Taking in their suits — Smith’s a pastel pink and Tomlinson’s a shimmering green, since we all know “pink goes good with green” — she tells them, “Of course, you’re Glinda and you’re Elphaba, that makes so much sense.” Hugging Tomlinson, Grande continued, “Hi Connor, I’m so honored to meet you. I’m so honored to meet you guys. Thank you for bringing so much light to everyone’s lives.”
According to Grande, she’s a longtime fan of Love on the Spectrum and follows both Smith and Tomlinson online. However, Tomlinson takes the cake of their mutual admiration, telling Grande, “I’ve been a big fan of you since you starred in Victorious.” Grande’s response? “No way? That is crazy!”
Following a final hug, Grande turned to greet Tomlinson’s mom, who told her, “Thank you for loving my boy.” However, the Wicked star turned their “light” back on to them, telling all three of them, “Thank you for everything you guys do.”
