozian family loves you exactly as you are, and I couldn’t be thankfuller that you exist."
