Cynthia Erivo Instagram – OK folks if you know me, you know there’s a story coming stick with me for a second. So a few months ago I was minding my business on the way to something or other, when I get a call from @arianagrande which for us is nothing out of the ordinary since we speak almost every day, that’s what sisters do…. Anyway, I answer the phone and she sounds excited, she tells me she’s been asked to perform at the Met gala. That news would have been enough, and I was poised to pour out libations of “congratulations!!” But before I could, she goes on to say that she wants me to sing a final song with her. I would come to find out that she actually asked if they thought I would say yes to doing so, which prompted her call, as if I would refuse. 🥹 so she asks me if I’d sing with her… my answer is yes!! Here’s the thing. In the lead up, part of me doesn’t believe it’ll happen, because quite frankly she has a big enough job to do without our duet, and I have weird anxieties about being let down. But Ari showed up bold and bright, and made some space for me on a stage that was hers for the night. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. I’m so grateful. And to everyone that made that a special moment for me too?! I hope your lives are filled with endless abundance. Hey Ari? You know this already but I love you and thank you. You’ll never really know what it meant to me, because I don’t have the words. 💚♾️🩷 Photos: Getty images
