Ariana Grande says filming โ€˜Wickedโ€™ has been a โ€œhealingโ€ experience.

The 29-year-old pop star/actress is playing Glinda The Good Witch in an upcoming film version of the hit stage show which is going to be released in two parts and sheโ€™s been busy filming in the UK โ€“ and Ariana has now gushed about her love for the project insisting it has helped her in ways she couldnโ€™t have imagined.

In a post on Instagram, she wrote: โ€œSavouring every millisecond left with my Glinda (although sheโ€™ll be with me irrevocably, forever). she shows me so many new things every day.

โ€œโ€˜I am so grateful, I donโ€™t know what to do or say โ€ฆ to be here in Oz where everyday is a life changing one โ€ฆ to be feeling, learning and growing so much at such a disarming speed โ€ฆ to feel so much love around me, to begin each day before the sun is up and to end after it sets.โ€

She went on to add: โ€œTo work in the safest, most beautiful and loving, biggest-yet-most-intimate/tiny-feeling spaces โ€ฆ To be lead by the most thoughtful, brilliant, compassionate and warmest possible director on this planet, my other Ozian best friend ever Jon [director Jon M. Chu] โ€ฆ to be transforming and healing parts of me that I never knew needed it. Or maybe did.โ€

Ariana is believed to be living in London while working on the two-part movie with reports suggesting sheโ€™s rented a plush mansion in the north of the UK capital.

A source previously told The Sun newspaper: โ€œAriana is renting a stunning house in one of the capitalโ€™s most sought-after neighbourhoods. โ€œBut anyone who thinks they might catch a glimpse of her has no chance, as the place she has found is like a fortress. โ€œThe home has private grounds and is well out of reach of other people, so sheโ€™ll be able to totally switch off after filming โ€ฆ No expense has been spared in the house. It really is like a palace.โ€

The singer will play Glinda The Good Witch in the forthcoming two films, which will be released in December 2024 and December 2025. The โ€˜7 Ringsโ€™ hitmaker saw off competition from Amanda Seyfried to land the role.
