Pop sensations Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande have set the internet abuzz with speculation about a possible collaboration following their electric appearance at a Wicked Q&A event in Los Angeles on February 4.
The event, held at the Directors Guild of America after a special screening of the beloved musical, featured Grande—who stars as Glinda in the upcoming Wicked film—alongside Eilish in a lively discussion. From the moment they took the stage arm-in-arm, fans were captivated by their chemistry.
As the conversation unfolded, their mutual admiration became evident. Grande, beaming with praise, called Eilish “one of the greatest singers of our generation.” Eilish, in turn, shared a nostalgic moment, revealing that she used to refer to Grande as "Ari" to her brother, only to be reminded, “You don’t know her.” The anecdote sent the audience into laughter.
However, the real buzz began when Eilish made an unexpected slip of the tongue. While discussing the event’s format, she joked about “a few more songs” before quickly correcting herself—“Songs? Did I say songs? Oh my god, I meant questions. I’m on tour!” But it was Grande’s response that sent fans into a frenzy: “We do need to do that, though, at some point.” Without hesitation, Eilish agreed: “I would love to do that.”
The exchange left fans eagerly anticipating the possibility of a future duet between the two superstars.
Beyond the excitement of a potential collaboration, the duo also delved into their experiences with Wicked. Grande reflected on her rigorous audition process and the immense responsibility of embodying Glinda, while Eilish expressed her admiration for Grande’s dedication to the role.
The two also found common ground in discussing the challenges of live performance. Grande emphasized the importance of singing live for emotional authenticity in the film, while Eilish—who thrives on the spontaneity of live concerts—agreed wholeheartedly.
