I did not expect to have such an out-of-body experience while watching Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande perform at the 2025 Oscars, but here we are!

Two performers on stage; one in a floral-accented gown, the other in an elegant strapless dress. Both holding microphones and singing passionately

The two opened the show with an emotional performance paying tribute to their film Wicked, which is nominated for Best Picture.

Ariana kicked it off with a beautiful rendition of Judy Garland's iconic ballad "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" while donning a ruby dress with matching ruby slippers.

Cynthia then graced the stage for a truly special execution of Diana Ross's "Home," which we all know and love from The Wizard of Oz adaptation The Wiz. And baby, let me tell you, both of their mics were ON.
