We are all holding space for Ariana Grande‘s latest interview amid her Wicked press tour. The actress, who plays Glinda in the long-awaited musical movie, became emotional when Drew Barrymore surprised her with the her character’s original wand from The Wizard of Oz.
The adorable clip, which will air during Thursday’s (Dec. 5) episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, was shared to the show’s social media accounts yesterday, Dec. 3.
“I have something that’s extremely exciting and special. It was owned by the Smithsonian. And now it’s owned in private hands. But for the purposes of our sit-down, they loaned it to us,” Barrymore explained, before telling her crew, “Bring out the original Glinda wand, please.”
Grande immediately placed her hand over her mouth in shock. “Are you serious right now?” she asked, seemingly beginning to tear up as a producer handed her the wand.
“Well, thank you guys. It’s been fun. Bye,” Grande jokingly said as she stood up and walked away with the cinematic artifact. “I’m kidding, I’m kidding, I’m kidding.”
The singer then asked Barrymore how she was able to “pull this off,” wondering if she had to “break in” to obtain the wand, which was used by Billie Burke, who played Glinda the Good Witch of the North in the 1939 film.
“I have to give credit to everyone on this show, because literally we were so excited about you coming here, we were like, ‘Let’s get the wand, let’s get [your grandmother] Nonna,’” Barrymore said, noting that Grande “looks so perfect” with the wand.

Like Grande, viewers were feeling all the feels in the comments section.
“This press tour has me crying every second. Pls let me rest,” one wrote under the video on Instagram, while another added, “That’s actually so sweet. Her genuine emotion came out, that’s really touching.”
A third person said, “You can even tell by the way she’s so carefully holding it and how she didn’t even wanna fully grab it at first how much this wand, and this role, and everything Wicked and Wizard of Oz means to Ariana,” while someone else commented, “I’m crying at every interview I see about this movie.”
The Drew Barrymore Show airs on weekdays on CBS. You can check the website for local airtimes.
