During the whole promotional tour of Wicked, Ariana Grande has been visibly emotional about many topics in her life. One such emotional moment occurred during her appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. The pop star went through a debacle in her personal life during her divorce from Dalton Gomez. Shortly after, she made headlines for her subsequent controversial relationship with co-actor Ethan Slater.
Recently, Grande and Barrymore got emotional when they talked about their impact on one another. During the breakdown, they held hands and expressed gratitude. Here’s what exactly happened.
Why Did Ariana Grande & Drew Barrymore Break Down?
During Grande’s appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, viewers witnessed a touching session between the singer and the host. The whole set was decorated. Everyone, including the audience, was decked out in pink, an ode to Grande’s character in the film Galinda Upland. After the actor’s entry, Barrymore held onto her hands and expressed admiration.

The two women explained how they first met and the experience from each other’s perspective. Grande said she admires the host because she knows how hard the latter works through ups and downs. The Sweetener singer then mentioned how young Barrymore was when she started in the industry.
She further pointed out how harsh the film industry can get. “It can be ugly sometimes. And your strength and your heart, and who you are, the light that you bring, and your ability to dance in the rain and preserve that childlike wonder is such a gift,” Grande attempted to convey her thoughts.

“You’ve shown no matter what, because it can be dark and ugly sometimes, is that you just find that beauty, because it’s there,” Barrymore stated while Grande wiped away her tears. The host then praised Wicked and called it a film that “brings people together.” Holding Grande’s hand, she asked, “Do you know what an accomplishment that is? Oh my God.”
