Ariana Grande, 31, was in high spirits as she made an appearance on The Graham Norton Show hours after the Academy Awards shortlist was revealed.
Earlier, the singer admitted she ‘couldn’t stop crying’ after receiving her first ever Oscar nomination – she landed a nod for Best Supporting Actress for her acclaimed performance as Glinda in Wicked.
Gracing Graham’s famous sofa in an elegant floral dress, Ariana joined fellow guests Will Ferrell, Reese Witherspoon, Don Gilet and Olly Alexander for the show, which will air on Friday.
The star channelled her off-screen alter-ego Glinda in a stunning dress with a silver sequinned bodice, that flowed into a blue floral skirt.
After her nomination was announced, Ariana took to Instagram with a lengthy note, while sharing a photo of herself as a child in a Dorothy from Wizard Of Oz costume.
‘Picking my head up in between sobs to say thank you so much to @theacademy for this unfathomable recognition,’ she began.
‘I cannot stop crying, to no one’s surprise.
‘I’m humbled and deeply honored to be in such brilliant company and sharing this with tiny ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow just before the big, beautiful bubble entered. i’m so proud of you, tiny.
It continues, ‘Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for this acknowledgement @theacademy.
‘Thank you @jonmchu for taking this chance on me and for being the most unbelievably brilliant leader, human being, and most fierce friend. i am so deeply proud of my beautiful Wicked family.
‘I am so proud of my Elphie, my sister, my dear @cynthiaerivo. your brilliance is never ending and you deserve every flower (tulip) in every garden. i love you unconditionally, always.
‘I don’t quite have all my words yet, i’m still trying to breathe. but thank you. oh my goodness, thank you. Universal, Marc, my family, my heart.
