Ariana Grande Reveals She Has COVID Days After Cynthia Erivo Fell Ill

Ariana Grande shared that she tested positive for COVID-19 as Wicked: For Good’s press tour comes to a close.

Grande, 32, shared a photo from her Tuesday, Nov. 18 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Nov. 20 and captioned the post, “moments before Covid.”

After Grande shared the post on Instagram, Variety reported that the actress and singer pulled out of her planned appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show this week and will miss Q&A panels for Wicked: For Good in the coming days. Her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo will still appear on The Kelly Clarkson Show, as Variety reported. 

Grande’s health announcement comes three days after she and Erivo, 38, skipped most press interviews at For Good’s N.Y.C. premiere on Monday, Nov. 17. Universal Pictures announced prior to the event that Erivo had lost her voice and was “not feeling well.” Both women posed for photos at the event’s red carpet, and they briefly spoke during a livestream hosted at the premiere. Grande explained during the interview that she was “not letting [Erivo] speak,” though Erivo did offer a short comment with a hoarse voice.

Grande’s COVID reveal comes at the end of a setback-filled press tour for For Good, the sequel to 2024’s Wicked. Grande was prevented from attending a premiere for the movie in São Paulo, Brazil on Nov. 4 “due to a safety issue” with her plane. At the movie’s Singapore premiere on Nov. 13, a man rushed at the Glinda actress and grabbed her while she walked the red carpet with her costars.

(The man, identified as 26-year-old Australian native Johnson Wen, pleaded guilty to one charge of being a public nuisance and was sentenced to nine days in jail, The New York Times reported on Monday, Nov. 17.)

When Erivo and Grande were on the press circuit promoting the first Wicked movie in 2024, they revealed that they each separately contracted COVID-19 days before filming “some of the most important works of the whole movie,” as Grande once told The New York Times.

Erivo, meanwhile, told Jimmy Fallon during her own appearance on The Tonight Show on Nov. 19 that her voice was “still missing in action, but she’s there,” speaking with a quiet, low tone. “She’s kind of sexy,” the acclaimed actress and singer said of losing her voice.
