What is this feeling? The Oscars have begun!
The stars of Wicked kicked off the 2025 Oscars with a fantastically jaw-dropping musical performance, confirming rumors that the two would be performing on Hollywood's biggest award stage.
Grande started off the show with an homage to The Wizard of Oz, singing "Over the Rainbow" in a glimmering red dress under a stunning rainbow-hued spotlight. Erivo, wearing a breathtaking white gown, then took over the mic to pour out a rendition of "Home," as the stage screens took viewers through the glimmering sights of Los Angeles.
