A viral clip from the ‘Wicked’ press tour featuring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande sparked many memes — here’s how it started and how it evolved.

Ariana Grande has responded to the viral "holding space" moment from the Wicked press tour. The singer and actor, who plays Glinda the Good Witch in the musical movie, commented a response to a recreation of the famous "holding space" interview moment featuring the original interviewer, Out reporter Tracy E. Gilchrist.

The internet has been inundated with a press tour moment from the film "Wicked" that's been memed around the world: Actress Cynthia Erivo, overcome with emotion, shares she's stunned to hear people have been taking lyrics from the "Wicked" song "Defying Gravity" and "really holding space with that.

The meme has become a certified part of not just the Wicked press run, but of the culture. It's on t-shirts, the Gay Men's Chorus turned it into a song, and it's been referenced by everyone from Keke Palmer to the Met Museum.

Fans are “holding space” for the Wicked song Defying Gravity online as part of a new viral meme that has taken over the internet.

Let’s set the scene! A reporter from Out.com told Erivo this: “I’ve seen this week, people are taking the lyrics of Defying Gravity and really holding space with that, and feeling power in that.” Erivo got very emotional, saying she didn’t know that had happened and that it was extremely powerful. Grande then held her … finger.

It’s been a little over a week since Wicked hit movie theatres, but fans are still “holding space” for a viral interview moment that blew up recently — and it looks like Ariana Grande feels the same as all of us.
