This Wicked press tour clip is getting utterly dragged and has become a massive meme

The Wicked press tour has been deranged, of course – what else can you expect from impassioned theatre people? If you thought Lady Gaga did the most when she was doing press for A Star Is Born and House of Gucci, it is nothing in comparison to the dramatics that have gone down between Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo on the Wicked press tour. Not that they can be fully blamed for it, because now one press clip has become a big meme from the Wicked tour as a journalist says that people “are taking the lyrics of Defying Gravity and holding space with that” and no one has a bloody clue what she means. Except Cynthia Erivo, who gets emotional.

Journalist Tracy E Gilchrist from Out is speaking with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, and says “I’ve seen this week people are taking the lyrics to Defying Gravity and really holding space with that and feeling power in that.” Cynthia then says “I didn’t know that was happening”, to which Gilchrist says “I’ve seen it, yeah.”

Cynthia replies “That’s really powerful. That’s what I wanted” and Ariana Grande clutches her finger in a very way.

Tracy E Gilchrist then confesses she’s only seen it “on a couple of posts” and doesn’t know how widespread it is. Well, you’re in luck Tracy – because it is now VERY widespread because people are so confused by the conversation that it’s gone viral and become a huge meme on Twitter.

I can’t tell what my favorite part of this video is: the solemnity in announcing people have been “holding space” for the lyrics of a 20 year old song, Cynthia acting like she personally wrote it, Ariana holding onto Cynthia’s index finger, or the reveal of “a couple of posts” https://t.co/eDDUNcvaRn

My favourite part is the fact Defying Gravity has existed for so many years and I need to know who is only now “holding space” for it.

One of the most viral tweets dragging this clip has nearly 4 million views. Daniel Liu writes “I’m completely mesmerised by this clip. It’s almost like they are speaking a language I don’t understand. I can’t catch the sense of it for a single moment. I’m not understanding the words of the feelings or the energy at all. It’s amazing.”

Wicked having the holding space with Defying Gravity lyrics clip becoming a meme is the most representative thing of what it’s like to be stuck in theatre kid world I’ve ever seen. And I say that as a former theatre kid. Recovered.

Well, kind of recovered. Best believe I have my release day Wicked tickets booked for tonight. And I will be holding space with the lyrics of Defying Gravity, I tell you that much.
