Ariana Grande, celebrated for her pop brilliance worldwide, still carries humility like a rare jewel. In Wicked: For Good, she shimmered as Glinda, from the trembling moment of moral reckoning to the fiery confrontation with Cynthia Erivo, navigating fear, courage, and regret. Rumors of Oscar consideration swirled, and Grande, it appears, has caught the scent of Hollywood admiration.

The singer opened up about how she felt about being considered for an Oscar to Vogue Japan. The actress actually could never fathom that she would ever witness such a situation.

"I just never thought I’d be seen that way by the industry that I love," she shared. The actress felt immense joy in knowing that the industry that she has devoted her life to actually appreciates the effort that she has put in.

In addition to that, she told Vogue Japan that she was exhilarated to share this extraordinary part of her life with her mother. Even if she did not get nominated for the Oscars a second time around for the same role, Ariana Grande is more than happy with the consideration itself.

While the singer hits the tour circuit again, audiences eagerly await what Ariana Grande will do on screen next.
