Ariana Grande said, “Yes, and?” to perform at this year’s Met Gala, transforming herself into a fairy-green Sleeping Beauty and giving Elphaba vibes. According to Vogue, Grande started off the surprise performance by singing Disney’s “Once Upon a Dream,” (Nickelodeon, look away), then five of her own songs (“Into You,” “Seven Rings,” “The Boy Is Mine,” “We Can’t Be Friends,” and “Yes, And”), and finished off with a cover of “When You Believe” with her Wickedly talented co-star Cynthia Erivo, who wore white with red roses onstage — very Glinda. Grande was joined by 30 (!!!) dancers onstage — some of whom lifted her up as she belted a song — and 40 members of the Broadway Inspirational Voices choir. When will the full performance be released?! As a wise scholar once said, “Please, send it to me, Rachel.”
