Ariana Grande opens up about Covid-19 infection while filming 'Wicked'

Ariana Grande just revealed a shocking secret from the set of Wicked!

The popular songstress, who starred in the successful 2024 film, opened up about suffering from Covid-19 while she was filming.

Grande, who portrays Glinda in the on-screen adaptation of the Broadway musical, explained how she caught the infamous coronavirus disease the same week she had to film her character’s song, Popular.

In her conversation with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation during the screening Wicked, getting candid about the scene, the eternal sunshine hitmaker stated, "Each contraption that was built for Glinda...why does she have so many contraptions?

Grande continued, "We had to reset for the contraptions and stuff but that hallway, the ending, was a last-minute piece of choreography that our brilliant choreographer Chris Scott just added last minute because we weren't even sure if we were going to do the long outro with the key changes, the modulations in it or not, until we saw the hallway at Shiz.”

"Meanwhile, I was recovering from COVID, and my first and only time having COVID was the week of Popular. Hilarious! So crazy, it's fine, I came with my mask and my sweatpants,” the 31-year-old singer stated, as she opened up about suffering from the viral infection.

However, Ariana Grande assured the safety of everyone around her as well as her own health, noting, “The test was, by the way, almost clear. Don't worry, it was a very faint pink. Everyone was fine!"
