Ariana Grande had the sweetest cause for celebration at the 2026 Golden Globes.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe what happened! I was practically vibrating with excitement at the awards show on January 11th at the Beverly Hilton, and then… there she was! It was Scarlett Spears, the amazing girl who played young Galinda in Wicked: For Good! She was right there, and I just… I couldn’t believe it was the girl who was my idol’s character when she was younger! It was a total dream come true to see her!

Okay, so I was just melting when I saw Scarlett’s latest Instagram post! She shared the sweetest video of her little ones meeting, and the caption was perfect: ‘When two worlds collide, in the BEST way possible!’ Honestly, it’s those little moments, seeing friendships blossom, that just make my heart sing. She hashtagged it ‘#ForeverFriends,’ and it’s totally giving me all the warm and fuzzy feelings. It’s a beautiful reminder to cherish those connections!

Ariana was thrilled to meet 8-year-old Sharline Spears and her mother, excitedly writing online, “My angels! It was so good to see you both!!!!!!” (You can find out which other celebrities attended the Golden Globes here.)

During an interview with TopMob News’ Justin Sylvester on the red carpet, he told her, “You are amazing in this movie! I’m really excited for everyone to see it – it’s truly heartwarming.”

As for Scarlett, playing the role of Young Glinda was a dream come true.
