Luckily for us, Grande and Erivo opened the show with hit songs from The Wizard of Oz and Wicked, and it went down very well.
Ariana opened in a ruby red dress with the classic song ‘Over The Rainbow’ and was soon joined by Erivo, stunning in an all white outfit.
The pair then gave us a snippet from the climax of Wicked, as they both belted out Defying Gravity.
Erivo, naturally, absolutely nailed that final note, and the audience was quickly on their feet to give her a standing ovation.

“That was the best Oscars opening/performance/everything of our lifetime I am in tears,” tweeted a fourth.
Erivo and Grande will both be hoping to go home with an award this evening, as they’ve been nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.
Wicked is also nominated for Best Picture, and fans across the world will be hoping that the magic of Oz will be enough to bag the coveted prizes.
