The clip from 2015 showed the Thank U, Next singer sitting down with her Scream Queens co-star Abigail Breslin to react to iconic screams in classic movies.
After watching a scene from the 1960s thriller Psycho, Abigail stumbled over her words, trying to describe it.

“I think what’s interesting is that that was a very smooth… a smoother and a lower. What I liked about it was that it kinda came, she’s like, is like, ‘Oh. Yeah. This is happening right now,’” she said.
Ariana could be seen blinking slowly and dramatically before sarcastically replying, “I want to see what you just said written on paper.”

A Latino author, going by Aaron, shared the video on TikTok two days ago, captioning it, “How the old Ariana (white woman of color) would have reacted to the holding space interviewer,” referring to a recent Wicked promotion that fans are turning into memes.
Viewers quickly shared their thoughts on the clip, which has reached more than 6M views and over 2K comments.
“This has to be a different person,” one person emphasized.
“I was talking about how she changes so often and so extremely to my friend, and he said that he hates rumors, and I was like, babe, it’s not a rumor; you can just look it up 😅,” another joked.
A user found the difference to be somewhat relatable, writing, “I don’t think we’re meant to stay the same person forever… I’ve been a few people 😂”
“She’s also a lot older and has a completely different story now? Idk,” someone theorized.

An interview from two weeks ago unexpectedly sparked a tsunami of memes.
Journalist Tracy E. Gilchrist discussed how those in queer media were “taking the lyrics of Defying Gravity and really holding space with that and feeling power in that.”
An emotional Cynthia Erivo replied, “I didn’t know that was happening,” before adding, “That’s really powerful. That’s what I wanted.”
Viewers were confused, turning their heads to see if “holding space” was a new phrase they were unaware of before the memes started.
“This is genuinely so funny from beginning to end,” one person wrote on TikTok.
Another laughed, “I can’t believe this was a real conversation between real people.”

Since then, many accounts — including verified ones — have joined in on the fun.
“The 103rd floor of the Empire State Building was originally built to hold space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity,” read the tweet from the official handle.
