Amanda Seyfried Reacts To Viral Video Of Her Singing THIS Song From Wicked; Says She ‘Went Hard’ To Play Glinda

As an ardent fan of musicals and Amanda Seyfried, I was utterly thrilled when her rendition of Wicked’s song Popular swept across the internet, sparking rumors that it was her audition tape for Glinda. The anticipation was palpable, as I eagerly awaited to see this enchanting actress step into the magical role she seemed destined for.

In 2024, when Amanda Seyfried sang the Wicked song Popular in the movie adaptation of the musical, it sparked internet excitement. A viral video led people to believe that her performance was actually her audition for the part of Glinda, which ultimately went to Ariana Grande.

In a recent chat with People magazine, the actress from Mean Girls clarified the misconceptions. She explained that the supposed video was actually filmed during a Lancôme photoshoot in Long Island City, with Elizabeth Stewart being her stylist at the time.

The actress openly acknowledged that her behavior was playful and joked about the dress resembling something from Glinda’s wardrobe. Her stylist had encouraged her to perform the song, but in retrospect, Seyfried believed Stewart should not have shared the video publicly. She explained later that it was an informal, lighthearted moment captured during her Lancôme photoshoot.

Amanda Seyfried isn’t new to musical productions, having starred in films like Mamma Mia! and Les Misérables. Moreover, her vocal talent is truly exceptional! Contrary to popular belief, that viral video wasn’t an audition tape, but she did indeed try out for the role of Glinda in the movie. Regrettably, she didn’t secure it in the end.

The actress from ‘Gone’ stated emphatically that she put in a lot of effort and it was indeed a lengthy procedure. She also mentioned, ‘Everything unfolds as it should.’

In a conversation with Backstage in July 2022, the actress praised Grande’s lavish portrayal of the main character, also mentioning that her children have been playing the soundtrack continuously. She confessed that after disliking her voice in her previous musical, Les Misérables, auditioning for Glinda became a top priority for her.

After “Les Mis,” she expressed a desire to improve herself and her abilities. Performing in Seven Veils reminded her of the progress she’s made as a singer, which she felt was important to demonstrate during her audition for Wicked. She concluded by saying that she now feels ready for any future musical roles.

In the newest cinematic rendition of the popular Broadway musical Wicked, Ariana Grande joins forces with Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Peter Dinklage, Bowen Yang, and more talented actors.
