After a six-year hiatus, Ariana Grande made a spectacular return to the Met Gala, lighting up the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a performance that merged glamour with musical theater.

The event, held on May 6, featured Grande not only revisiting her well-loved hits such as "Into You" and "yes, and?" but also teaming up with Cynthia Erivo, her co-star from the upcoming movie "Wicked," for a spellbinding surprise performance of "When You Believe."




The magic of the night was enhanced by the creative genius of John Galliano for Maison Margiela, who Grande credited with creating her breathtaking outfit. "Had the honor and most special time performing at @metmuseum in @maisonmargiela by the one and only, most brilliant angel of all @jgalliano (how i wept in our fitting !!!!)," Grande shared on her Instagram post on May 7.


The collaboration between Grande and Erivo was a highlight, showcasing their chemistry and hinting at what might be expected from their highly anticipated film. The performance was not just a showcase of vocal prowess but also a theatrical spectacle, supported by an ensemble of dancers and musicians. It was an evening of thanksgiving for Grande, who expressed her gratitude towards the museum, Vogue, Anna Wintour, and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann for making the evening possible.



This Met Gala moment was more than just a musical performance; it was a fusion of fashion, film, and music, reflecting Grande's unique ability to transcend entertainment mediums. Her emotional investment in the performance and her heartfelt thanks to those involved made it clear that this was an experience she would treasure forever. With this performance, Grande not only celebrated her return to the Met Gala but also set the stage for her next big artistic endeavor with "Wicked."
