Ariana Grande was thrown for a bit of a curveball while on the red carpet at the 2025 Golden Globes. While speaking to a reporter at the Sunday, January 5, event, the singer said her mother was the first person she called after finding out she landed the coveted role of Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked.

Grande was gifted a wand with a star on it, while fellow costars Cynthia Erivo and Ethan Slater were gifted a little broom and tin trinket, respectively. The young star has been accessorizing with little purses on the red carpet leading up to the big awards show, having previously carried a pink unicorn in her purse at one of the premieres.
