No one has had a better press run than singers Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo of “Wicked.” And despite the internet clowning the duo for their close — sometimes too much for comfort — friendship, the pair said it was all organic.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo weren’t just in sync on the Wicked set— but prior to filming as well. The actresses revealed in an interview with Variety published on Thursday, Jan. 2, that after being hired as the two leads of the film, they worked together to ensure that both of their needs were met on the set.

The emotional press tour for Wicked continues on to awards season as the film hits its digital release. And listen, at this point complaining about Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s displays of sisterhood is tired from anyone who hasn’t shot two films back to back and sung the musical’s iconic songs live.
