While singing “Over the Rainbow” on TikTok and her Instagram Story, Grande responded to this fan question: “Why Aren’t You A Singer Anymore?!?!?!?”

Grande proved she still has the singing chops she’s ALWAYS had and even added very tiny text to explain to her fans why she’s been absent from creating new music.

“Is literally on set filming two musical movies all day every day ???????,” she hit back.

Cynthia Erivo Defends Ariana Grande

Grande’s co-star, Cynthia Erivo, reposted her IG Story and added her own commentary to show fans that she is still a singer

“She is and always will be a singer, she just happens to be able to do more than that!!! Now… as you were… we’re working!!! ? ??.”

Erivo stars opposite of Grande in “Wicked” the movie as Elphaba.

The movie-musical adaptation initially excited Broadway fans across the globe; however, when “Wicked” director John M. Chu announced in April 2022 that the movie adaptation will be split into TWO SEPARATE MOVIES… fans grew wickedly angry.

In a lengthy note posted to Instagram on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, Chu wrote, “SPECIAL WICKED UPDATE/ Thank you for all the support these past several months in anticipation of the WICKED movie. We have so many exciting things to share but for now I’m giving you one… or two, rather.”

Chu then went on to explain that he and his team were having a difficult time cutting down the musical numbers, songs and script.

“As we prepared this production over the last year, it became increasingly clear that it would be impossible to wrestle the story of WICKED into a single film without doing some real damage to it. As we tried to cut songs or trim characters, those decisions began to feel like fatal compromises to the source material that has entertained us. All for so many years,” he continued. “So we decided to give ourselves a bigger canvas and make not just one WICKED movie but TWO!!!! With more space, we can tell the story of WICKED as it was meant to be told while bringing even more depth and surprise to the journeys of these beloved characters.”

Chu promised fans that he, Grande, Erivo, and the cast and crew would create nothing less than “an experience that honors its foundation for all the fans who’ve waited for this movie, and to offer a thrilling, fantastical world full of dynamic characters that invites in those who are unfamiliar.

“WICKED” part one will be released in December 2024, and part two of the adaptation will be released in December 2025.

One critic tweeted, “This is a very bad decision. Where are you going to end the first film? At ‘Defying Gravity’ and you’re going to leave part 2 without the show’s biggest and most recognizable song? I. knew when you were announced as the director that only dumb decisions would be made.”

“How is it that a ~2.5 hour stage musical (with a 15-20 minute intermission) doesn’t fit into a ~2.5 hour movie? I mean, that already gives you ~20 *more* minutes of time in the movie for the same material,” yet another frustrated fan questioned.
