Social media rumors claim Ariana Grande made millions of dollars more in salary than "Wicked" co-star Cynthia Erivo. Here's what Universal is saying.

The rumor about Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s “Wicked” paychecks has been cleared up. It was reported online that Grande, 31, was paid $15 million to star as Glinda the Good Witch in the two-part movie musical, while Erivo, 37, only got $1 million to play Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.

Some on social media have been saying Ariana Grande got paid more for “Wicked” than her costar Cynthia Erivo, but the movie’s studio is setting the record straight.

Wicked' stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were paid the same salary. There were false reports of difference of pay.

At the very first premiere, Grande and Erivo made a splash: Grande wore custom Vivienne Westwood and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, paying homage to Glinda the Good Witch in the original Wizard of Oz film, while Erivo was in custom Louis Vuitton and Roberto Coin.

The confirmation comes after rumors spread on social media that the “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” singer, 31, was paid a whopping $15 million for her supporting role as Glinda, while Erivo, 37, made only $1 million to lead as Elphaba.

Cynthia Erivo is a proponent of fans being able to sing along to songs from her musical "Wicked" at the movies, despite what theaters say.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, whose new movie Moana 2 debuted in US theaters on November 27, 2024, divided many people online after encouraging singing in theaters. Now, he has found an ally in Wicked‘s Cynthia Erivo,
