Cynthia Erivo is about to have a moment at the 2025 Oscars, and no, we don’t mean an “accidentally stepping on someone’s dress” kind of moment. We’re talking a super-secret, ultra-exclusive, classified-level performance that’s got everyone buzzing harder than a Hollywood afterparty espresso martini.
The 38-year-old Wicked star and actual vocal wizard will hit the stage alongside Ariana Grande on Sunday, March 2, to bless our ears with a performance so special, the Oscars team is acting like it’s a nuclear code.
Oh, and in case that’s not enough excitement, Cynthia is also up for Best Actress—because, duh, she’s Cynthia Erivo.
Now, here’s where it gets juicy. Oscars executive producer Katy Mullan dropped the ultimate teaser during a press conference, making it clear that Cynthia will have her moment in the spotlight whether or not she takes home a trophy.
“I think that Cynthia delivered an incredible performance this year, and there is a very special moment on the show. We can’t reveal what it is or where it is,” Katy hinted.
Excuse me?! Is she going to appear out of thin air? Will she float in on a broom? Will she teleport from her seat onto the stage? WILL SHE SING WHILE SKYDIVING INTO THE DOLBY THEATRE?
Katy continued: “I think that any fans of Cynthia Erivo, you’re going to get something that is hugely entertaining and full of joy and really celebrates her, her incredible talent, and her place in the last year in music.”
Translation: Buckle up, people. Something iconic is about to happen.
The only question now is—how long do we have to wait before someone spills the beans?! 👀
