In November 2025, South African influencer Tricia Mpisi recounted a heartwarming experience that occurred a year earlier at an early screening of the film Wicked. Mpisi was "supremely excited" to attend the event and meet the actresses playing Elphaba and Glinda, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. However, her excitement quickly turned to panic when a glass of champagne spilled all over her during a group photo.
Mpisi described the chaos that ensued, with the alcohol burning her eyes and mascara. But to her surprise, Erivo and Grande immediately rushed to her aid. Erivo held Mpisi and guided her to a chair, while Grande offered to cancel the premiere so Mpisi could clean up. The two actresses tenderly wiped Mpisi's eyes and ensured the champagne was completely removed from her outfit before the screening began.
Mpisi was deeply touched by the celebrities' compassion, noting that in her home country of South Africa, bystanders often ignore those in need. She expressed immense gratitude to Erivo and Grande for turning her "most embarrassing moment into one of the most memorable, human moments" of her life.
