Ariana Grande's Wicked October: Global Premiere, New Songs, and Activism Hints

Ariana Grande BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Ariana Grande is experiencing a whirlwind October as the anticipation builds for Wicked: For Good, the highly anticipated sequel hitting theaters November 21st. According to Channel News Asia, the pop star will be joining co-stars Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, and director Jon M Chu in Singapore on November 13th for the Asia-Pacific premiere at Universal Studios Singapore. This marks the fourth stop of a five-city global premiere tour for what's shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year. Up North Live reported on October 9th that Universal Pictures released an exclusive sneak peek of two brand-new original songs featured in the sequel that weren't in the original Broadway show. Grande's character Glinda belts out "The Girl in the Bubble," while Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba performs "No Place Like Home." The clip aired on the Today show and coincided with tickets going on sale for the film. On the social media front, Grande is making headlines for her political activity. According to Tyla and Tribune Pakistan, the singer recently followed climate activist Greta Thunberg on Instagram and liked her post responding to President Donald Trump. Thunberg had issued a sarcastic statement after Trump called her "a troublemaker" with "anger management problems" following her deportation from Israel. While screenshots appear to confirm the follow and like, Grande's team hasn't officially verified these actions. Still, observers note this could signal the pop star aligning herself more visibly with environmental and social activism. Meanwhile, Lainey Gossip is reporting that Grande and boyfriend Ethan Slater, whom she met on the Wicked set, appear to be soft-launching a breakup, though details remain speculative. On a brighter note, tickets for Grande's Eternal Sunshine Tour went on general sale back in September according to AOL, with the 2026 tour spanning North America and the UK. Resale tickets are currently starting around five hundred dollars on platforms like Ticketmaster and StubHub, with some premium seats reaching into the thousands, reflecting massive demand for the Grammy-winning artist's return to touring.
